Instance Method Details

#adapter(options) ⇒ Object #adapter ⇒ Hash

Adapter configuration. The application will instantiate adapter instance based on this configuration.

The given options must have key pairs :type and :uri If it isn’t, at the runtime the framework will raise a ‘ArgumentError`.

This is part of a DSL, for this reason when this method is called with an argument, it will set the corresponding instance variable. When called without, it will return the already set value, or the default.

Examples:

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      adapter type: :sql, uri: 'sqlite3://uri'
    end
  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.adapter
  # => {type: :sql, uri: 'sqlite3://uri'}

Overloads:

  • #adapter(options) ⇒ Object

    Sets the given type and uri

    Parameters:

    • options (Hash) —

      a set of options for adapter

  • #adapter ⇒ Hash

    Gets the value

    Returns:

    • (Hash) —

      adapter options

end

#assets ⇒ Lotus::Config::Assets

The application will serve the static assets under these directories.

By default it’s equal to the ‘public/` directory under the application `root`.

Otherwise, you can add differents relatives paths under ‘root`.

Examples:

Getting the value

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.assets
  # => #<Pathname:/root/path/public>

Adding new assets paths

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      serve_assets true
      assets << [
        'vendor/assets'
      ]
    end
  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.assets
  # => #<Lotus::Config::Assets @root=#<Pathname:/root/path/assets>, @paths=["public"]>

#controller ⇒ Lotus::Config::FrameworkConfiguration

It lazily collects all the low level settings for Lotus::Controller’s configuration and applies them when the application is loaded.

NOTE: This forwards all the configurations to Lotus::Controller, without checking them. Before to use this feature, please have a look at the current Lotus::Controller version installed.

NOTE: This may override some configurations of your application.

Examples:

Define a setting

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      controller.default_format :json
    end
  end
end

Override a setting

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      handle_exceptions            false
      controller.handle_exceptions true

#controller_pattern(value) ⇒ Object #controller_pattern ⇒ String

Defines a relative pattern to find controllers.

Lotus supports multiple architectures (aka application structures), this setting helps to understand the namespace where to find applications’ controllers and actions.

By default this equals to ‘“Controllers::%#controller::%action”` That means controllers must be structured like this: `Bookshelf::Controllers::Dashboard::Index`, where `Bookshelf` is the application module, `Controllers` is the first value specified in the pattern, `Dashboard` the controller and `Index` the action.

This pattern MUST always contain ‘“%#controller”` and `%action`. This pattern SHOULD be used accordingly to `#view_pattern` value.

This is part of a DSL, for this reason when this method is called with an argument, it will set the corresponding instance variable. When called without, it will return the already set value, or the default.

Examples:

Getting the value

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      routes do
        get '/', to: 'dashboard#index'
      end
    end
  end

      action 'Index' do
        def call(params)
          # ...
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.controller_pattern
  # => "Controllers::%{controller}::%{action}"

# All the controllers MUST live under Bookshelf::Controllers

# GET '/' # => Bookshelf::Controllers::Dashboard::Index

Setting the value

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      controller_pattern "%{controller}Controller::%{action}"

      routes do
        get '/', to: 'dashboard#index'

  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.controller_pattern
  # => "%{controller}Controller::%{action}"

# All the controllers are directly under the Bookshelf module

# GET '/' # => Bookshelf::DashboardController::Index

Setting the value for a top level name structure

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      namespace Object
      controller_pattern "%{controller}Controller::%{action}"

      routes do

#handle_exceptions(value) ⇒ Object #handle_exceptions ⇒ TrueClass, FalseClass

Decide if handle exceptions with an HTTP status or let them uncaught

If this value is set to ‘true`, the configured exceptions will return the specified HTTP status, the rest of them with `500`.

If this value is set to ‘false`, the exceptions won’t be caught.

This is part of a DSL, for this reason when this method is called with an argument, it will set the corresponding instance variable. When called without, it will return the already set value, or the default.

Examples:

#namespace(value) ⇒ Object #namespace ⇒ Class, Module

The application namespace

By default it returns the Ruby namespace of the application. For instance for an application ‘Bookshelf::Application`, it returns `Bookshelf`.

This value isn’t set at the init time, but when the configuration is loaded with ‘#load!`.

Lotus applications are namespaced: all the controllers and views live under the application module, without polluting the global namespace. However, if for some reason, you want top level classes, set this value to ‘Object` (which is the top level namespace for Ruby).

This is part of a DSL, for this reason when this method is called with an argument, it will set the corresponding instance variable. When called without, it will return the already set value, or the default.

