= Capsium
Capsium: Common architecture for portable secure information interchange and
unified management.
Capsium is designed to facilitate the creation, management and deployment of
content packages with ease.
This gem provides a structured way to handle content, data, and metadata for
various applications.
== Testing out how it works
Download the mn-samples-iso built site: https://github.com/metanorma/mn-samples-iso/actions/runs/8862815829/artifacts/1453746303[mn-samples-iso-Linux].
Then run these commands:
[source,bash]
$ unzip mn-samples-iso-Linux.zip
$ cd mn-samples-iso-Linux
$ mkdir content
$ mv index.html documents.xml documents content
$ echo '{"name": "mn-samples-iso","version":"0.1.0"}' > metadata.json
$ cd ..
$ bundle exec capsium package pack -f mn-samples-iso-Linux
Package created: mn-samples-iso-0.1.0.cap
$ bundle exec capsium reactor serve mn-samples-iso-0.1.0.cap

== Installation
To install the Capsium gem, add it to your Gemfile:
[source,ruby]
gem 'capsium'
Then, run the following command to install it:
[source,bash]
bundle install
Alternatively, you can install the gem directly using:
[source,bash]
gem install capsium
== What is a Capsium package?
A Capsium package is a structured collection of content, data, metadata, and routing information. It is designed to encapsulate all resources needed for a particular application or service in a well-organized format. A package typically includes:
- Content: Static files like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Data: Structured data files, such as YAML or JSON.
- Metadata: Descriptive information about the package, such as its name, version, and dependencies.
- Routes: Mapping of URLs to content or data endpoints.
- Storage: Definitions for datasets and their sources, formats, and schemas.
== What is a Capsium reactor?
A Capsium reactor is a runtime environment that serves Capsium packages. It reads the package configuration and starts a server that can handle HTTP requests according to the routes defined in the package. The reactor ensures that the content and data within the package are served correctly, allowing for easy integration and deployment of packaged applications.
== CLI: Package
To pack a package, you need to define the content, data, metadata, routes, and storage configurations. Once defined, you can use the Capsium command-line interface (CLI) to create and manage your packages.
Capsium provides a CLI to help you pack and manage your packages. Here are some common commands:
[source,bash]
TODO: Create a new package
Full command
capsium package new my_package
Shorthand
capsium package my_package
TODO: Add content to the package
capsium package add content example.html example.css example.js
TODO: Add data to the package
capsium package add data animals.yaml
TODO: Add metadata to the package
capsium package add metadata name=sample_package version=0.1.0
TODO: Define routes for the package
capsium package add route /=example.html /index=index.html /api/v1/data/animals={type:dataset,name:animals}
TODO: Define storage for the package
capsium package add storage datasets=[{name:animals,source:data/animals.yaml,format:yaml,schema:data/animals_schema.yaml}]
=== Packing a package
To pack an existing Capsium package directory, use the following command:
[source,bash]
capsium package pack [--force/-f] path-to-package
This command will pack your package into a single file with the
filename:
{package-name}-{package-version}.cap
- where the name and version both come from
{package-path}/metadata.json
.Sample pack
command
[source,bash]
capsium package pack -f spec/fixtures/bare_package
====
== CLI: Reactor
=== Starting a reactor on your package
To start a Capsium reactor on your package, use the following command:
[source,bash]
capsium reactor serve my_package.cap
== Programmatically managing packages
You can also create, load, and use packages programmatically within your Ruby application.
=== Creating packages
[source,ruby]
require 'capsium'
package = Capsium::Package.new(
name: 'sample_package',
version: '0.1.0',
content: {
'example.html' => 'text/html',
'example.css' => 'text/css',
'example.js' => 'application/javascript'
},
data: {
'animals.yaml' => {
'animals' => [
{ 'name' => 'Lion', 'type' => 'Mammal', 'habitat' => 'Savannah' },
{ 'name' => 'Eagle', 'type' => 'Bird', 'habitat' => 'Mountains' },
{ 'name' => 'Shark', 'type' => 'Fish', 'habitat' => 'Ocean' }
]
}
},
metadata: {
'name' => 'sample_package',
'version' => '0.1.0',
'dependencies' => []
},
routes: {
'/' => 'example.html',
'/index' => 'index.html',
'/index.html' => 'index.html',
'/example.css' => 'example.css',
'/example.js' => 'example.js',
'/api/v1/data/animals' => { 'type' => 'dataset', 'name' => 'animals' }
},
storage: {
'datasets' => [
{
'name' => 'animals',
'source' => 'data/animals.yaml',
'format' => 'yaml',
'schema' => 'data/animals_schema.yaml'
}
]
}
)
Save the package to a file
File.write('my_package.json', package.to_json(pretty: true))
=== Loading packages
To load an existing package from a JSON file, you can use the Capsium::Package.new(path)
method:
[source,ruby]
require 'capsium'
Read the package file or folder
package = Capsium::Package.new(path)
Inspect the loaded package
puts package.inspect
=== Using packages in your program
Once you have created or loaded a package, you can use it within your Ruby application to access its content, data, and other properties.
[source,ruby]
Accessing package metadata
puts "Package Name: #{package.metadata['name']}"
puts "Package Version: #{package.metadata['version']}"
Accessing content
package.content.each do |filename, content_type|
puts "Content File: #{filename}, Content Type: #{content_type}"
end
Accessing data
animals_data = package.data['animals.yaml']
puts "Animals Data: #{animals_data.inspect}"
Accessing routes
package.routes.each do |route, destination|
puts "Route: #{route}, Destination: #{destination}"
end
Accessing storage definitions
package.storage['datasets'].each do |dataset|
puts "Dataset Name: #{dataset['name']}, Source: #{dataset['source']}, Format: #{dataset['format']}"
end
