🪐 Orbit - a Gemini app framework for Elixir

A simple framework for a simple protocol.

🚧 🚧 🚧 Alpha software - under active delopment 🚧 🚧 🚧

Orbit borrows a lot of ideas from Plug and Phoenix.

• The foundation consists of:

  • Orbit.Capsule - TLS endpoint that accepts incoming connections (like Phoenix.Endpoint and cowboy combined)
  • Orbit.Request - encapsulates the request-response lifecyle (like Plug.Conn)

• Your application implements:

  • Orbit.Pipe - the behaviour for request middleware (like Plug)
  • Orbit.Router - defines pipelines and routes
  • Orbit.Controller - processes requests and render views
  • Orbit.View - renders Gemtext content

• Some additional niceties:

  • Orbit.Static - serves up static content
  • Orbit.Status - applies response status codes

There's still a lot TODO!

See the GitHub project for the latest progress.

Installation

Orbit can be added to any existing application, including a Phoenix one.
