Rough

Rough is RPC for Rails.

Usage

Using Rough is very simple. All you need to do is add rpc to config/routes.rb like so:

get '/something' => 'something#index', rpc: 'Something::SomethingService#list'

and have ApplicationController (or a subset of your controllers) include Rough::BaseController.

In your controllers, you'll then have access to the request and response protos, and they'll automatically be serialized/de-serialized to JSON or RPC, keeping things nice and consistent:

class Something
  def index
    response_proto.name = [request_proto.first_name, request_proto.last_name].join(' ')
  end
end

What happens

By doing that, your routes will be accessible over RPC, and also via traditional HTTP (as defined in the normal routes syntax).

HTTP:

GET /something?param=one
RESPONSE JSON: { "some": "output" }

RPC via connector:

POST /services/something.SomethingService/List
REQUEST PROTO: SomethingReqest.new(param: 'one')
RESPONSE PROTO: SomethingResponse.new(some: 'output')

Warming Cache

Some applications may choose to warm the route cache on startup. To do so:

Rough::RouteRegistry.warm!

Running Specs

rake

Releasing

rake release

This will run the tests, build the gem, tag and release the current code, at the version specified in Rough::VERSION.
