GetAJob in Elixir

An Elixir implementation of the "Get a Job" service from Designing Hypermedia APIs by Steve Klabnik.

The application uses the Phoenix Framework to implement the API.

This is a work in progress and not complete.

Development

Requirements:

• postgresql: server and client
• Erlang/OTP 17
• Elixir 1.0.4

I've built a vagrant environment that has everything you need:

$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

The source code is available in the VM at /vagrant.

To run the application in development mode.

1. Install dependencies:

   $ ./scripts/build.sh
   

   Or, equivalently:

   $ mix local.hex --force
   $ mix local.rebar --force
   $ mix deps.get
   $ npm install
   

2. Create the databases:

   $ ./scripts/create_db.sh
   

   Or, equivalently:

   $ mix ecto.create
   $ mix ecto.migrate
   

3. Start Phoenix endpoint:

    $ mix phoenix.server

Now you can visit http://localhost:4000 from your browser. The port is also forwarded to the vagrant VM.

Examples

$ curl -L --include \
  --data 'job[status]=in_progress' \
  --data 'job[number_one]=5' \
  --data 'job[number_two]=2' \
  http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/jobs

$ curl --include http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/jobs/1

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/jobs
