shelf_rest_core

A concise core shelf for creating monolithic dart API's based on shelf

Installing

You must stick to dependencies for this package: 
build_runner  & shelf_router_generator

How to use

For example, let's assume an XEntity that is stored in a MockDatabase, added via XController post , and retrieved via a getOne,
both methods are called XService to perform these actions to the database

Creating a controller

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:shelf/shelf.dart';
import 'package:shelf_rest_core/shelf_rest_core.dart';
import 'package:shelf_router/shelf_router.dart';

import 'shelf_rest_core_example.dart';


part 'x.controller.g.dart';
class XController extends Controller<XService> {
  XController({
    required Router router,
    required XService service,
  }) : super(
    path: '/x/',
    router: router,
    service: service,
  );

  @Route.post('/')
  FutureOr<Response> add(Request request) async {
    return service.add(request);
  }


  @Route.get('/<id>')
  FutureOr<Response> getOne(Request request, String id) async {
    final convertedId = int.parse(id);
    return service.findOne(request, convertedId);
  }

  @override
  Router get router => _$XControllerRouter(this);
}

Make sure that after your controller created you run the command to generate the code present in x.controller.g.dart (In other words, the _$XControllerRouter class)

dart pub run build_runner build

You may have noticed that we have extended the Controller class ( which requires us to implement the get router method )
and that we pass it in its XService generic argument, this is so that our constructor 
can receive the data to be able to inject this data into our XModule

Creating a Service

class XService extends Service {
  final XMockDatabase database;

  XService({required this.database})
      : super(
          flowController: FlowManager.DEFAULT,
          converters: GlobalConverters.I.to({XEntity}),
        );

  FutureOr<Response> add(Request request) async {
    return flowController(
        request: request,
        normalExecutionFlow: (request) async {
          final converter = getConverter<XEntity>();
          final xEntity = await converter.body(request);
          final toSaveEntity = xEntity;
          final savedEntity = database.add(toSaveEntity);
          final response = converter.ok(savedEntity);
          return response;
        });
  }

  FutureOr<Response> findOne(Request request, int id) async {
    return flowController(
        request: request,
        normalExecutionFlow: (request) async {
          final converter = getConverter<XEntity>();
          final foundedEntity = await database.findOne(id);
          return converter.ok(foundedEntity);
        });
  }
}

Creating database

class XMockDatabase {
  final Set<XEntity> entities = {};

  FutureOr<XEntity> add(XEntity entity) async {
    entities.add(entity);
    return entity;
  }

  FutureOr<XEntity> findOne(int id) async {
    return entities.singleWhere((element) => element.id == id);
  }
}

Creating XEntity

class XEntity extends IConvertToJson {
  final int id;

  const XEntity(this.id);

  @override
  FutureOr<Map<String, dynamic>> toJson() {
    return {'id': id};
  }
}

class XFactory extends IFactoryObjectFromJson<XEntity> {
  @override
  FutureOr<XEntity> fromJson(FutureOr<Map<String, dynamic>> json) async {
    final jsonEntity = await json;
    return XEntity(jsonEntity['id']);
  }
}

Creating Module

class XModule extends ShelfModule {
  XModule(Router router)
      : super(
          controllers: {
            (router, dependencyManager) => XController(
                  router: router,
                  service: dependencyManager.get<XService>(),
                )
          },
          providers: {
            XMockDatabase: (_) => XMockDatabase(),
            XService: (dependencyManager) =>
                XService(database: dependencyManager.get<XMockDatabase>())
          },
          router: router,
        );
}

Create App

void main() async {
  final server = ShelfServer(
    (router) => ShelfApp(
      {XModule(router)},
    ),
    configSingletons: () async {
      GlobalConverters.I.add(
        {
          XEntity: ShelfRequestResponse2JsonUtility<XEntity>(
            XFactory(),
          ),
        },
      );
    },
  );

  await server.start(address: 'localhost', port: 8080);
}
