Phoenix Ember addon for rapidly building jsonapi backends

Note: This is super alpha software! Use at your own peril

TODO: Implement Action Symmetry aka multi-action

There is a natural symmetry in a lot of actions between models

For example, a truck can dock at a dock, but a dock can also be docked at by a truck.

The dock action takes 2 parameters (dock and truck), so it seems possible to automatically implement how such "symmetric" action situations are handled using the FSM

TODO: linkable attributes

allow all attributes to take a link decorator

TODO: Smarter Routes

Allow routes to automatically detected if we're in a namespace, model, collection, or page and have better default choices for model

Howto: Test

The server-side tests live in the sample app named dummy test by doing:

cd dummy
mix test

In order to test the js end of autox, you'll need to run the server dummy:

cd dummy
iex -S mix phoenix.server

Then, open up another terminal tab and run:

ember s

Then, open up your browser and navigate to localhost:4200/tests

Assumptions

In order to ultra rapidly scaffold out the backend, I make the following assumptions about your back-end. If any of them are not true for you, I highly recommend against using this library as it may cause irreparable damage to your app.

You don't have any user data in your db and therefore can drop and re-create it on a whim
You won't ever care to "optimize" at the application level
You will use ember-data and phoenix
In your routers, you namespace like this:

scope "apiv1", Apiv1 do
  ...
end

Instead of like this:

scope "api/v1", Apiv1 do
  ...
end

Yeah, don't nest shit unnecessarily 5. If your app needs session authentication, you're naming the models "Session", and "User" (this decision is not negotiable, go use another library if you don't like it) 6. There is no zeroth level route; i.e., everything lives in a scope block
