simple_app_api - Unified Application Layer for Eiffel

Overview

simple_app_api is the top-level unified facade for Eiffel applications. One class gives you access to the entire simple_* ecosystem through inheritance: APP inherits SERVICE inherits FOUNDATION.

What You Get

HTTP Client

GET, POST, PUT, DELETE requests with fluent API

Alpine.js

Generate reactive UI components in Eiffel

JWT Auth

Create and verify tokens (inherited)

SQL Database

SQLite with query builder (inherited)

SMTP Email

Send emails with TLS (inherited)

Rate Limiting

Protect APIs (inherited)

Base64/Hash

Encoding, MD5, SHA (inherited)

JSON/CSV

Parse and generate (inherited)

UUID

Generate unique IDs (inherited)

Installation

One library to rule them all:

<library name="simple_app_api"
        location="$SIMPLE_APP_API\simple_app_api.ecf"/>

Quick Start

local
    app: APP
do
    create app.make

    -- HTTP requests
    response := app.web_client.get ("https://api.example.com")

    -- Alpine.js UI
    div := app.alpine.div
    div.x_data ("{count: 0}")

    -- JWT (inherited from SERVICE)
    token := app.create_token ("secret", "user", "app", 3600)

    -- Database (inherited from SERVICE)
    db := app.new_memory_database

    -- Hashing (inherited from FOUNDATION)
    hash := app.sha256 ("password")
end
