Documentation

data Method Source

Supported HTTP request methods

Constructors

DocDELETE

the DELETE method

DocGET

the GET method

DocPOST

the POST method

DocPUT

the PUT method

data Endpoint Source

An Endpoint type that holds the path and the method.

Gets used as the key in the API hashmap. Modify defEndpoint or any Endpoint value you want using the path and method lenses to tweak.

λ> defEndpoint
GET /
λ> defEndpoint & path <>~ ["foo"]
GET /foo
λ> defEndpoint & path <>~ ["foo"] & method .~ DocPOST
POST /foo

Constructors

Endpoint 

Fields

_path :: [String]
 
_method :: Method
 

showPath :: [String] -> String Source

Render a path as a /-delimited string

defEndpoint :: Endpoint Source

An Endpoint whose path is `"/"` and whose method is DocGET

Here's how you can modify it:

λ> defEndpoint
GET /
λ> defEndpoint & path <>~ ["foo"]
GET /foo
λ> defEndpoint & path <>~ ["foo"] & method .~ DocPOST
POST /foo

data API Source

Our API documentation type, a product of top-level information and a good old hashmap from Endpoint to Action

emptyAPI :: API Source

An empty API

data DocCapture Source

A type to represent captures. Holds the name of the capture and a description.

Write a ToCapture instance for your captured types.

Constructors

DocCapture 

data DocQueryParam Source

A type to represent a GET parameter from the Query String. Holds its name, the possible values (leave empty if there isn't a finite number of them), and a description of how it influences the output or behavior.

Write a ToParam instance for your GET parameter types

data DocIntro Source

An introductory paragraph for your documentation. You can pass these to docsWithIntros.

Constructors

DocIntro 

Fields

_introTitle :: String

Appears above the intro blob

_introBody :: [String]

Each String is a paragraph.

data DocNote Source

A type to represent extra notes that may be attached to an Action.

This is intended to be used when writing your own HasDocs instances to add extra sections to your endpoint's documentation.

Constructors

DocNote 

newtype ExtraInfo layout Source

Type of extra information that a user may wish to "union" with their documentation.

These are intended to be built using extraInfo. Multiple ExtraInfo may be combined with the monoid instance.

Instances

data ParamKind Source

Type of GET parameter:

  • Normal corresponds to QueryParam, i.e your usual GET parameter
  • List corresponds to QueryParams, i.e GET parameters with multiple values
  • Flag corresponds to QueryFlag, i.e a value-less GET parameter

Constructors

Normal 
List 
Flag 

data Response Source

A type to represent an HTTP response. Has an Int status, a list of possible MediaTypes, and a list of example ByteString response bodies. Tweak defResponse using the respStatus, respTypes and respBody lenses if you want.

If you want to respond with a non-empty response body, you'll most likely want to write a ToSample instance for the type that'll be represented as encoded data in the response.

Can be tweaked with three lenses.

λ> defResponse
Response {_respStatus = 200, _respTypes = [], _respBody = []}
λ> defResponse & respStatus .~ 204 & respBody .~ [("If everything goes well", "{ \"status\": \"ok\" }")]
Response {_respStatus = 204, _respTypes = [], _respBody = [("If everything goes well", "{ \"status\": \"ok\" }")]}

defResponse :: Response Source

Default response: status code 200, no response body.

Can be tweaked with two lenses.

λ> defResponse
Response {_respStatus = 200, _respBody = Nothing}
λ> defResponse & respStatus .~ 204 & respBody .~ Just "[]"
Response {_respStatus = 204, _respBody = Just "[]"}

data Action Source

A datatype that represents everything that can happen at an endpoint, with its lenses:

  • List of captures (captures)
  • List of GET parameters (params)
  • What the request body should look like, if any is requested (rqbody)
  • What the response should be if everything goes well (response)

You can tweak an Action (like the default defAction) with these lenses to transform an action and add some information to it.

combineAction :: Action -> Action -> Action Source

Combine two Actions, we can't make a monoid as merging Response breaks the laws.

As such, we invent a non-commutative, left associative operation combineAction to mush two together taking the response, body and content types from the very left.

single :: Endpoint -> Action -> API Source

Create an API that's comprised of a single endpoint. API is a Monoid, so combine multiple endpoints with mappend or <>.

docs :: HasDocs layout => Proxy layout -> API Source

Generate the docs for a given API that implements HasDocs. This is the default way to create documentation.

type family IsIn endpoint api :: Constraint Source

Closed type family, check if endpoint is exactly within API.

Equations

IsIn e (sa :<|> sb) = Or (IsIn e sa) (IsIn e sb) 
IsIn (e :> sa) (e :> sb) = IsIn sa sb 
IsIn e e = () 

extraInfo :: (IsIn endpoint layout, HasLink endpoint, HasDocs endpoint) => Proxy endpoint -> Action -> ExtraInfo layout Source

Create an ExtraInfo that is garunteed to be within the given API layout.

The safety here is to ensure that you only add custom documentation to an endpoint that actually exists within your API.

extra :: ExtraInfo TestApi
extra =
    extraInfo (Proxy :: Proxy ("greet" :> Capture "greetid" Text :> Delete)) $
             defAction & headers <>~ ["unicorns"]
                       & notes   <>~ [ DocNote "Title" ["This is some text"]
                                     , DocNote "Second secton" ["And some more"]
                                     ]

docsWith :: HasDocs layout => [DocIntro] -> ExtraInfo layout -> Proxy layout -> API Source

Generate documentation given some extra introductions (in the form of DocInfo) and some extra endpoint documentation (in the form of ExtraInfo.

The extra introductions will be prepended to the top of the documentation, before the specific endpoint documentation. The extra endpoint documentation will be "unioned" with the automatically generated endpoint documentation.

You are expected to build up the ExtraInfo with the Monoid instance and extraInfo.

If you only want to add an introduction, use docsWithIntros.

docsWithIntros :: HasDocs layout => [DocIntro] -> Proxy layout -> API Source

Generate the docs for a given API that implements HasDocs with with any number of introduction(s)

class HasDocs layout where Source

The class that abstracts away the impact of API combinators on documentation generation.

Methods

(KnownSymbol sym, ToCapture * (Capture k1 sym a), HasDocs k sublayout) => HasDocs * ((:>) * k (Capture k sym a) sublayout) Source

"books" :> Capture "isbn" Text will appear as books:isbn in the docs.

(KnownSymbol path, HasDocs k sublayout) => HasDocs * ((:>) Symbol k path sublayout) Source 

class ToSample a b | a -> b where Source

The class that lets us display a sample input or output in the supported content-types when generating documentation for endpoints that either:

  • expect a request body, or
  • return a non empty response body

Example of an instance:

{-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-}
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Data.Aeson
import Data.Text
import GHC.Generics

data Greet = Greet { _msg :: Text }
  deriving (Generic, Show)

instance FromJSON Greet
instance ToJSON Greet

instance ToSample Greet Greet where
  toSample _ = Just g

    where g = Greet "Hello, haskeller!"

You can also instantiate this class using toSamples instead of toSample: it lets you specify different responses along with some context (as Text) that explains when you're supposed to get the corresponding response.
