This is the project where initial ideas behind dry-system, dry-view and dry-transaction have been tested out. Eventually, this repo was moved to dry-rb/dry-web and dry-rb/dry-web-roda was extracted from it to provide Roda support. I've re-pushed this repo for sentimental/historical reasons.

Rodakase is a lightweight web stack on top of Roda which gives you a foundation for building robust web applications while decoupling your application code from the framework.

There are a couple of core concepts in Rodakase which makes it stand out from the crowd:

• Container-based architecture where your application dependencies are accessible through a simple IoC container
• Promotes simple, side-effect-less, functional objects with a built-in auto-injection mechanism making it trivial to compose objects
• Roda routing is decoupled from core application logic and focuses purely on http-related concerns (status codes, session, cookies etc.)
• Rendering is decoupled too, roda routing simply gets response body from your objects
• Request processing and response construction in functional style as a series of simple "function" calls
• Extreme focus on proper code organization and reusability, functionality of your application should be easily accessible using clear APIs
• Uses ROM by default for persistence

Rodakase says NO to the following concepts:

• monkey-patching
• mutable global state
• hot-code reloading in dev mode leading to additional complexity, nasty gotchas and silly constraints with regards to code organization
• implicit dependency handling through magical const-loading mechanisms
• tight coupling between web application logic and core domain logic
• tight coupling between persistence logic and core domain logic

A sample rodakase-based web app is right here.

Rodakase is based on a bunch of awesome libraries:

• roda
• roda-flow
• dry-container
• dry-auto_inject
• tilt
• transflow (later replaced by dry-transaction)

See LICENSE.txt file.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rodakase'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rodakase

To run the specs make sure the dummy app uses proper db configuration spec/dummy/config/application.yml. Also you need to run the migrations, do following:

  $ cd spec/dummy
  $ bundle install
  $ rake db:migrate

After that you can run the specs from rodakase root:

  $ bundle exec rspec
