Modular web framework for Elixir
Please note that ecto and postgrex have been removed from Sugar's dependencies as of version 0.5.0. If your application uses Ecto, you'll need to add it to your application's mix.exs, like so:
def project do
[ app: :my_app,
# ...
deps: deps() ]
end
def deps do
[ {:sugar, "~> 0.5.0"},
{:ecto, "~> 2.1"},
{:postgrex, "~> 0.13.0"} ]
end- Speed. Sugar shouldn't be slow and neither should your project.
- Ease. Sugar should be simple because simple is easy to learn, use and maintain.
- Effective. Sugar should aid development. You have better things to which to devote your time.
Why build this when Dynamo, Weber, and Phoenix exist with growing communities? While these projects are great in their own right, Sugar aims to be another contender, sparking more development on all three projects (and/or others that may follow) and giving developers another option when deciding what framework fits their needs best. Sugar may even strive to shake things up just as ChicagoBoss has done.

Sugar needs to be configured in your application's config/config.exs in order to work. The following options are supported:
Tells Sugar which module to use as a router. This module should implement Sugar.Router, and should have at least one route defined. This is required.
Tells Sugar which web server to use to handle HTTP(S) requests. Cowboy is currently the only supported option, and Sugar will default to using Plug.Adapters.Cowboy if this is omitted.
Tells Sugar how the specified router should be configured. The following options are supported:
http: takes a key/value list with options to configure the specified:plug_adapter. Of particular usefulness:ip: IP address the server should bind to. Should be a tuple in the format{x,y,z,w}. Defaults to accepting connections on any IP address.port: port the server should listen on. Defaults to 4000.acceptors: the number of acceptors for the listener. Defaults to 100.max_connections: the maximum number of connections supported. Defaults to:infinity.compress: whether or not the bodies of responses should be compressed. Defaults tofalse.
https: takes a key/value list with the same options ashttp, or can be set tofalseif you don't want to enable HTTPS. The following additional options(along with others from Erlang's "ssl" module) are supported:password: a plaintext, secret password for the private SSL key (if it's password-protected)keyfile: path to the PEM-format private key file to usecertfile: path to the PEM-format certificate to useotp_app- If present,certfileandkeyfilecan be relative paths with respect tootp_app'sprivdirectory.
Note: Create a self-signed certificate for easy HTTPS testing.
# Generate a keyfile $ openssl genrsa -out key.pem 2048 # Create a CSR $ openssl req -new -key key.pem -out request.pem # Generate a certfile that expires in $NUM_DAYS $ openssl x509 -req -days $NUM_DAYS -in request.pem -signkey key.pem -out cert.pem
use Mix.Config
config :sugar, router: MyWebsite.Router
config :sugar, MyWebsite.Router,
http: [
port: 80
],
https: [
port: 443,
password: "OMG_SUPER_SECRET",
keyfile: "/path/to/key.pem",
certfile: "/path/to/cert.pem"
]Because Sugar builds upon Plug, it leverages Plug.Router to do the heavy lifting in routing your application, adding an alternate DSL.
Routes are defined with the form:
method route [guard], controller, action
method is get, post, put, patch, delete, or options, each responsible for a single HTTP method. method can also be any, which will match on all HTTP methods. controller is any valid Elixir module name, and action is any valid function defined in the controller module.
defmodule MyWebsite.Router do
use Sugar.Router
get "/", Hello, :index
get "/pages/:id", Hello, :show
post "/pages", Hello, :create
put "/pages/:id" when id == 1, Hello, :show
endAll controller actions should have an arrity of 2, with the first argument being a Plug.Conn representing the current connection and the second argument being a Keyword list of any parameters captured in the route path.
Sugar bundles these response helpers to assist in sending a response:
render/2- sends a normal responsenot_found/1- sends a 404 (Not found) response
defmodule MyWebsite.Controllers.Hello do
use Sugar.Controller
def index(conn, []) do
render conn, "index.html.eex", []
end
def show(conn, args) do
render conn, "show.html.eex", args
end
def create(conn, []) do
render conn, "create.html.eex", []
end
end- basic authentication (?)
