Hi,
I wrote a small extension "Tealight" for the Teapot framework that makes it
even easier to experiment with web based interfaces/web calls into Pharo
running on the server side.
It additionally allows you to easily define and generate a simple or versioned
web
interface for your own apps.
With this extension REST annotated methods like
greeting: aRequest
<REST_API: 'GET' pattern: 'hello'>
^'HelloWorld from Pharo'
are transformed into dynamic Teapot routes and can be accessed easily via web.
You can use two pragmas:
#REST_API:pattern: for standard APIs
#REST_API:versions:pattern for versioned APIs
Full docu explaining how to use it is added on
https://github.com/astares/Tealight
It also shows the new custom "Teaspoon" inspector extension tool implemented by
Attila Magyar - which is really cool to experiment and call the web methods
without a web browser or Zinc scripts.
So far there is no config for Tealight for the catalog yet, will add this soon.
So for the time being you need to load the latest version via
Metacello new
repository: 'github://astares/Tealight/repository';
baseline: 'Tealight';
load
to follow the docu description.
Have fun!
Bye
T.
