koine-rest_client

Koine::RestClient

Another http client with async

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'koine-rest_client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install koine-rest_client

Usage

# default configuration for every request
request = Koine::RestClient::Request.new(
  base_url: 'http://some.endpoint.com/rest',
  query_params: { auth_token: 'the-auth-token' },
  headers: { 'X-Client' => 'The Collest Client' }
)
client = Koine::RestClient::Client.new(base_request: request)
json_response = client.get('foo/bar')

json_response = client.post(
  'foo/bar',
  campaign_data,
  query_params: { auth_token: 'other_rid' } # other auth_token
)

# or throw on non 200

json_response = client.post(
  'foo/bar',
  campaign_data,
  query_params: { auth_token: nil } # remove auth_token param
)

If you care for the response details:

json_response = client.get('foo/bar') do |response|
  if response.code == 1
    raise 'what, really?'
  end
end

Async calls

data = client.async do |builder|
  builder.get('foo', rid: 'bar') do |response|
  builder.get('bar') do |response|
    Rails.logger.log(response)
  end

  builder.post('baz', { payload: :value })

  # optional. Raise error if ommited
  builder.on_error do |exception|
    # ignore
  end
end

data[0] # foo response
data[1] # bar response
data[2] # baz response

Mocking in rspec

require 'koine/rest_client/rspec_mock_client'

let(:mock_client) { Koine::RestClient::RspecMockClient.new(spec) }

client.mock do |mocker|
  mocker.get('foo').will_return(body: { foo: :bar })
  mocker.put('bar', baz: :foo).will_return(body: { baz: :bar })
  mocker.delete('error').will_return(code: 400, body: { message: :oops })
end

# or with custom response use the block

client.mock do |mocker|
  mocker.get('foo').will_return(body: 'parsed-body') do |response|
    double(code: 200, parsed_response: "the #{response.parsed_response}")
  end
end

Mocking a server

Start the server

./bin/mock_server

request = Koine::RestClient::Request.new(
  base_url: 'http://localhost:4321/something',
  query_params: { rid: 'internal' },
  headers: { 'X-Foo-Bar' => 'foo-bar' }
)
client = Koine::RestClient::Client.new(base_request: request)

client.get('foo') # check the response
