SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Athena Framework helps Crystal developers build robust, modular web applications by organizing core components into a coherent ecosystem.

Core Features & Use Cases

Framework (ATH) provides full-stack web features; DependencyInjection (ADI) enables IoC and service wiring; Routing (ART) handles HTTP routing; Serializer (ASR) manages (de)serialization; Validator (AVD) enforces data integrity; Console (ACON) builds CLI tools; EventDispatcher (AED) enables event-driven architectures; and more for flexible, component-based development.
Use cases include REST APIs, web apps, CLI tools, and microservice components in Crystal projects, with optional standalone components or combined usage for scalable architectures.
The docs reference in references/ provide API details and examples to accelerate learning and adoption.

Quick Start

Start by reviewing the Getting Started and framework reference files in references/ to begin integrating ATH components into your Crystal project.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build modular web applications in Crystal?▼

To build modular Crystal web apps, you compose Athena Framework components like ATH for full-stack features, ADI for dependency injection, and ART for routing, enabling flexible, scalable architectures.

What is dependency injection in Crystal and how does it work?▼

Dependency injection in Crystal is handled by the ADI component, which provides inversion of control and service wiring to organize core components into a coherent ecosystem within Athena Framework.

Can I use Athena Framework components for REST APIs and CLI tools?▼

Yes, Athena Framework components support building REST APIs, web apps, CLI tools via ACON, and microservice components in Crystal projects, either as standalone components or combined for scalable architectures.

What's the best way to handle HTTP routing and data validation in Crystal?▼

The best way to handle HTTP routing and data validation in Crystal is using Athena's ART component for routing and AVD component for enforcing data integrity, ensuring robust, modular web application architecture.

How do I start integrating Athena Framework into my Crystal project?▼

Start by reviewing the Getting Started and framework reference files in the references/ directory, which provide API details and examples to accelerate integration of ATH components into your Crystal project.

Do I need to install all Athena Framework components to build a Crystal web app?▼

No, you can use Athena Framework components standalone or combine them for scalable architectures, mixing ATH, ADI, ART, ASR, AVD, ACON, and AED as needed for your specific use case.
