Amethyst is a web framework written in the Crystal language. The goals of Amethyst are to be extremely fast and to provide agility in application development, much like Rails. Why did I call it "Amethyst"? Because Github uses a light purple color for the Crystal language similar to the amethyst gemstone.
Latest version - 0.1.7 Note that Amethyst is at it early stages, so it lacks for whole bunch of things. But you can give a hand with contributing.
For detailed information, see docs on our wiki below:
Here are some benchmarking results
For now, next things are implemented:
- class-based controllers with method-based actions
- views for actions (*.ecr)
- filters for action
- middleware support
- simple REST routing
- default routes for controller
- path, GET and POST params inside actions
- basic cookies support
- static files serving
- http logger and timer for developers
- simple environments support
- simple session support
Here is classic 'Hello World' in Amethyst
require "amethyst"
class WorldController < Base::Controller
actions :hello
view "hello", "#{__DIR__}/views"
def hello
@name = "World"
respond_to do |format|
format.html { render "hello" }
end
end
end
class HelloWorldApp < Base::App
routes.draw do
all "/", "world#hello"
get "/hello", "world#hello"
register WorldController
end
end
app = HelloWorldApp.new
app.serve
# /views/hello.ecr
Hello, <%= name %>
amethyst-bin is an executable shell script to help you quickly generate your Amethyst application.
It handles installing the base dependencies, views / controllers folder generation and main application file generation.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sdogruyol/amethyst-bin/master/amethyst > amethyst && chmod +x amethyst
./amethyst sample
Voila! Your app is ready now you can run it
cd sample && crystal run src/sample.cr
