Amethyst is a Rails inspired web-framework for Crystal language

#

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.

Amethyst examples

For detailed information, see docs on our wiki below:

• Installation
• Usage
• Controllers
• Routing
• Middleware
• Static files
• Applications

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

Example

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 %>

Using amethyst-bin to quickly generate your application

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
