binp 0.0.4

Basic Integration Platform

Basic Integration Platform

Provides a platform for automation with code-first approach, with embedded batteries:

• Tracing (journals)
• Internal and user-defined API
• Ultra-light but rich mobile-first UI
• Embedded key-value storage

It is heavily inspired by node-red and aims to provide same enjoyment during development but without mess of nodes and connections for tasks a little bit more complicated than just hello world.

The platform also tries to be easy in deployment and maintaining. Code could be stored in a SCM (ex: git) and persistent storage is just a single file that could be backed up and restored trivially.

Because memory and CPU consumption relatively low a solution based on the platform could be launched even on Raspberry Pi Zero with 512MB RAM.

Install

pip install binp uvicorn

Example:

from random import randint

from binp import BINP

binp = BINP()


@binp.app.post('/random', response_model=int)
@binp.journal
async def generate_random():
    """
    Generate random number in range 0 ... 1024
    """
    return randint(0, 1024)


@binp.action
@binp.journal
async def currency_rate():
    """
    Fetch currency rate for EUR -> USD
    """
    # go to external service
    euro = 1.3
    await binp.journal.record('rates fetched', base_currency='USD', euro=euro)

Save as 'example.py' and run it by

uvicorn example:binp.app

TIP: pass --reload flag to uvicorn to support automatic reload during development

It will expose

• http://127.0.0.1:8000 - UI and API
• http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs - Swagger docs for user-defined APIs
• http://127.0.0.1:8000/internal/docs - Swagger docs for internal APIs

Configuration

Default configuration can be changed by environment variables:

• DEV - set DEV=true to enable development mode
• DB_URL - database SQLITE URL, default sqlite:///data.db

HTTP port and binding address configured by uvicorn:

• --port - set listening port, default 8000
• --host - set binding host, default 127.0.0.1

For uvicorn command should be like

uvicorn <python file without .py>:<binp instance>.app
