Nothing is stable! Try it out with caution

Simple boilerplate killer using Plug and Bandit inspired by Sinatra for Ruby

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding francis to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:


def deps do
  [
    {:francis, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Example

defmodule Example do
  use Francis

  get("/", fn _ -> "<html>world</html>" end)
  get("/:name", fn %{params: %{"name" => name}} -> "hello #{name}" end)

  ws("ws", fn "ping" -> "pong" end)

  unmatched(fn _ -> "not found" end)
end

Example with Plugs

With the plugs option you are able to apply a list of plugs that happen between before dispatching the request.

# Example with Basic authentication enabled
defmodule Example do
  import Plug.BasicAuth

  use Francis, plugs: [{:basic_auth, username: "test", password: "test"}]

  get("/", fn _ -> "<html>world</html>" end)
  get("/:name", fn %{params: %{"name" => name}} -> "hello #{name}" end)

  ws("ws", fn "ping" -> "pong" end)

  unmatched(fn _ -> "not found" end)
end

Example using it with Mix.install

  # create a new file called server.ex
  Mix.install([:francis])

  defmodule Example do
    use Francis

    get("/", fn _ -> "<html>world</html>" end)
    get("/:name", fn %{params: %{"name" => name}} -> "hello #{name}" end)

    ws("ws", fn "ping" -> "pong" end)

    unmatched(fn _ -> "not found" end)

    def start(_, _) do
      children = [{Bandit, [plug: __MODULE__]}]
      Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
    end
  end

  Example.start(nil, nil)
  Process.sleep(:infinity)
  # run this file with elixir server.ex
