## Performance
Benchmark against an app with 10,000 routes, hitting the 10,000th to measure the worst case scenario.
Based on [`jeremyevans/r10k`](https://github.com/jeremyevans/r10k), `Hanami::API` scores first for speed, and second for memory footprint.
### Runtime
Runtime to complete 20,000 requests (lower is better).
| Framework | Seconds to complete |
|------------|---------------------|
| hanami-api | 0.116 |
| watts | 0.235 |
| roda | 0.348 |
| syro | 0.356 |
| rack-app | 0.623 |
| cuba | 1.291 |
| rails | 17.047 |
| sinatra | 197.477 |
### Memory
Memory footprint for 10,000 routes app (lower is better).
| Framework | Bytes |
|------------|--------|
| roda | 47252 |
| hanami-api | 53988 |
| cuba | 55420 |
| syro | 60256 |
| rack-app | 82976 |
| watts | 84956 |
| sinatra | 124980 |
| rails | 143048 |
### Requests per second
For this benchmark there are two apps for each framework: one with the root route, and one with 10,000 routes.
Requests per second hitting the 1st (and only route) and the 10,000th route to measure the best and worst case scenario (higher is better).
| Framework | 1st route | 10,000th route |
|------------|-----------|----------------|
| hanami-api | 14719.95 | 14290.20 |
| watts | 13912.31 | 12609.68 |
| roda | 13965.20 | 11051.27 |
| syro | 13079.12 | 10689.51 |
| rack-app | 10274.01 | 10306.46 |
| cuba | 13061.82 | 7084.33 |
| rails | 1345.27 | 303.06 |
| sinatra | 5038.74 | 28.14 |
## Usage
Create `config.ru` at the root of your project:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
require "bundler/setup"
require "hanami/api"
class App < Hanami::API
get "/" do
"Hello, world"
end
end
run App.new
```
Start the Rack server with `bundle exec rackup`
### Routes
A route is a combination of three elements:
* HTTP method (e.g. `get`)
* Path (e.g. `"/"`)
* Endpoint (e.g. `MyEndpoint.new`)
```ruby
get "/", to: MyEndpoint.new
```
### HTTP methods
`Hanami::API` supports the following HTTP methods:
* `get`
* `head`
* `post`
* `patch`
* `put`
* `delete`
* `options`
* `trace`
* `link`
* `unlink`
### Endpoints
`Hanami::API` supports two kind of endpoints: block and Rack.
#### Rack endpoint
The framework is compatible with Rack. Any Rack endpoint, can be passed to the route:
```ruby
get "/", to: MyRackEndpoint.new
```
#### Block endpoint
A block passed to the route definition is named a block endpoint.
The returning value will compose the Rack response. It can be:
##### String (body)
```ruby
get "/" do
"Hello, world"
end
```
It will return `[200, {}, ["Hello, world"]]`
##### Enumerator (body)
```ruby
get "/" do
Enumerator.new { ... }
end
```
It will return `[200, {}, Enumerator]`, see [Streamed Responses](#streamed-responses)
##### Integer (status code)
```ruby
get "/" do
418
end
```
It will return `[418, {}, ["I'm a teapot"]]`
##### Integer, String (status code, body)
```ruby
get "/" do
[401, "You shall not pass"]
end
```
It will return `[401, {}, ["You shall not pass"]]`
##### Integer, Enumerator (status code, body)
```ruby
get "/" do
[401, Enumerator.new { ... }]
end
```
It will return `[401, {}, Enumerator]`, see [Streamed Responses](#streamed-responses)
##### Integer, Hash, String (status code, headers, body)
```ruby
get "/" do
[401, {"X-Custom-Header" => "foo"}, "You shall not pass"]
end
```
It will return `[401, {"X-Custom-Header" => "foo"}, ["You shall not pass"]]`
##### Integer, Hash, Enumerator (status code, headers, body)
```ruby
get "/" do
[401, {"X-Custom-Header" => "foo"}, Enumerator.new { ... }]
end
```
It will return `[401, {"X-Custom-Header" => "foo"}, Enumerator]`, see [Streamed Responses](#streamed-responses)
### Block context
When using the block syntax there is a rich API to use.
#### env
The `#env` method exposes the Rack environment for the current request
#### status
Get HTTP status
```ruby
get "/" do
puts status
# => 200
end
```
Set HTTP status
```ruby
get "/" do
status(201)
end
```
#### headers
Get HTTP response headers
```ruby
get "/" do
puts headers
# => {}
end
```
Set HTTP status
```ruby
get "/" do
headers["X-My-Header"] = "OK"
end
```
#### body
Get HTTP response body
```ruby
get "/" do
puts body
# => nil
end
```
Set HTTP response body
```ruby
get "/" do
body "Hello, world"
end
```
Set HTTP response body using a [Streamed Response](#streamed-responses)
```ruby
get "/" do
body Enumerator.new { ... }
end
```
#### params
Access params for current request
```ruby
get "/" do
id = params[:id]
