WaseEndpoint

WaseEndpoint is a library for building daemons that act as WASE Endpoints for the EngineYard Wase competition: bit.ly/3qRMbv

Install

WaseEndpoint is hosted by gemcutter.com. Please make sure you have added them to your gem sources.

  $ sudo gem install wase_endpoint

Usage

The following are all in the example directory.

Your endpoint logic:

  # example/my_endpoint.rb

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'wase_endpoint'

  class MyEndpoint < WaseEndpoint

    # Just return our json as it came in.
    def secret_sauce(raw_json)
      raw_json
    end

  end

The init file:

  # example/init.rb

  require 'my_endpoint'

  MyEndpoint.new( :username => 'twitter_username',
                  :password => 'twitter_password',
                  :logfile => 'my_endpoint.log',
                  :sleep_period => 60 )

Now running the init file will start your daemon. The PID will be returned to allow you to monitor it or kill it later.

  ruby init.rb

That’s it! I also included a basic sinatra server in ‘server.rb’ that can be used as an input/output/program-listing node.
