NAME
Dancer::Plugin::Tapir - Associate a Tapir handler with Dancer routes
SYNOPSIS
use Dancer;
use Dancer::Plugin::Tapir;
setup_tapir_handler
thrift_idl => 'thrift/service.thrift',
handler_class => 'MyAPI::Service';
DESCRIPTION
The goal of this package is to quickly and without fuss expose a Tapir
service via Dancer via a RESTful API. Doing so requires no additional
coding, and only requires a simple comment added to your Thrift methods.
This plugin exports the method "setup_tapir_handler" into the caller.
Call it with either a list of arguments or using your Dancer
configuration (see below).
The handler class must be a subclass of Tapir::Server::Handler::Class
and have registered methods for each Thrift method of the Thrift
service.
The Dancer routes that will be exposed match up with the @rest Thrift
documentation tag. For example:
/*
Create a new account
@rest POST /accounts
*/
account createAccount (
1: username username,
2: string password
)
This will create a route "POST /accounts" which will call the method
"createAccount" in the handler class. The Dancer method "params" will be
used to extract both query string and payload parameters, and will be
used to compose the thrift message passed to the Tapir::Server::Handler.
Control over the HTTP status code returned to the user is still being
worked out, as are being able to set headers in the HTTP response. At
the moment, the result is serialized via JSON but will in the future be
serialized according to the Accept headers of the request.
