Add a REST HTTP API about daemonmode.jl HOT 4 OPEN

Thank you for your interest. I am going to add the REST API, these days I am a bit busy with the starting of second semester, but I hope to do it for next week.

from daemonmode.jl.

Thank you for the suggestion. I copy the idea. I had chosen the socket option because it is in the standard library, but actually rest api could be simpler. After making possible that the server and the client are in different computers, I will add it.

from daemonmode.jl.

This would be extremely useful. Is it implemented already? didn't see it described in the readme.

from daemonmode.jl.

I created a basic Genie app to try and do this: https://github.com/NightMachinary/RestingDemon

The file https://github.com/NightMachinary/RestingDemon/blob/master/routes.jl is where the logic should be defined:

using Genie, Genie.Router, Genie.Requests, Genie.Renderer.Json
using DaemonMode

route("/jsonpayload", method = POST) do
  @show jsonpayload()
  out = runexpr(jsonpayload()["code"])
  json(out)
end

The problem is that I need runexpr to return stdout, stderr, and the resulting Julia object to me, so that I can put them in the JSON response; But runexpr just dumps stdout (etc) to the Genie app's stdout, and doesn't return anything.

Using

route("/jsonpayload", method = POST) do
  @show jsonpayload()
  code = jsonpayload()["code"]
  out = eval(Meta.parse(code))
  json(out)
end

I can at least do the easiest stuff:

❯ echo '{"code": "1+(8*4)"}' | curl --fail --silent --location --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '@-' localhost:8000/jsonpayload
