-**Aicra** is a *configuration-driven* **web framework** written in Go that allows you to create a fully featured REST API.
+[![Go version](https://img.shields.io/badge/go_version-1.16-blue.svg)](https://golang.org/doc/go1.16) [![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) [![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/git.xdrm.io/go/aicra)](https://goreportcard.com/report/git.xdrm.io/go/aicra) [![Go doc](https://godoc.org/git.xdrm.io/go/aicra?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/git.xdrm.io/go/aicra) [![Build Status](https://drone.xdrm.io/api/badges/go/aicra/status.svg)](https://drone.xdrm.io/go/aicra)
 
-The whole management is done for you from a configuration file describing your API, you're left with implementing :
-- handlers
-- optionnally middle-wares (_e.g. authentication, csrf_)
-- and optionnally your custom type checkers to check input parameters
+## Presentation
 
+`aicra` is a lightweight and idiomatic configuration-driven engine for building REST services. It's especially good at helping you write large APIs that remain maintainable as your project grows.
 
-The aicra server fulfills the `net/http` [Server interface](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Server).
+The focus of the project is to allow you to build a fully-featured REST API in an elegant, comfortable and inexpensive way. This is achieved by using a single configuration file to drive the server. This one file describes your entire API: methods, uris, input data, expected output, permissions, etc.
 
+Repetitive tasks are automatically processed by `aicra` based on your configuration, you're left with implementing your handlers (_usually business logic_).

-### I/ Installation
-
-You need a recent machine with `go` [installed](https://golang.org/doc/install). This package has not been tested under the version **1.10**.
+## Installation
 
+To install the aicra package, you need to install Go and set your Go workspace first.
+> not tested under Go 1.14
 
+1. you can use the below Go command to install aicra.
 ```bash
-go get -u git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/cmd/aicra
+$ go get -u git.xdrm.io/go/aicra
+```
+2. Import it in your code:
+```go
+import "git.xdrm.io/go/aicra"
 ```
 
-The library should now be available as `git.xdrm.io/go/aicra` in your imports.
+## What's automated
 
+As the configuration file is here to make your life easier, let's take a quick look at what you do not have to do ; or in other words, what does `aicra` automates.
 
-### II/ Development
+Http requests are only accepted when they have the permissions you have defined. If unauthorized, the request is rejected with an error response.
 
+Request data is automatically extracted and validated before it reaches your code. If a request has missing or invalid data an automatic error response is sent.
 
-#### 1) Main executable
+When launching the server, it ensures everything is ok and won't start until fixed. You will get errors for:
+- handler signature does not match the configuration
+- a configuration service has no handler
+- a handler does not match any service
 
-Your main executable will declare and run the aicra server, it might look quite like the code below.
+The same applies if your configuration is invalid:
+- unknown HTTP method
+- invalid uri
+- uri collision between 2 services
+- missing fields
+- unknown data type
+- input name collision
+
+## Getting started
+
+Here is the minimal code to launch your aicra server assuming your configuration file is `api.json`.
 
 ```go
 package main
 
 import (
-		"log"
-		"net/http"
+    "log"
+    "net/http"
+    "os"
 
-		"git.xdrm.io/go/aicra"
-		"git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/datatype"
-		"git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/datatype/builtin"
+    "git.xdrm.io/go/aicra"
+    "git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/api"
+    "git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/datatype/builtin"
 )
 
 func main() {
+    builder := &aicra.Builder{}
 
-	// 1. select your datatypes (builtin, custom)
-	var dtypes []datatype.T
-	dtypes = append(dtypes, builtin.AnyDataType{})
-	dtypes = append(dtypes, builtin.BoolDataType{})
-	dtypes = append(dtypes, builtin.UintDataType{})
-	dtypes = append(dtypes, builtin.StringDataType{})
+    // register data validators
+    builder.AddType(builtin.BoolDataType{})
+    builder.AddType(builtin.UintDataType{})
+    builder.AddType(builtin.StringDataType{})
 
-	// 2. create the server from the configuration file
-	server, err := aicra.New("path/to/your/api/definition.json", dtypes...)
-	if err != nil {
-		log.Fatalf("cannot built aicra server: %s\n", err)
-	}
+    // load your configuration
+    config, err := os.Open("api.json")
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatalf("cannot open config: %s", err)
+    }
+    err = builder.Setup(config)
+    config.Close() // free config file
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatalf("invalid config: %s", err)
+    }
 
-	// 3. bind your implementations
-	server.HandleFunc(http.MethodGet, "/path", func(req api.Request, res *api.Response){
-		// ... process stuff ...
-		res.SetError(api.ErrorSuccess());
-	})
+    // bind handlers
+    err = builder.Bind(http.MethodGet, "/user/{id}", getUserById)
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatalf("cannog bind GET /user/{id}: %s", err)
+    }
+    // ...
 
-	// 4. extract to http server
-	httpServer, err := server.ToHTTPServer()
-	if err != nil {
-		log.Fatalf("cannot get to http server: %s", err)
-	}
-
-	// 4. launch server
-	log.Fatal( http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8080", server) )
+    // build your services
+    handler, err := builder.Build()
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatalf("cannot build handler: %s", err)
+    }
+    http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8080", handler)
 }
 ```
 
