Productivity. Performance. Happiness.

Amber makes building web applications fast, simple, and enjoyable - with fewer bugs and blazing fast performance.

Welcome to Amber

Amber is a web application framework written in Crystal inspired by Kemal, Rails, Phoenix and other popular application frameworks.

The purpose of Amber is not to create yet another framework, but to take advantage of the beautiful Crystal language capabilities and provide engineers and the Crystal community with an efficient, cohesive, well maintained web framework that embraces the language philosophies, conventions, and guidelines.

Amber borrows concepts that have already been battle tested and successful, and embraces new concepts through team and community collaboration and analysis, which also aligns with Crystal's philosophy.

Installation

Linux

Ensure you have the necessary dependencies:

For Debian & Ubuntu

These are necessary to compile the CLI:

  • apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev libpq-dev libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev`

Once you have these dependencies, you can build amber from source:

$ git clone git@github.com:amberframework/amber.git
$ cd amber
$ make
$ make install
For ArchLinux & derivates
  • Install the CLI from AUR package. Dependencies are automatically installed.
  • yaourt -S amber

You should now be able to run amber in the command line.

Mac OS X

Best way to get amber on Mac OS X is via Homebrew:

$ brew install amberframework/amber/amber

Refer to this link if you don't have homebrew installed.

Amber CLI Commands

$ amber --help

Amber - Command Line Interface

  The `amber new` command creates a new Amber application with a default
  directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.

  You can specify extra command-line arguments to be used every time
  `amber new` runs in the .amber.yml configuration file in your project
  root directory

  Note that the arguments specified in the .amber.yml file does not affect the
  defaults values shown above in this help message.

  Usage:
  amber new [app_name] -d [pg | mysql | sqlite] -t [slang | ecr] -m [granite, crecto] --deps

Subcommands:
  d         alias for deploy
  database  # Performs database maintenance tasks
  db        alias for database
  deploy    # Provisions server and deploys project.
  e         alias for encrypt
  encrypt   # Encrypts environment YAML file. [env | -e --editor | --noedit]
  exec      # Executes Crystal code within the application scope
  g         alias for generate
  generate  # Generate Amber classes
  n         alias for new
  new       # Generates a new Amber project
  routes    # Prints all defined application routes
  w         alias for watch
  watch     # Starts amber development server and rebuilds on file changes
  x         alias for exec

Options:
  -d, --database  # Preconfigure for selected database. Options: pg | mysql | sqlite
                  (default: pg)
  -m, --model     # Preconfigure for selected model. Options: granite | crecto
                  (default: granite)
  -t, --template  # Preconfigure for selected template engine. Options: slang | ecr
                  (default: slang)
  -h, --help      # Describe available commands and usages
  -v, --version   # Prints Amber version

Example:
  amber new ~/Code/Projects/weblog
  This generates a skeletal Amber installation in ~/Code/Projects/weblog.

Usage

amber new [app_name] -d [pg | mysql | sqlite] -t [slang | ecr] -m [granite, crecto] --deps
cd [your_app]

options: -d defaults to pg. -t defaults to slang. -m defaults to granite. --deps will run crystal deps for you.

This will generate a traditional web application:

  • /config - Application and HTTP::Handler config's goes here. The database.yml and routes.cr are here.
  • /lib - Shards are installed here.
  • /public - Default location for HTML/CSS/js files. The static handler points to this directory.
  • /spec - All crystal specs go here.
  • /src - All source code goes here.

Scaffolding

Generate scaffolding for a resource:

amber generate scaffold Post name:string body:text draft:bool

This will generate scaffolding for Post:

  • src/controllers/post_controller.cr
  • src/models/post.cr
  • src/views/post/*
  • db/migrations/[datetimestamp]_create_post.sql
  • spec/controllers/post_controller_spec.cr
  • spec/models/post_spec.cr
  • appends route to config/routes.cr
  • appends navigation to src/layouts/_nav.slang

Running App Locally

To test the generated app locally:

  1. Create and migrate the database: amber db create migrate. You should see output like Migrating db, current version: 0, target: [datetimestamp]OK [datetimestamp]_create_shop.sql
  2. Run the specs: crystal spec
  3. Start your app: amber watch
  4. Then visit http://0.0.0.0:3000/

Note: The amber watch command is based on Sentry to watch for any changes in your source files, recompiling automatically.

If you don't want to use Sentry, you can compile and run manually:

  1. Build the app crystal build --release src/[your_app].cr
  2. Run with ./[your_app]
  3. Visit http://0.0.0.0:3000/

Amber Philosophy H.R.T.

It's all about the community. Software development is a team sport!

It's not enough to be brilliant when you're alone in your programming lair. You are not going to change the world or delight millions of users by hiding and preparing your secret invention. We need to work with other members, we need to share our visions, divide the labor, learn from others, we need to be a team.

HUMILITY We are not the center of the universe. You're neither omniscient nor infallible. You are open to self-improvement.

RESPECT You genuinely care about others you work with. You treat them as human beings and appreciate their abilities and accomplishments.

TRUST You believe others are competent and will do the right thing, and you are OK with letting them drive when appropriate.