# ...
end
```
#### halt
Halts the flow of the block and immediately returns with the current HTTP status
```ruby
get "/authenticate" do
halt(401)
# this code will never be reached
end
```
It sets a Rack response: `[401, {}, ["Unauthorized"]]`
```ruby
get "/authenticate" do
halt(401, "You shall not pass")
# this code will never be reached
end
```
It sets a Rack response: `[401, {}, ["You shall not pass"]]`
You can also use a [Streamed Response](#streamed-responses) here
```ruby
get "/authenticate" do
halt(401, Enumerator.new { ... })
end
```
#### redirect
Redirects request and immediately halts it
```ruby
get "/legacy" do
redirect "/dashboard"
# this code will never be reached
end
```
It sets a Rack response: `[301, {"Location" => "/new"}, ["Moved Permanently"]]`
```ruby
get "/legacy" do
redirect "/dashboard", 302
# this code will never be reached
end
```
It sets a Rack response: `[302, {"Location" => "/new"}, ["Moved"]]`
#### back
Utility for redirect back using HTTP request header `HTTP_REFERER`
```ruby
get "/authenticate" do
if authenticate(env)
redirect back
else
# ...
end
end
```
#### json
Sets a JSON response for the given object
```ruby
get "/user/:id" do
user = UserRepository.new.find(params[:id])
json(user)
end
```
```ruby
get "/user/:id" do
user = UserRepository.new.find(params[:id])
json(user, "application/vnd.api+json")
end
```
If you want a [Streamed Response](#streamed-responses)
```ruby
get "/users" do
users = Enumerator.new { ... }
json(users)
end
```
### Scope
Prefixing routes is possible with routing scopes:
```ruby
scope "api" do
scope "v1" do
get "/users", to: Actions::V1::Users::Index.new
end
end
```
It will generate a route with `"/api/v1/users"` as path.
### Helpers
Define helper methods available within the block context.
Helper methods have access to default utilities available in block context (e.g. `#halt`).
Helpers can be defined inline by passing a block to the `.helpers` method:
```ruby
require "hanami/api"
class MyAPI < Hanami::API
helpers do
def redirect_to_root
# redirect method is provided by Hanami::API block context
redirect "/"
end
end
root { "Hello, World" }
get "/legacy" do
redirect_to_root
end
end
```
Alternatively, `.helpers` accepts a module.
```ruby
require "hanami/api"
class MyAPI < Hanami::API
module Authentication
private
def unauthorized
halt(401)
end
end
helpers(Authentication)
root { "Hello, World" }
get "/secrets" do
unauthorized
end
end
```
You can use `.helpers` multiple times in the same app.
### Rack Middleware
To mount a Rack middleware it's possible with `.use`
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
require "bundler/setup"
require "hanami/api"
class App < Hanami::API
use ElapsedTime
scope "api" do
use ApiAuthentication
scope "v1" do
use ApiV1Deprecation
end
scope "v2" do
# ...
end
end
end
```
Middleware are inherited from top level scope.
In the example above, `ElapsedTime` is used for each incoming request because
it's part of the top level scope. `ApiAuthentication` it's used for all the API
versions, because it's defined in the `"api"` scope. `ApiV1Deprecation` is used
only by the routes in `"v1"` scope, but not by `"v2"`.
### Streamed Responses
When the work to be done by the server takes time, it may be a good idea to
stream your response. For this, you just use an `Enumerator` anywhere you would
normally use a `String` as body or another `Object` as JSON response. Here's an
example of streaming JSON data:
```ruby
scope "stream" do
use ::Rack::Chunked
get "/data" do
Enumerator.new do |yielder|
data = %w[a b c]
data.each do |item|
yielder << item
end
end
end
get "/to_enum" do
%w[a b c].to_enum
end
get "/json" do
result = Enumerator.new do |yielder|
data = %w[a b c]
data.each do |item|
yielder << item
end
end
json(result)
end
end
```
Note:
* Returning an `Enumerator` will also work without `Rack::Chunked`, it just
won't stream but return the whole body at the end instead.
* Data pushed to `yielder` MUST be a `String`.
* Streaming does not work with WEBrick as it buffers its response. We recommend
using `puma`, though you may find success with other servers.
* To manual test this feature use a web browser or cURL:
```shell
$ curl --raw -i http://localhost:2300/stream/data
```
### Body Parsers
Rack ignores request bodies unless they come from a form submission.
If you have an endpoint that accepts JSON, the request payload isn’t available in `params`.
In order to parse JSON payload and make it avaliable in `params`, you should add the following lines to `config.ru`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
require "hanami/middleware/body_parser"
use Hanami::Middleware::BodyParser, :json
```
## Testing
## Unit testing
You can unit test your `Hanami::API` app by passing a `env` hash to your app's `#call` method.
The keys that (based on the Rack standard) `Hanami::API` uses for routing are:
* `PATH_INFO`
* `REQUEST_METHOD`
For example, a spec for the basic app in the [Usage section](https://github.com/hanami/api#usage) could be:
```ruby
require "my_project/app"
RSpec.describe App do
describe "#call" do
it "returns successfully" do
response = subject.call({"PATH_INFO" => "/", "REQUEST_METHOD" => "GET"})
expect(response).to eq([200, {}, ["Hello, world"]])
end
end
end
```
## Integration testing
Add this line to your application's `Gemfile`:
```ruby
gem "rack-test", group: :test
```
In a test, load `Rack::Test`:
```ruby
require "rack/test"
```
and then, inside your spec/test, include its helper methods:
```ruby
include Rack::Test::Methods
```
Then you can use its methods like `get` and `last_response`, e.g.:
```ruby
it "returns the status 200" do
get "/"
expect(last_response.status).to eq 200
end
```
## Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