Examples:

Getting the value

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.namespace # => Bookshelf

# It will lookup namespaced controllers under Bookshelf
# eg. Bookshelf::Controllers::Dashboard

Setting the value

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      namespace Object
    end
  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.namespace # => Object

# It will lookup top level controllers under Object
# eg. DashboardController

Overloads:

  • #namespace(value) ⇒ Object

    Sets the given value

    Parameters:

    • value (Class, Module) —

      A valid Ruby namespace

  • #namespace ⇒ Class, Module

    Gets the value

    Returns:

    • (Class, Module) —

      a Ruby namespace

#port(value) ⇒ Object #scheme ⇒ String

The URI port for this application. This is used by the router helpers to generate absolute URLs.

By default this value is ‘2300`.

This is part of a DSL, for this reason when this method is called with an argument, it will set the corresponding instance variable. When called without, it will return the already set value, or the default.

Examples:

Getting the value

require 'lotus'

    Sets the given value

    Parameters:

    • value (#to_int) —

      the URI port

    Raises:

    • (TypeError) —

#root(value) ⇒ Object #root ⇒ Pathname

The root of the application

By default it returns the current directory, for this reason, **all the commands must be executed from the top level directory of the project**.

If for some reason, that constraint above cannot be satisfied, please configure the root directory, so that commands can be executed from everywhere.

This is part of a DSL, for this reason when this method is called with an argument, it will set the corresponding instance variable. When called without, it will return the already set value, or the default.

Examples:

  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.root # => #<Pathname:/path/to/root>

Setting the value

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      root '/path/to/another/root'
    end
  end
end

Overloads:

  • #root(value) ⇒ Object

    Sets the given value

    Parameters:

    • value (String, Pathname, #to_pathname) —

      The root directory of the app

  • #root ⇒ Pathname

    Gets the value

    Returns:

    • (Pathname)

#view ⇒ Lotus::Config::FrameworkConfiguration

It lazily collects all the low level settings for Lotus::View’s configuration and applies them when the application is loaded.

NOTE: This forwards all the configurations to Lotus::View, without checking them. Before to use this feature, please have a look at the current Lotus::View version installed.

NOTE: This may override some configurations of your application.

Examples:

Define a setting

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      view.layout :application
    end
  end
end

Override a setting

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      layout      :application
      view.layout :backend
    end
  end
end

# It will use `:backend` layout

#view_pattern(value) ⇒ Object #controller_pattern ⇒ String

Defines a relative pattern to find views:.

Lotus supports multiple architectures (aka application structures), this setting helps to understand the namespace where to find applications’ views:.

By default this equals to ‘“Views::%#controller::%action”` That means views must be structured like this: `Bookshelf::Views::Dashboard::Index`, where `Bookshelf` is the application module, `Views` is the first value specified in the pattern, `Dashboard` a module corresponding to the controller name and `Index` the view, corresponding to the action name.

This pattern MUST always contain ‘“%#controller”` and `%action`. This pattern SHOULD be used accordingly to `#controller_pattern` value.

This is part of a DSL, for this reason when this method is called with an argument, it will set the corresponding instance variable. When called without, it will return the already set value, or the default.

Examples:

Getting the value

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      routes do
        get '/', to: 'dashboard#index'
      end
    end
  end

  module Views
    module Dashboard
      class Index
        include Bookshelf::View
      end
    end
  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.view_pattern
  # => "Views::%{controller}::%{action}"

# All the views MUST live under Bookshelf::Views

# GET '/' # => Bookshelf::Views::Dashboard::Index

Setting the value

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      view_pattern "%{controller}::%{action}"

      routes do
        get '/', to: 'dashboard#index'
      end
    end
  end

  module Dashboard
    class Index
      include Bookshelf::View
    end
  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.view_pattern
  # => "%{controller}::%{action}"

# All the views are directly under the Bookshelf module

# GET '/' # => Bookshelf::Dashboard::Index

Setting the value for a top level name structure

require 'lotus'

module Bookshelf
  class Application < Lotus::Application
    configure do
      namespace Object
      view_pattern "%{controller}::%{action}"

      routes do
        get '/', to: 'dashboard#index'
      end
    end
  end
end

module Dashboard
  class Index
    include Bookshelf::View
  end
end

Bookshelf::Application.configuration.view_pattern
  # => "%{controller}::%{action}"

# All the views: are at the top level namespace

# GET '/' # => Dashboard::Index

Overloads:

  • #view_pattern(value) ⇒ Object

    Sets the given value

    Parameters:

    • value (String) —

      the view pattern

  • #controller_pattern ⇒ String
