SimpleEndpoint

Dry-matcher free implementation of trailblazer endpoint.

Installation

Add this to your Gemfile:

gem 'simple_endpoint', '~> 2.0.0'

Getting Started

Include simple endpoint to your base controller

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include SimpleEndpoint::Controller
end

Define cases to specify trailblazer operation result handling.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include SimpleEndpoint::Controller

  cases do
    match(:success) { |result| result.success? }
    match(:invalid) { |result| result.failure? }
  end
end

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include SimpleEndpoint::Controller

  private

  def default_cases
    {
      success: -> (result) { result.success? },
      invalid: -> (result) { result.failure? }
    }
  end
end

Define handler to specify how to handle each case

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include SimpleEndpoint::Controller

  handler do
    on(:success) { |result, **opts| render json: result['model'], **opts, status: 200 }
    on(:invalid) { |result, **| render json: result['contract.default'].errors, serializer: ErrorSerializer, status: :unprocessable_entity }
  end
end

or default_handler method

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include SimpleEndpoint::Controller

  private

  def default_handler
    {
      success: -> (result, **opts) { render json: result['model'], **opts, status: 200 },
      invalid: -> (result, **) { render json: result['contract.default'].errors, serializer: ErrorSerializer, status: :unprocessable_entity }
    }
  end
end

OperationIsNotHandled error will be raised if cases/#default_cases doesn't contain case for specific operation result.

UnhandledResultError will be raised if handler/#default_hadnler doesn't contain for some cases.

NotImplementedError will be raised if cases/#default_cases or handler/#default_hadnler aren't defined.

#endpoint method

Now you are able to use endpoint method at other controllers

#endpoint method has next signature:

Key	Required	Default value	Description
`:operation`	yes	-	Traiblazer operation class
`:different_cases`	no	{}	Cases that should be redefined for exact `#endpoint` call
`:different_handler`	no	{}	Case of handler that should be handled in different way
`:options`	no	{}	Additional hash which will be merged to `#ednpoint_options` method result before operation execution
`:before_response`	no	{}	Allow to process code before specific case handler
`:renderer_options`	no	{}	Allow to pass serializer options from controller and Will available inside handler as second parameter.

Simple endpoint call

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create
  end
end

Redefining cases for specific controller

If you need to redefine operation result handling for specific controller you can do next

It will redefine or add only these cases

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  cases do
    match(:success) { |result| result.success? && is_it_raining? }
    match(:invalid) { |result| result.failure? && is_vasya_in_the_house? }
  end

  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create
  end

  private

  def is_it_raining?
    WeatherForecast.for_today.raining?
  end

  def is_vasya_in_the_house?
    User.find_by(login: 'vasya').signed_in?
  end
end

If you want to remove parent cases use inherit option It will remove cases and add new ones

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  cases(inherit: false) do
    match(:success) { |result| result.success? && is_it_raining? }
    match(:invalid) { |result| result.failure? && is_vasya_in_the_house? }
  end

  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create
  end

  private

  def is_it_raining?
    WeatherForecast.for_today.raining?
  end

  def is_vasya_in_the_house?
    User.find_by(login: 'vasya').signed_in?
  end
end

or manually create default_cases method. Note that it'll override ApplicationController#default_cases

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create
  end

  private

  def default_cases
    {
      success: -> (result) { result.success? && is_it_raining? },
      invalid: -> (result) { result.failure? && is_vasya_in_the_house? }
      ... # other cases
    }
  end

  def is_it_raining?
    WeatherForecast.for_today.raining?
  end

  def is_vasya_in_the_house?
    User.find_by(login: 'vasya').signed_in?
  end
end

Redefining cases for specific controller action

Code below will redefine only success operation handling logic of cases/#default_cases, it doesn't matter where cases/#default_cases was defined, at ApplicationController or PostsController

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    cases { on(:success) { |result| result.success? && is_vasya_in_the_house? } }
    endpoint operation: Post::Create
  end

  private

  def is_vasya_in_the_house?
    User.find_by(login: 'vasya').signed_in?
  end
end

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    endpoint operation:       Post::Create,
             different_cases: different_cases
  end

  private

  def different_cases
    {
      success: -> (result) { result.success? && is_vasya_in_the_house? }
    }
  end

  def is_vasya_in_the_house?
    User.find_by(login: 'vasya').signed_in?
  end
end

Redefining handler for specific controller

If you need to redefine handler logic, simply redefine handler. It'll redefine only success handler

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  handler do
    on(:success) { |result, **| head :ok }
  end

  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create
  end
end

If you want remove parent handler settings you can use inherit option. It'll remove all other settings.

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  handler(inherit: false) do
    on(:success) { |result, **| head :ok }
  end

  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create
  end
end

or redefine default_handler method

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create
  end

  private

  def default_handler
    {
      success: -> (result, **) { head :ok }
    }
  end
end

Redefining handler for specific controller action

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    handler { on(:success) { |result, **| render json: { message: 'Nice!' }, status: :created } }
    endpoint operation: Post::Create,
             different_handler: different_handler
  end
end

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create,
             different_handler: different_handler
  end

  private

  def different_handler
    {
      success: -> (result, **) { render json: { message: 'Nice!' }, status: :created }
    }
  end
end

Defining default params for trailblazer operation

Default #endpoint_options method implementation

  def endpoint_options
    { params: params }
  end

Redefining endpoint_options It will extend existing options

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  endpoint_options { { params: permitted_params } }

  def permitted_params
    params.permit(:some, :attributes)
  end
end

If you want to remove previously defined options you can use inherit option

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  endpoint_options(inherit: false) { { params: permitted_params } }

  def permitted_params
    params.permit(:some, :attributes)
  end
end

Or redefine endpoint_options method

class PostsController < ApplicationController

  private

  def endpoint_options
    { params: permitted_params }
  end

  def permitted_params
    params.permit(:some, :attributes)
  end
end

Passing additional params to operation

options will be merged with #endpoint_options method result and trailblazer operation will be executed with such params: Post::Create.(params: params, current_user: current_user)

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create,
             options: { current_user: current_user }
  end
end

Before handler actions

You can do some actions before #default_handler execution

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    before_response do
      on(:success) do |result, **|
        response.headers['Some-header'] = result[:some_data]
      end
    end
    endpoint operation: Post::Create
    end
  end
end

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create,
             before_response: before_render_actions
    end
  end

  private

  def before_response_actions
    {
      success: -> (result, **) { response.headers['Some-header'] = result[:some_data] }
    }
  end
end

Code above will put data from operation result into response haeders before render

Pass additional options from controller

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    endpoint operation: Post::Create,
             renderer_options: { serializer: SerializerClass }
    end
  end

  private

  def default_handler
    {
      # renderer_options will be available as **opts
      success: -> (result, **opts) { render json: result['model'], **opts, status: 200 },
      invalid: -> (result, **) { render json: result['contract.default'].errors, serializer: ErrorSerializer, status: :unprocessable_entity }
    }
  end
end

Migration from v1 to v2

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Be cautious while using v2.x.x. We executing blocks and lambdas explicitly on the instance of the class where SimpleEndpoint::Controller module were included. That's related to handler/#default_handler, cases/#default_cases and before_response. If you are creating lambdas or blocks for handler and cases in different class with internal methods usage it won't work unlike the v1 ⚠️⚠️⚠️

class Handler
  def self.call
    { 
      success: ->(result, **) { result.success? && some_method? }
    }
  end

  private

  def some_method?
    true
  end
end

class ApplicationController
  def default_handler
    # works with v1 but will cause an error in v2
    Handler.call
  end
end
