Wrapi is a framework that gives structure and uniformity to the writing of REST API wrappers. Rather than having to define your own client, create deserialization objects, manually manage headers, paginate responses, etc. etc. you can instead extend Wrapi and make your developent process faster, your code cleaner, and yourself happier.

Keep in mind that none of the documented features work yet. This is a work in progress.

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     wrapi:
       github: watzon/wrapi

2. Run shards install

Shards will place a wrapi executable in your bin directory which can be used to scaffold a project and generate useful boilerplate code.

The CLI is the easiest way to generate the boilerplate code for a new project. To run it, make sure you've run shards install and then run the wrapi executable in the bin directory.

./bin/wrapi init

The init command will generate a configuration file for you at src/wrapi_config.cr.

Wrapi::Settings.configure do |config|

  # Set the User-Agent header  
  config.user_agent = "Wrapi (crystal lib) - #{Wrapi::VERSION}"

  # Headers can also be set manually. These will be merged with other
  # options that change headers, with these values taing presidence.
  config.headers = {"Accept" => "application/vnd.github.v3+json"}

  config.add_endpoint :default, root: "https://api.github.com"

end
