restito-scala - a Scala wrapper for Restito

Unfortunate thing is Restito uses match and then heavily. match is a Scala keyword and then is currently reserved to be used as a keyword in a future version of Scala. This makes it a pain to use Restito from Scala.

With this project our goal is to provide an alternative syntax to make Restito more Scala friendly.

Dependency

Until this library is deployed to a Maven repository you need to depend on this project from your build.sbt:

lazy val restitoScala = RootProject(uri("https://github.com/cemcatik/restito-scala.git"))

dependsOn(restitoScala)

Usage

import com.xebialabs.restito.scala._
import com.xebialabs.restito.semantics.Condition._
import com.xebialabs.restito.semantics.Action._

val stubServer = StubServer(19001)
stubServer.run()

when http stubServer matches (
  get("/v1/users/id")
) respond (
  ok(),
  stringContent("""{"name": "cemcatik"}""")
)

stubServer.stop()

Background

Take a look at this simple example in Java:

whenHttp(server).
  match(get("/demo")).
  then(status(HttpStatus.OK_200));

The same example looks out of place in Scala:

whenHttp(server).
  `match`(get("/demo")).
  `then`(status(HttpStatus.OK_200))

Another thing that caught my attention was the heavy dependence on external libraries even in the simplest of use cases. For example for the simpleset example above the required imports are shown below.

import com.xebialabs.restito.server.StubServer
import com.xebialabs.restito.builder.stub.StubHttp
import com.xebialabs.restito.semantics.Condition._
import com.xebialabs.restito.semantics.Action._
import org.glassfish.grizzly.http.util.HttpStatus
