# Override
Convex is an elegant tool based on [Retrofit](https://github.com/square/retrofit)
to help developers just focus on business data.

With the ability of Convex you can process different **BaseResponse** simply
and uniformly.

# Background
Lots of Restful APIs' responses are designed as following :

```json
{
"code" : 0,
"message" : "",
"data" : {}
}
```

or

```json
{
"status" : 0,
"message" : "",
"data" : {}
}
```

and so on.

So when developers use **Retrofit**, they have to design a **BaseResponse**
as following :

```kotlin
data class BaseResponse(
@SerializedName("code")
val code : Int = 0,
@SerializedName("message")
val message : String?,
@SerializedName("data")
val data : T?
)
```

And when define a service method they need to wrap business data with
**BaseReponse** as following :

```kotlin
interface UserService {
@GET("/users")
suspend fun getAllUsers() : BaseResponse>
}
```

# Thoughts

Handing **BaseResponse** is really boring and repetitive.😖

Is there a way to just handle **BaseResponse** only once?🤔

Is there a way to remove the business data wraper **BaseResponse**?🤔

So **Convex** comes out.🎉 🎉 🎉

# How to use

For more details, please see the [ConvexTest](https://github.com/ParadiseHell/convex/blob/main/convex/src/test/kotlin/org/paradisehell/convex/ConvexTest.kt) or the [Android-Project](https://github.com/ParadiseHell/convex/blob/main/app/src/main/java/org/paradisehell/convex/MainActivity.kt).

### Grab Convex from Maven Central

In your build.gradle :

```gradle
dependencies {
implementation "org.paradisehell.convex:convex:1.0.0"
}
```

### Implement a ConvexTansformer

```kotlin
private class UserConvexTransformer : ConvexTransformer {
@Throws(IOException::class)
override fun transform(original: InputStream): InputStream {
TODO("Return the business data InputStream.")
}
}
```

### Add ConvexConverterFactory to Retrofit

```kotlin
Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("https://users.com/")
// add ConvexConverterFactory first !!!
.addConverterFactory(ConvexConverterFactory())
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build()
```

### Define service method with `Transformer` annotation

```kotlin
interface UserService {
@GET("/users")
@Transformer(UserConvexTransformer::class)
suspend fun getAllUsers() : List // No BaseResponse is needed anymore.👻👻👻
}
```

**That's All, enjoy yourself with Convex.**

# More convenience usage

As you can see below, every service's method need to annotation with `Transformer`,
which is boring and repetitive. So `Convex` provide a plugin called `convex-booster`
to automatic to do this work.

### Add `booster-gradle-plugin` and `convex-booster` to classpath

In your root `build.gradle`

```gradle
buildscript {
dependencies {
// booster
classpath "com.didiglobal.booster:booster-gradle-plugin:3.3.1"
// convex-booster
classpath "org.paradisehell.convex:convex-booster:1.0.0"
}
}
```

### Apply booster plugin

In your app `build.gradle`
```
plugins {
id 'com.didiglobal.booster'
}
```

or

```
apply plugin: "com.didiglobal.booster"
```

### Define service with `Transformer` annotation

```kotlin
@Transformer(UserConvexTransformer::class)
interface UserService {
@GET("/users")
suspend fun getAllUsers() : List // No BaseResponse is needed anymore.👻👻👻
}
```

If you do not want `ConvexTransformer` to work with some service methods, you
can use `DisableTransformer` annotation with these method as following.

```kotlin
@Transformer(UserConvexTransformer::class)
interface UserService {
@GET("/users")
@DisableTransformer // Convex will ignore UserConvexTransformer
suspend fun getAllUsers() : BaseResponse>
}
```
