Add a Ruby backend

Add Ruby routes with the @primate/ruby module. Write handlers in Ruby; Primate compiles them to WebAssembly and wires them like JS routes.

Manage your Primate Ruby app as you would a normal Ruby project. Make sure you install dependencies into vendor via bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle', so dass Primate can pick them up.

1) Install

Install the Primate Ruby package as well as the primate-run gem.

$ npm install @primate/ruby && bundle install primate-run

2) Configure

Load the Ruby module in your configuration.

TypeScriptconfig/app.ts

import ruby from "@primate/ruby";
import config from "primate/config";

export default config({ modules: [ruby()] });

3) Write a route

Compose a route in Ruby.

Rubyroutes/index.rb

require 'primate/route'

Route.get do |request|
  'Hello from Ruby'
end


Route.post do |request|
  { ok: true }
end
