# Crepe [![Build Status][1]][2] [![Code Climate][3]][4]



Crepe is a lightweight API framework designed to help you write clean, fast web

services in Ruby. With an elegant and intuitive DSL inspired by RSpec, and with

a nod to Grape, Crepe makes API design simple.

## Installation



In your application's Gemfile:



```ruby

gem 'crepe', github: 'crepe/crepe'

```



If you're coming from Rails and/or you want a Crepe application with a

thought-out file structure, you can use [creperie][creperie] to generate a new

API:



```bash

$ gem install creperie --pre

$ crepe new my_api

```

## Usage



Crepe APIs are, at their core, Rack applications. They can be created by

subclassing `Crepe::API`. To detail Crepe's major features, we'll show how

[GitHub's Gist API][gist-api] could be written using Crepe:



[gist-api]: https://developer.github.com/v3/gists/



```ruby

# config.ru

require 'bundler/setup'

require 'crepe'



module Gist

  class API < Crepe::API

    # Like `let` in RSpec, this defines a lazy-loading helper.

    let(:current_user) { User.authorize!(request.headers['Authorization']) }



    namespace :gists do

      let(:gist_params) { params.slice(:files, :description, :public) }



      get do

        begin

          current_user.gists.limit(30)

        rescue User::Unauthorized

          Gist.limit(30)

        end

      end



      post { Gist.create(gist_params) }



      get(:public) { Gist.limit(30) }



      get(:starred) { current_user.starred_gists }



      # Specify a parameter as part of the namespace: /gists/:id/...

      param :id do

        let(:gist) { Gist.find(params[:id]) }



        get    { gist }

        put    { gist.update_attributes(gist_params) }

        patch  { gist.update_attributes(gist_params) }

        delete do

          if gist.user == current_user

            gist.destroy and head :no_content

          else

            error! :unauthorized

          end

        end



        # Specify a parameter constraint, e.g. a 40-character hex string

        param(sha: /\h{40}/) { gist.revisions.find(params[:sha]) }

        get(:commits) { gist.commits.limit(30) }



        get :star do

          if current_user.starred?(gist)

            head :no_content

          else

            head :not_found

          end

        end

        put(:star)    { current_user.star(gist) }

        delete(:star) { current_user.unstar(gist) }



        get(:forks)  { gist.forks.limit(30) }

        post(:forks) { current_user.fork(gist) }

      end

    end



    rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound do |e|

      error! :not_found, e.message

    end



    rescue_from ActiveRecord::InvalidRecord do |e|

      error! :unprocessable_entity, e.message, errors: e.record.errors

    end



    rescue_from User::Unauthorized do |e|

      unauthorized! realm: 'Gist API'

    end

  end

end



run Gist::API

```



The above example will give you a Rack application that you can run with the

`rackup` command, responding to the following routes:



```

GET    /gists

POST   /gists

GET    /gists/public

GET    /gists/starred

GET    /gists/:id

PUT    /gists/:id

PATCH  /gists/:id

DELETE /gists/:id

GET    /gists/:id/:sha

GET    /gists/:id/commits

GET    /gists/:id/star

PUT    /gists/:id/star

DELETE /gists/:id/star

GET    /gists/:id/forks

POST   /gists/:id/forks

```



## Advanced usage



The above example only skims the surface of what Crepe can do. For more
