cpp-funny-endpoints

Simple C++ application that interacts with different open api's to create text that you can receive on GET endpoints. See swagger.yml

Uses vcpkg to handle dependencies and cmake build system. It uses nlohmann_json for json, drogon for http server part, cpr for http client part, spdlog for logging and gtest for testing.

Testing

Testing is done using gtest. Testing of the classes Funny and Service are done using dependency injection. Mocking of the client and server classes are done using googlemock.

Building locally

1. Setup dependencies using vcpkg

• Install vcpkg

$ git clone ssh://[email protected]/microsoft/vcpkg
$ cd vcpkg
$ ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh

• Install dependencies

$ ./vcpkg install nlohmann_json gtest spdlog drogon cpp-httplib

• set VCPKG_ROOT environment variable

$ export VCPKG_ROOT=/path/to/vcpkg

Create a build directory if you haven't already and initailize the dependencies:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cd ..

2. Building

cmake --build build

3. Running

./build/bin/funny

4. Running the tests

The tests are automatically run after each build. You can run them by invoking:

./build/bin/funnytests

Building for docker

1. Building the image

docker-compose build

2. Running the container

docker-compose up -d

3. Running the tests

The tests are also run after building in docker. To run the tests in docker invoke:

docker run cpp-funny-endpoints funnytests

Running in kubernetes

See k8s/README.md.
