Also zero experience, but intrigued by the idea for a while. The basic idea is that "consistency" means ensuring that the facts that led to a decision haven't changed. Ie instead of version numbers you check that no new events of the same type and identifiers exist, before appending new ones.

Fuck this I'm too lazy to learn a new editor so I just installed .. err... LazyVim from scratch.

Yeah, the argument is that whatever state you need to build, it's only there to make the one decision that each handler needs to make (eg "can I add this product to this cart?"). So, state is contextual to each decision, not necessarily spanning multiple decisions on the same "entities".

Chatting to APIs via OpenAPI specs => LLM works pretty well, as long as the spec is complete.

The actual web app also used this in-process API client to read and write data. So the entire app was server-driven, API-first. It was great for dog-fooding your own API, and simple to setup.

This is how I was testing Hypermedia APIs in Ruby some years ago. "root" is a client representing the API's root, exposing links as methods. In tests, the client uses a test adapter that talks directly to the Rack app instead of issuing actual HTTP requests. You test the API by navigating it.

Super easy setup for that terminal LLM chat.

And now that the client's done, it was pretty easy to turn a remote OpenAPI spec into RubyLLM tools, so that I can chat with the API.

Ok this was easier than I thought. This example uses an HTTP adapter that just sends in-process request objects to the Rack app (no actual network usage). Ideal for testing!

Ismael Celis @ismaelcelis.com · 4d

By using an in-process adapter (like Faraday's test adapter), you can use the client to more ergonomically test the API as you write it. This is something I've done in the past with hypermedia APIs and clients, like in this old library (Steppe's precursor) github.com/ismasan/brid...

It's really simple, and it just returns responses as defined by the API's definitions, including validations