+If you want to use HTTPS, you can configure your own `http.Server`.
+```go
+func main() {
+    server := &http.Server{
+        Addr:      "localhost:8080",
+		TLSConfig: tls.Config{},
+        // ...
+		Handler:   AICRAHandler,
+	}
+    server.ListenAndServe()
+}
+```
 
+## Configuration file
 
-#### 2) API Configuration
+First of all, the configuration uses `json`.
 
-The whole project behavior is described inside a json file (_e.g. usually api.json_). For a better understanding of the format, take a look at this working [template](https://git.xdrm.io/go/tiny-url-ex/src/master/api.json). This file defines :
-
-- routes and their methods
-- every input for each method (called *argument*)
-- every output for each method
-- scope permissions (list of permissions needed by clients)
-- input policy :
-	- type of argument (_i.e. for data types_)
-	- required/optional
-	- variable renaming
-
-
-
-###### Definition
-
-The root of the json file must be an array containing your requests definitions.
-
-For each, you will have to create fields described in the table above.
-
-| field path | description                                                  | example                                                      |
-| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `info`     | A short human-readable description of what the method does   | `create a new user`                                          |
-| `scope`    | A 2-dimensional array of permissions. The first dimension can be translated to a **or** operator, the second dimension as a **and**. It allows you to combine permissions in complex ways. | `[["A", "B"], ["C", "D"]]` can be translated to : this method needs users to have permissions (A **and** B) **or** (C **and** D) |
-| `in`       | The list of arguments that the clients will have to provide. See [here](#input-arguments) for details. |                                                              |
-| `out`      | The list of output data that will be returned by your controllers. It has the same syntax as the `in` field but is only use for readability purpose and documentation. |                                                              |

-##### Input Arguments
-
-###### 1. Input types
-
-Input arguments defines what data from the HTTP request the method needs. Aicra is able to extract 3 types of data :
-
-- **URI** - Curly Braces enclosed strings inside the request path. For instance, if your controller is bound to the `/user/{id}` URI, you can set the input argument `{id}` matching this uri part.
-- **Query** - data formatted at the end of the URL following the standard [HTTP Query](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.4) syntax.
-- **URL encoded** - data send inside the body of the request but following the [HTTP Query](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.4) syntax.
-- **Multipart** - data send inside the body of the request with a dedicated [format](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2388#section-3). This format is not very lightweight but allows you to receive data as well as files.
-- **JSON** - data send inside the body as a json object ; each key being a variable name, each value its content. Note that the HTTP header '**Content-Type**' must be set to `application/json` for the API to use it.
-
-
-
-###### 2. Global Format
-
-The `in` field in each method contains as list of arguments where the key is the argument name, and the value defines how to manage the variable.
-
-> Variable names from **URI** or **Query** must be named accordingly :
+> Quick note if you thought: "I hate JSON, I would have preferred yaml, or even xml !"
 >
-> - the **URI** variable `{id}` from your request route must be named `{id}`.
-> - the variable `somevar` in the **Query** has to be names `GET@somevar`.
+> I've had a hard time deciding and testing different formats including yaml and xml.
+> But as it describes our entire api and is crucial for our server to keep working over updates; xml would have been too verbose with growth and yaml on the other side would have been too difficult to read. Json sits in the right spot for this.
 
-**Example**
+Let's take a quick look at the configuration format !
 
-In this example we want 3 arguments :
+> if you don't like boring explanations and prefer a working example, see [here](https://git.xdrm.io/go/articles-api/src/master/api.json)
 
-- the 1^st^ one is send at the end of the URI and is a number compliant with the `int` type checker. It is renamed `article_id`, this new name will be sent to the handler.
-- the 2^nd^ one is send in the query (_e.g. [http://host/uri?get-var=value](http://host/uri?get-var=value)_). It must be a valid `string` or not given at all (the `?` at the beginning of the type tells that the argument is **optional**) ; it will be named `title`.
-- the 3^rd^ can be send with a **JSON** body, in **multipart** or **URL encoded** it makes no difference and only give clients a choice over the technology to use. If not renamed, the variable will be given to the handler with the name `content`.
+### Services
 
