bravado-asyncio
===============

``bravado-asyncio`` is an asynchronous HTTP client for the `bravado library <https://github.com/Yelp/bravado>`__.
It uses Python's ``asyncio`` and `aiohttp <http://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`__ internally. It enables
you to do concurrent network requests with bravado, similar to the `fido client <https://github.com/Yelp/fido>`__.
Unlike fido, ``bravado-asyncio`` does not depend on crochet or twisted and uses Python 3's standard library
to implement asynchronous behavior.

*Note*: This is not a fork or reimplementation of bravado using asynchronous programming (like aiomysql is for PyMySQL).
The interface of bravado remains unchanged.


Example usage
-------------

If you're familiar with bravado then all you need to do is switch out (or specify) your HTTP client:

.. code-block:: python

from bravado_asyncio.http_client import AsyncioClient
from bravado.client import SwaggerClient

client = SwaggerClient.from_url(
'http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json',
http_client=AsyncioClient(),
)
pet = client.pet.getPetById(petId=42).result()


Installation
------------

.. code-block:: bash

# This will install bravado-asyncio and bravado
$ pip install bravado-asyncio

# To install bravado-asyncio with the optional cchardet and aiodns packages,
# which are recommended by the underlying aiohttp package
$ pip install bravado-asyncio[aiohttp_extras]


Project status
--------------

The project is very much work in progress. Expect bugs. If you find any, please file an issue!

Internal as well as external interfaces may change at any time currently. That said, since bravado expects
the HTTP client to adhere to a specific interface, those parts should be relatively stable.


Development and contributing
----------------------------

Developing ``bravado-asyncio`` requires a working installation of Python 3.5 or 3.6 with the virtualenv package being installed.
All other requirements will be installed in a virtualenv created in the ``venv`` directory.

1. Run ``make``. This will create the virtualenv you will use for development, with all runtime and development
dependencies installed.
2. If you're using `aactivator <https://github.com/Yelp/aactivator>`__ then you will be prompted to activate the new
environment, please do so. If you prefer not to use aactivator, do ``source .activate.sh``.
3. Make sure everything is set up correctly by running ``make test``.

Note that ``make test`` will try running the tests both with Python 3.5 and Python 3.6. It's totally fine if you have
only one of the two installed - just make sure that at least one of the two suites passes. Use

.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e cover

to run the tests only with your installe
Great, you're ready to go! If you have an improvement or bugfix, please submit a pull request.


The event loop
--------------

``bravado-asyncio`` creates its own event loop in a separate thread. This is necessary as it is not possible to use the
main event loop - it would require a fork of bravado, making its public interface asynchronous. That said,
``bravado-asyncio`` and bravado should work well with your existing asyncio application.

You shouldn't normally need to interact with ``bravado-asyncio``'s event loop. If you do need to do so please use
``bravado_asyncio.http_client.get_loop()`` to retrieve it. Note that it won't be the currently active loop!
