Examples

Examples that show how real Shaperail applications are structured. Repository examples link directly to the checked-in code under examples/, and in-guide walkthroughs cover patterns that are documented rather than checked into the repo.

Available examples

Example Description
Blog API Two resources (posts, comments) with controllers: slug generation, edit rules, comment rate limiting, XSS prevention. Public reads, protected writes, owner-based updates, relations, cursor/offset pagination, soft delete. The checked-in project lives in examples/blog-api.
Enterprise SaaS Billing and subscription management example with invoice workflow enforcement, payment validation, audit logs, plan-based credit limits, and tenant-scoped business rules.
Incident platform Single app showing API-key alert ingest, file uploads, jobs/workers, event subscribers, inbound and outbound webhooks, WebSocket rooms, GraphQL/gRPC wiring, and manual runtime bootstrap in src/main.rs.
Multi-service workspace Two services (users-api, orders-api) showing workspace layout, dependency-ordered startup, and validated saga definitions for order creation.
Multi-tenant SaaS Three resources (organizations, projects, tasks) with controllers: plan-based project limits, status transition enforcement, cross-resource validation, tenant-scoped uniqueness. Shows tenant_key, JWT tenant claims, super_admin bypass.
WASM plugins Controller hooks written in TypeScript and Python compiled to WASM. Includes email validation and input normalization examples with the full plugin interface documented.
Controller walkthrough Documentation walkthrough in the Controllers guide. Complements the repository examples with a complete multi-resource billing walkthrough focused on controller patterns and testing guidance.

The repository currently includes these example directories under examples/: blog-api, enterprise-saas, incident-platform, multi-service, multi-tenant, and wasm-plugins.

If you wire controllers into a running app today, manual controller registration is still required.

Shaperail documentation lives in the same repository as the framework so every release has versioned instructions. See the latest release for the most recent version.