+To begin with, the configuration file defines a list of services. Each one is defined by:
+- `method` an HTTP method
+- `path` an uri pattern (can contain variables)
+- `info` a short description of what it does
+- `scope` a list of the required permissions
+- `in` a list of input arguments
+- `out` a list of output arguments
 ```json
 [
-	{
-		"method": "PUT",
-		"path": "/article/{id}",
-		"scope": [["author"]],
-		"info": "updates an article",
-		"in": {
-			"{id}":      { "info": "article id",          "type": "int",     "name": "article_id" },
-			"GET@title": { "info": "new article title",   "type": "?string", "name": "title"      },
-			"content":   { "info": "new article content", "type": "string"                        }
-		},
-		"out": {
-			"id":      { "info": "updated article id",      "type": "uint"   },
-			"title":   { "info": "updated article title",   "type": "string" },
-			"content": { "info": "updated article content", "type": "string" }
-		}
-	}
+    {
+        "method": "GET",
+        "path": "/article",
+        "scope": [["author", "reader"], ["admin"]],
+        "info": "returns all available articles",
+        "in": {},
+        "out": {}
+    }
 ]
 ```
 
+The `scope` is a 2-dimensional list of permissions. The first list means **or**, the second means **and**, it allows for complex permission combinations. The example above can be translated to: this method requires users to have permissions (author **and** reader) **or** (admin)
+
+### Input and output parameters
+
+Input and output parameters share the same format, featuring:
+- `info` a short description of what it is
+- `type` its data type (_c.f. validation_)
+- `?` whether it is mandatory or optional
+- `name` a custom name for easy access in code
+```json
+[
+    {
+        "method": "PUT",
+        "path": "/article/{id}",
+        "scope": [["author"]],
+        "info": "updates an article",
+        "in": {
+            "{id}":      { "info": "...", "type": "int",     "name": "id"    },
+            "GET@title": { "info": "...", "type": "?string", "name": "title" },
+            "content":   { "info": "...", "type": "string"                   }
+        },
+        "out": {
+            "title":   { "info": "updated article title",   "type": "string" },
+            "content": { "info": "updated article content", "type": "string" }
+        }
+    }
+]
+```
+
+If a parameter is optional you just have to prefix its type with a question mark, by default all parameters are mandatory.
+
+The format of the key of input arguments defines where it comes from:
+1. `{param}` is an URI parameter that is extracted from the `"path"`
+2. `GET@param` is an URL parameter that is extracted from the [HTTP Query](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.4) syntax.
+3. `param` is a body parameter that can be extracted from 3 formats independently:
+    - _url encoded_: data send in the body following the [HTTP Query](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.4) syntax.
+    - _multipart_: data send in the body with a dedicated [format](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2388#section-3). This format can be quite heavy but allows to transmit data as well as files.
+    - _JSON_: data sent in the body as a json object ; The _Content-Type_ header must be `application/json` for it to work.
+
+### Example
+```json
+[
+    {
+        "method": "PUT",
+        "path": "/article/{id}",
+        "scope": [["author"]],
+        "info": "updates an article",
+        "in": {
+            "{id}":      { "info": "...", "type": "int",     "name": "id"    },
+            "GET@title": { "info": "...", "type": "?string", "name": "title" },
+            "content":   { "info": "...", "type": "string"                   }
+        },
+        "out": {
+            "id":      { "info": "updated article id",      "type": "uint"   },
+            "title":   { "info": "updated article title",   "type": "string" },
+            "content": { "info": "updated article content", "type": "string" }
+        }
+    }
+]
+```
+
+1. `{id}` is extracted from the end of the URI and is a number compliant with the `int` type checker. It is renamed `ID`, this new name will be sent to the handler.
+2. `GET@title` is extracted from the query (_e.g. [http://host/uri?get-var=value](http://host/uri?get-var=value)_). It must be a valid `string` or not given at all (the `?` at the beginning of the type tells that the argument is **optional**) ; it will be named `title`.
+3. `content` can be extracted from json, multipart or url-encoded data; it makes no difference and only give clients a choice over the technology to use. If not renamed, the variable will be given to the handler with its original name `content`.
 
 
-### III/ Change Log
+
+## Writing your code
+
+Besides your main package where you launch your server, you will need to create handlers matching services from the configuration.
+
+The code below implements a simple handler.
+```go
+// "in": {
+//  "Input1": { "info": "...", "type": "int"     },
+//  "Input2": { "info": "...", "type": "?string" }
+// },
+type req struct{
+    Input1 int
+    Input2 *string // optional are pointers
+}
+// "out": {
+//  "Output1": { "info": "...", "type": "string" },
+//  "Output2": { "info": "...", "type": "bool"   }
+// }
+type res struct{
+    Output1 string
+    Output2 bool
+}
+
+func myHandler(r req) (*res, api.Err) {
+    err := doSomething()
+    if err != nil {
+        return nil, api.ErrFailure
+    }
+    return &res{"out1", true}, api.ErrSuccess
+}
+```
+
+If your handler signature does not match the configuration exactly, the server will print out the error and won't start.
+
+The `api.Err` type automatically maps to HTTP status codes and error descriptions that will be sent to the client as json; clients have to manage the same format for every response.
+```json
+{
+    "error": {
+        "code": 0,
+        "reason": "all right"
+    }
+}
+```
