Edwin Zoom Posts – Hack Club Scrapbook

somebody had to do this eventually, right? (ty to @MasonMeirs-U03V4686P9N for lending me a sprig!)

HOLY SHIT

✨ Yellow hello hack club! I’m *VERY* excited to be shipping what is almost certainly my biggest project to date (also the fastest implemented: I wrote pretty much the whole thing throughout the day yesterday): Idyllic, the fastest way to build REST APIs! :githubparrot: Github (⭐ s always appreciated) z.rishi.cx/g/idyllic & z.rishi.cx/g/idyllic-todo (for an example of what a real-world API might look like) 🚀 At its core, Idyllic is a programming language that allows you to define how data flows through a given API & its routes: ```define middleware { test, logger } from "./api" define guards { authed } from "./api" define handlers { getAllTodos, postTodos } from "./api" global | middleware logger fragment getTodosFragment(level) | guard authed(level) | middleware test route "/todos" { | middleware test get { | expand getTodosFragment("user") getAll } post { | expand getTodosFragment("admin") postTodos } }``` 🛠️ The Idyllic language reverses the conventional paradigm that surrounds Node REST APIs: usually, you have to write your functions _for a framework_. With Idyllic, you can assemble your API completely independently of your functions themselves—now, an API is simply a wrapper over regular old Typescript functions! The language itself comes with a pretty big suite of features (you can read more about them at the Github page): • Static typing with Typescript & definition types • Parameterized, first-class macro support with Fragments • Data pipelines with Sequences • First-class support for Middleware and Guards • Query parameter capturing • Request type definitions 🕸️ The repository also comes with a minimal HTTP server that takes in a compiled Idyll and starts up a fully-functioning API from it: ```import { IdyllicCompiler } from "@idyllic/compiler"; import { IdyllicServer } from "@idyllic/server"; (async () => { // The fromFile static method reads the file into a string for us const compiler = await IdyllicCompiler.fromFile("ast.idl") // The compile method executes all 5 stages of compilation automatically. const compiled = await compiler.compile() // The server constructor takes in a compiled Idyllic object. const server = new IdyllicServer(compiled) // The start function takes in a port number (defaults to 3000) and a function to be executed on start. server.start(3000, () => { console.log("Idyllic server has started!") }) })()``` 💨 This server implementation’s pretty fast, too: in most cases, it comes close to (and in some cases, beats) Express! It’s derived directly from node’s built-in http module. Idyllic’s been a project that I’ve dreamt of making for quite a while now, and I’m super happy with how it turned out! I’ve included a little walkthrough of an Idyllic project down below :) I can’t wait to see what you’ll build with it! Special thanks to @JackyZhao @matthewgleich @safin.singh for being awesome along the way ✨
