Usage

Create config.ru at the root of your project:

# 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)
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:

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)
get "/" do
  "Hello, world"
end

It will return [200, {}, ["Hello, world"]]

Enumerator (body)
get "/" do
  Enumerator.new { ... }
end

It will return [200, {}, Enumerator], see Streamed Responses

Integer (status code)
get "/" do
  418
end

It will return [418, {}, ["I'm a teapot"]]

Integer, String (status code, body)
get "/" do
  [401, "You shall not pass"]
end

It will return [401, {}, ["You shall not pass"]]

Integer, Enumerator (status code, body)
get "/" do
  [401, Enumerator.new { ... }]
end

It will return [401, {}, Enumerator], see Streamed Responses

Integer, Hash, String (status code, headers, body)
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)
get "/" do
  [401, {"X-Custom-Header" => "foo"}, Enumerator.new { ... }]
end

It will return [401, {"X-Custom-Header" => "foo"}, Enumerator], see 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

get "/" do
  puts status
    # => 200
end

Set HTTP status

get "/" do
  status(201)
end

headers

Get HTTP response headers

get "/" do
  puts headers
    # => {}
end

Set HTTP status

get "/" do
  headers["X-My-Header"] = "OK"
end

body

Get HTTP response body

get "/" do
  puts body
    # => nil
end

Set HTTP response body

get "/" do
  body "Hello, world"
end

Set HTTP response body using a Streamed Response

get "/" do
  body Enumerator.new { ... }
end

params

Access params for current request

get "/" do
  id = params[:id]
  # ...
end

halt

Halts the flow of the block and immediately returns with the current HTTP status

get "/authenticate" do
  halt(401)

  # this code will never be reached
end

It sets a Rack response: [401, {}, ["Unauthorized"]]

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 here

get "/authenticate" do
  halt(401, Enumerator.new { ... })
end

redirect

Redirects request and immediately halts it

get "/legacy" do
  redirect "/dashboard"

  # this code will never be reached
end

It sets a Rack response: [301, {"Location" => "/new"}, ["Moved Permanently"]]

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

get "/authenticate" do
  if authenticate(env)
    redirect back
  else
    # ...
  end
end

json

Sets a JSON response for the given object

get "/user/:id" do
  user = UserRepository.new.find(params[:id])
  json(user)
end
get "/user/:id" do
  user = UserRepository.new.find(params[:id])
  json(user, "application/vnd.api+json")
end

If you want a Streamed Response

get "/users" do
  users = Enumerator.new { ... }
  json(users)
end

Scope

Prefixing routes is possible with routing scopes:

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:

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.

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

# 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:

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:
$ 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 isnโ€™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:

# 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 could be:

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:

gem "rack-test", group: :test

In a test, load Rack::Test:

require "rack/test"

and then, inside your spec/test, include its helper methods:

include Rack::Test::Methods

Then you can use its methods like get and last_response, e.g.:

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.
