Shapewear make your fat service look skinny.

Most of the inspiration for this gem came from Savon and HTTParty, thanks Daniel Harrington (a.k.a. rubiii) and John Nunemaker!

Work in Progress

This gem is still in early development. It's only working for some very basic cases. Any contribution and feedback is welcome.

Roadmap

• Add more tests;
• Add support for SOAP 1.2;
• Add cleaner integration on Rails and Sinatra (Rack middleware?).

Installation

Shapewear is available through Rubygems and can be installed via:

$ gem install shapewear

Introduction

First, describe your SOAP service:

require "shapewear"

class MyFirstService
  include Shapewear

  wsdl_namespace 'http://services.example.com/v1'

  endpoint_url 'http://localhost:3000/my_first_service'

  operation :hello, :parameters => [[:name, String]], :returns => String
  def hello(name)
    "hello, #{name}"
  end

  operation :sum, :parameters => [[:x, Fixnum], [:y, Fixnum]], :returns => Fixnum
  def sum(x, y)
    x + y
  end

  operation :get_user_info, :parameters => [[:email, String]], :returns => { :name => String, :birthday => DateTime }
  def get_user_info(email)
    User.find_by_email(email)
  end
end

Then bind to your web application in a non-intrusive way.

Rails example:

# don't forget to write the appropriate routes
class MyFirstServiceController < ApplicationController
  def wsdl
    render :xml => MyHelloService.to_wsdl
  end

  def serve
    render :xml => MyHelloService.serve(request)
  end
end

Sinatra example:

class MySinatraApp < Sinatra::App
  get "my_first_service/wsdl" do
    content_type "application/xml"
    MyHelloService.to_wsdl
  end

  post "my_first_service" do
    content_type "application/xml"
    MyHelloService.serve(request)
  end
end
