Typed Schema

maven central

Typed schema is an http service definition DSL, currently translating to akka-http Routes and OpenApi 3.0 definition inspired by the haskell-servant library.

Main IDEA

Motivation

We the People building services using modern scala often struggling to satisfy following requirements

  • Service implementation should be checked to be compatible with OpenApi 3.0 specifications at the compile time
  • Service definition should be detachable from the implementation and exportable as mere specification
  • There should be an easy way to migrate all the services to different effect\future\task implementation without changing any definition
  • There should be some way to migrate all the service to another framework without reimplementing them

Simple example

import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.http.scaladsl.Http
import akka.stream.{ActorMaterializer, Materializer}
import io.circe.Printer
import ru.tinkoff.tschema.akkaHttp.MkRoute
import io.circe.syntax._
import ru.tinkoff.tschema.swagger._

object ExampleDefinition {
  import ru.tinkoff.tschema.syntax._
  def api = get |> operation('hello) |> capture[String]('name) |> $$[String]
}

object ExampleSwagger {}

object Example extends App {
  import ExampleDefinition.api
  import akka.http.scaladsl.server.Directives._

  // building service
  object handler {
    def hello(name: String): String = s"Hello, $name"
  }

  val apiRoute = MkRoute(api)(handler)

  //building swagger
  val apiSwagger   = MkSwagger(api)(()).make(OpenApiInfo("example"))
  val printer      = Printer.spaces2.copy(dropNullValues = true)
  val swaggerRoute = path("swagger")(complete(apiSwagger.asJson.pretty(printer)))

  //typical akka http boilerplate
  implicit val system: ActorSystem        = ActorSystem("tschema-example")
  implicit val materializer: Materializer = ActorMaterializer()

  //run the server
  Http().bindAndHandle(apiRoute ~ swaggerRoute, "localhost", 8080)
}

How it works

Definition

Your schemes definitions consist of elements from ru.tinkoff.tschema.syntax._ and maybe custom directives

def api = get |> operation('hello) |> capture[String]('name) |> $$[String]

This may be read as a sequence:

  1. check HTTP method is GET
  2. check path prefix is "hello" and mark the following definition as part of hello operation
  3. capture segment of uri path as name parameter
  4. return String

Your definition could have some branching, a common prefix will be applied as the prefix of all branches. Branching is done with the <> operator:

  def api =
    get |> prefix('greeting) |> capture[String]('name) |> ((
      operation('hello) |> $$[String]
    ) <> (
      operation('aloha) |> queryParam[Int]('age) |> $$[String]
    ))

Note that now you must implement aloha method in your handler or compile error will be raised in the MkRoute application

DSL

All definition elements are functions with almost no implementation, returning types from the ru.tinkoff.tschema.typeDSL._ package, or created by yourself.

Those types are the definition.

All interpreters just traversing the tree type and building construction using information from types only

Type tree will consist of type constructors, subtypes of DSlAtom at it branches, and DSLRes at leafs. Each DSLAtom describes single step like parameter matching, filter or anything you'd like to do inside

Akka http route.

When you are ready to build your source, you now can execute route building. MkRoute(api)(handler) will take the type of api parameter and create corresponding tree. using directive definitions given by implicit instances of:

  • trait Serve.Aux[T, In]{type Out} where:
    • T - your DSLAtom or DSLRes
    • In - input parameters collected by preceding Serve instances and tagged by names
    • Out - parameters, that will be provided for subtree
  • trait ResultIn[In, Res, Out] where:
    • T - your DSLRes
    • Res - result type, returned by corresponding method in handler
    • Out - result type, defined in the API definition

You generally will need following instances:

  • ToResponseMarshaller for returning type of your method
  • FromEntityUnmarshaller for type, used in your body directive
  • FromParam for any type in parameter directives like queryParam

Swagger

When you need to create OpenApi 3.0 object, you can just apply MkSwagger(api)(())

This will create SwaggerBuilder object. These builders could be concatenated with ++ to collect definitions from several modules To successfully run you'll need following implicits:

  • SwaggerTypeable for any mentioned type
  • SwaggerMapper for any custom directive

When you final SwaggerBuilder is ready, apply it's make method supplying some top-level info, this will create OpenApi object that has the circe Encoder instance, which you can serve any way you want.
