Rifle

Rifle is a wrapper over Gun. Rifle also provides pooling for Gun and reuses connections. Currently WIP

Installation

Rifle is available as a Hex package. You need to add gun, before adding rifle to your deps() in mix.exs.

defp deps do
  [
    {:gun, "== 1.0.0-pre.5"},
    {:rifle, "~> 0.1"}
  ]
end

Usage

In Rifle, you need to define a service(a domain and port to connect to). Then Rifle spawns a pool of Gun connections and spreads the requests on the pool of connections. Requests can be made on a service or pool.

To create a pool, you can add this line to your supervisor.

{Rifle, %{name: :httpbin, domain: "httpbin.org", port: 443, pool_size: 10}}

Options can contain:

• name - This needs to be the name of the pool or service. Needs to be unique.
• domain - Domain of the service
• port - Port it needs to connect to. If 443 is provided, it will automatically use TLS.
• pool_size - Number of Gun connections to create.

Adding this line will create supervisor with pool of connections.

For making requests:

Rifle.get/4, Rifle.post/5, Rifle.delete/5, Rifle.put/5, Rifle.head/5, Rifle.options/5 or requests/6 can be used to place requests.
