Oat++ is a modern Web Framework for C++. 
It's fully loaded and contains all necessary components for effective production level development. 
It's also light and has a small memory footprint.

### API Controller And Request Mapping

For more info see [Api Controller](https://oatpp.io/docs/components/api-controller/)

#### Declare Endpoint

```cpp
ENDPOINT("PUT", "/users/{userId}", putUser,
         PATH(Int64, userId),
         BODY_DTO(Object<UserDto>, userDto)) 
{
  userDto->id = userId;
  return createDtoResponse(Status::CODE_200, m_database->updateUser(userDto));
}
```

#### Add CORS for Endpoint

For more info see [Api Controller / CORS](https://oatpp.io/docs/components/api-controller/#cors)

```cpp
ADD_CORS(putUser)
ENDPOINT("PUT", "/users/{userId}", putUser,
         PATH(Int64, userId),
         BODY_DTO(Object<UserDto>, userDto)) 
{
  userDto->id = userId;
  return createDtoResponse(Status::CODE_200, m_database->updateUser(userDto));
}
```

#### Endpoint with Authorization

For more info see [Api Controller / Authorization](https://oatpp.io/docs/components/api-controller/#authorization-basic)

```cpp
using namespace oatpp::web::server::handler;
  
ENDPOINT("PUT", "/users/{userId}", putUser,
         AUTHORIZATION(std::shared_ptr<DefaultBasicAuthorizationObject>, authObject),
         PATH(Int64, userId),
         BODY_DTO(Object<UserDto>, userDto)) 
{
  OATPP_ASSERT_HTTP(authObject->userId == "Ivan" && authObject->password == "admin", Status::CODE_401, "Unauthorized");
  userDto->id = userId;
  return createDtoResponse(Status::CODE_200, m_database->updateUser(userDto));
}
```

### Swagger-UI Annotations

For more info see [Endpoint Annotation And API Documentation](https://oatpp.io/docs/components/api-controller/#endpoint-annotation-and-api-documentation)

#### Additional Endpoint Info

```cpp
ENDPOINT_INFO(putUser) {
  // general
  info->summary = "Update User by userId";
  info->addConsumes<Object<UserDto>>("application/json");
  info->addResponse<Object<UserDto>>(Status::CODE_200, "application/json");
  info->addResponse<String>(Status::CODE_404, "text/plain");
  // params specific
  info->pathParams["userId"].description = "User Identifier";
}
ENDPOINT("PUT", "/users/{userId}", putUser,
         PATH(Int64, userId),
         BODY_DTO(Object<UserDto>, userDto)) 
{
  userDto->id = userId;
  return createDtoResponse(Status::CODE_200, m_database->updateUser(userDto));
}
```

### API Client - Retrofit / Feign Like Client

For more info see [Api Client](https://oatpp.io/docs/components/api-client/)

#### Declare Client

```cpp
class UserService : public oatpp::web::client::ApiClient {
public:

  API_CLIENT_INIT(UserService)

  API_CALL("GET", "/users", getUsers)
  API_CALL("GET", "/users/{userId}", getUserById, PATH(Int64, userId))

};
```

#### Using API Client

```cpp
auto response = userService->getUserById(id);
auto user = response->readBodyToDto<oatpp::Object<UserDto>>(objectMapper);
```

### Object Mapping

For more info see [Data Transfer Object (DTO)](https://oatpp.io/docs/components/dto/).

#### Declare DTO

```cpp
class UserDto : public oatpp::DTO {

  DTO_INIT(UserDto, DTO)

  DTO_FIELD(Int64, id);
  DTO_FIELD(String, name);

};
```

#### Serialize DTO Using ObjectMapper

```cpp
using namespace oatpp::parser::json::mapping;

auto user = UserDto::createShared();
user->id = 1;
user->name = "Ivan";

auto objectMapper = ObjectMapper::createShared();
auto json = objectMapper->writeToString(user);
```

Output:

```json
{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "Ivan"
}
```

#### Serialize/Deserialize Data In Free Form

While DTO objects apply strict rules on data ser/de, you can also
serialize/deserialize data in free form using type `oatpp::Any`.

```cpp
oatpp::Fields<oatpp::Any> map = {
  {"title", oatpp::String("Hello Any!")},
  {"listOfAny",
   oatpp::List<oatpp::Any>({
     oatpp::Int32(32),
     oatpp::Float32(0.32),
     oatpp::Boolean(true)
   })
  }
};

auto json = mapper->writeToString(map); 
```

Output:

```json
{
  "title": "Hello Any!",
  "listOfAny": [
    32,
    0.3199999928474426,
    true
  ]
}
```
