# Vial
Vial is an unopinionated micro web framework for AWS Lambda. It's main purpose is to provide an easy to use
interface while also making the core functionality of the framework as modular as possible.

## Installation
To add vial to your project, run the following command:
```
poetry add pyvial
```

## Usage
### Entry Point
The main entry point of the application is always the `Vial#__call__` function. When deploying to AWS Lambda,
the Lambda handler should point to the `Vial` object in whichever file it's defined in. As an example:
```
from vial.app import Vial

app = Vial(__name__)
```
If this code snippet is defined in an `app.py` file, the handler would be `app.app`.

### Basic API
```
from vial.app import Vial

app = Vial(__name__)


@app.get("/hello-world")
def hello_world() -> dict[str, str]:
    return {"hello": "world"}
```
Basic `serverless.yml` file to deploy the project with the serverless framework:
```
service: my-function
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: python3.9
  memorySize: 128
  region: us-west-2

package:
  patterns:
    - app.py

functions:
  api:
    handler: app.app
    events:
      - http: get /hello-world

custom:
  pythonRequirements:
    usePoetry: true

plugins:
  - serverless-python-requirements
```
You can now deploy the project with `serverless deploy`.

### Current Request
The current request is tracked within a contextual object that wraps the lambda request. It can be accessed like so:
```
from vial import request
from vial.app import Vial
from vial.types import Request

app = Vial(__name__)


@app.get("/hello-world")
def hello_world() -> dict[str, list[str]]:
    request: Request = request.get()
    query_params = request.query_parameters
    if not query_params:
        raise ValueError("Must provide at least one query parameter")
    return dict(query_params)
```
The `request.get()` function is only available during a lambda request and will raise an error if called outside of one.

### Path Parameters
You can define path parameters like this:
```
@app.get("/users/{user_id}")
def get_user(user_id: str) -> User:
    return user_service.get(user_id)
```

Vial supports some path parameter parsing as part of the invocation process. For example when using a UUID
as a path parameter, Vial can convert it from a string to a UUID automatically:
```
from uuid import UUID

@app.get("/users/{user_id:uuid}")
def get_user(user_id: UUID) -> User:
    return user_service.get(user_id)
```

The following parsers are supported by default:

| Parser        | Type              |
| ------------- | ----------------- |
| `str`         | `str`             |
| `bool`        | `bool`            |
| `int`         | `int`             |
| `float`       | `float`           |
| `decimal`     | `decimal.Decimal` |
| `uuid`        | `uuid.UUID`       |

You can register your own parser like this:
```
@app.parser("list")
def list_parser(value: str) -> list[str]:
    return [value]


@app.get("/users/{user_id:list}")
def get_user(user_ids: list[str]) -> list[User]:
    return [user_service.get(user_id) for user_id in user_ids]
```
As parsers are bound directly to the registered route function, they have to be defined before the route
function that uses one is registered.

## Resources
As your application grows, you may want to split certain functionality amongst resources, similar to
blueprints of other popular frameworks like Flask.

You can define a resource like this:
```
# store.py
from vial.resources import Resource

app = Resource(__name__)


@app.get("/stores/{store_id}")
def get_store(store_id: str) -> Store:
    return store_service.get(store_id)


# app.py
from stores import app as stores_app


app = Vial(__name__)

app.register_resource(stores_app)
```

## Middleware
You can register middleware functions to be executed before / after route invocations. All middleware is scoped to
where it's registered. A middleware function registered with the `Vial` instance is scoped to all routes within
the application, but a function registered with a `Resource` instance will only be invoked for routes defined in
that specific resource.

Below is an example of registering a middleware to log route invocation:
```
import logging
from vial.app import Vial

app = Vial(__name__)

logger = logging.getLogger("my-app")

@app.middleware
def log_events(event: Request, chain: CallChain) -> Response:
    logger.info("Began execution of %s", event.context)
    try:
        return chain(event)
    finally:
        logger.info("Completed execution of %s", event.context)


@app.get("/hello-world")
def hello_world() -> dict[str, str]:
    return {"hello": "world"}
```


## Json Encoding
You can customize how Vial serializes / deserializes JSON objects by passing a custom encoder. The below
example shows how to substitute the native JSON module with another library like `simplejson`:
```
import simplejson
from vial.app import Vial
from vial.json import Json


class SimpleJson(Json):
    @staticmethod
    def dumps(value: Any) -> str:
        return simplejson.dumps(value)

    @staticmethod
    def loads(value: str) -> Any:
        return simplejson.loads(value)

class SimpleJsonVial:
    json_class = SimpleJson


app = SimpleJsonVial()
```
