smith-client

This is a client-library for the Smith API.

The goal is to provide a convenient Haskell API for working with the API.

Configuration

The default 'configure' function will source credentials configuration as follows:

• It will check for an environment provided API key in '$SMITH_JWK'.
• It will fall-back to looking for '\(SMITH_HOME/credentials.json' if '\)SMITH_HOME' is set.
• It will fall-back to looking for '$HOME/.smith/credentials.json'.

The default 'configure' function will source endpoint configuration as follows:

• It will check for an environment provided endpoint in '$SMITH_ENDPOINT'.
• It will fall-back to the public production endpoint 'https://api.smith.st'.

Stability

This library is new, and should have the disclaimers that normally comes with that. It is expected that most people will interact with smith-cli rather than directly with this library, however if you do use this library directly, please note that whilst compatibility won't be broken unless necessary there are a few parts of the library (for example error handling) that will be evolved and polished as an official release version of the API is available.

Example

A crude example:

import qualified Data.Text.IO as Text

import qualified Smith.Client as Smith
import           Smith.Client.Data.User
import           Smith.Client.Error (SmithError (..))

example :: IO (Either SmithError UserInfo)
example =
  Smith.configure >>= \c -> case c of
    Left err ->
       Text.putStrLn . Smith.renderSmithConfigureError $ err
    Right smith ->
      Smith.runRequest smith Smith.userinfo

Development

The simplest way to develop this library is working against the Pact stub server (depends on docker).

# Configures and starts a docker container with API stubs.
