wax

Wax is an opinionated Crystal code generator for web applications and APIs. It provides conventions to follow to write your backend Crystal code more quickly using a few different Crystal shards:

• Armature for HTTP routing
• Interro for querying your Postgres database
• Conveyor for background jobs
• Redis as the backing store for caching, background jobs, and sessions
• Dotenv for loading configuration from .env files

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     wax:
       github: jgaskins/wax

2. Run shards install to install wax and its dependencies

Usage

From your terminal:

bin/wax generate app YourAppName

Wax will generate all the files your app needs to get started for your app. You can also abbreviate generate as g:

bin/wax g app YourAppName
