# HalfAPI

Base tools to develop complex API with rights management.

This project was developped by Maxime Alves and Joël Maïzi. The name was chosen
to reference [HalfORM](https://github.com/collorg/halfORM), a project written by Joël Maïzi.


## Dependencies

- python3
- python3-pip
- libgit2-dev
- starlette
- PyJWT
- click
- uvicorn
- orjson
- pyyaml


## Configuration

Configure HalfAPI in the file : .halfapi/config .

It's a **toml** file that contains at least two sections, project and domains.

https://toml.io/en/


### Project

The main configuration options without which HalfAPI cannot be run.

**secret** : The file containing the secret to decode the user's tokens.

**port** : The port for the test server.

**loglevel** : The log level (info, debug, critical, ...)


### Domains

Specify the domains configurations in the following form :

```
[domains.DOMAIN_NAME]
name = "DOMAIN_NAME"
enabled = true
prefix = "/prefix"
module = "domain_name.path.to.api.root"
port = 1002
```

Specific configuration can be done under the "config" section :

```
[domains.DOMAIN_NAME.config]
boolean_option = false
string_value = "String"
answer = 42
listylist = ["hello", "world"]
```

And can be accessed through the app's "config" dictionnary.


## Usage

Develop an HalfAPI domain by following the examples located in
tests/dummy_domain . An HalfAPI domain should be an importable python module
that is available in the python path.

Run the project by using the `halfapi run` command.

You can try the dummy_domain with the following command.

```
PYTHONPATH=$PWD/tests python -m halfapi domain dummy_domain
```

### CLI documentation

Use the CLI help.

```
python -m halfapi --help
python -m halfapi domain --help
```
