|

Most of the management is done for you using a configuration file describing your API. you're left with implementing :
|
||||
- handlers
|
||||
- optionnally middle-wares (_e.g. authentication, csrf_)
|
||||
- and optionnally your custom type checkers to check input parameters
|
||||
|
||||
> A example project is available [here](https://git.xdrm.io/go/articles-api)

The aicra server fulfills the `net/http` [Server interface](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Server).

|

|
||||
|
||||
#### 1) Main executable
|
||||
### 1) Build a server
|
||||
|
||||
Your main executable will declare and run the aicra server, it might look quite like the code below.
|
||||
Here is some sample code that builds and sets up an aicra server using your api configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"log"
|
||||
"net/http"
|
||||
"log"
|
||||
"net/http"
|
||||
"os"

||||

|
||||
"git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/datatype"
|

"git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/datatype/builtin"
|
||||
"git.xdrm.io/go/aicra"
|
||||
"git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/api"
|
||||
"git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/datatype/builtin"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
|
||||
// 1. select your datatypes (builtin, custom)
|
||||
var dtypes []datatype.T
|
||||
dtypes = append(dtypes, builtin.AnyDataType{})
|
||||
dtypes = append(dtypes, builtin.BoolDataType{})
|
||||
dtypes = append(dtypes, builtin.UintDataType{})
|
||||
dtypes = append(dtypes, builtin.StringDataType{})
|
||||
builder := &aicra.Builder{}
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. create the server from the configuration file
|
||||
server, err := aicra.New("path/to/your/api/definition.json", dtypes...)
|
||||
// add datatypes your api uses
|
||||
builder.AddType(builtin.BoolDataType{})
|
||||
builder.AddType(builtin.UintDataType{})
|
||||
builder.AddType(builtin.StringDataType{})
|
||||
|
||||
config, err := os.Open("./api.json")
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
log.Fatalf("cannot built aicra server: %s\n", err)
|
||||
log.Fatalf("cannot open config: %s", err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. bind your implementations
|
||||
server.HandleFunc(http.MethodGet, "/path", func(req api.Request, res *api.Response){
|
||||
// ... process stuff ...
|
||||
res.SetError(api.ErrorSuccess());
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// 4. extract to http server
|
||||
httpServer, err := server.ToHTTPServer()
|
||||
// pass your configuration
|
||||
err = builder.Setup(config)
|
||||
config.Close()
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
log.Fatalf("cannot get to http server: %s", err)
|
||||
log.Fatalf("invalid config: %s", err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// 4. launch server
|
||||
log.Fatal( http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8080", server) )
|
||||
// bind your handlers
|
||||
builder.Bind(http.MethodGet, "/user/{id}", getUserById)
|
||||
builder.Bind(http.MethodGet, "/user/{id}/username", getUsernameByID)
|
||||
|
||||
// build the server and start listening
|
||||
server, err := builder.Build()
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
log.Fatalf("cannot build server: %s", err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8080", server)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example handler
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type req struct{
|
||||
Param1 int
|
||||
Param3 *string // optional are pointers
|
||||
}
|
||||
type res struct{
|
||||
Output1 string
|
||||
Output2 bool
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2) API Configuration
|
||||
func myHandler(r req) (*res, api.Error) {
|
||||
err := doSomething()
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
return nil, api.ErrorFailure
|
||||
}
|
||||
return &res{}, api.ErrorSuccess
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

### 2) API Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The whole api behavior is described inside a json file (_e.g. usually api.json_). For a better understanding of the format, take a look at this working [template](https://git.xdrm.io/go/articles-api/src/master/api.json). This file defines :
|
||||
|
||||
- routes and their methods
|
||||
- every input for each method (called *argument*)
|
||||
- every output for each method
|
||||
- scope permissions (list of permissions needed by clients)
|
||||
- input policy :
|
||||
- type of argument (_i.e. for data types_)
|
||||
- type of argument (_c.f. data types_)
|
||||
- required/optional
|
||||
- variable renaming

###### Definition

The root of the json file must be an array containing your requests definitions.

For each, you will have to create fields described in the table above.

|

|

| field path | description | example |
|
||||
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `info` | A short human-readable description of what the method does | `create a new user` |
|
||||
| `scope` | A 2-dimensional array of permissions. The first dimension can be translated to a **or** operator, the second dimension as a **and**. It allows you to combine permissions in complex ways. | `[["A", "B"], ["C", "D"]]` can be translated to : this method needs users to have permissions (A **and** B) **or** (C **and** D) |
|
||||
| `in` | The list of arguments that the clients will have to provide. See [here](#input-arguments) for details. | |
|
||||
| `out` | The list of output data that will be returned by your controllers. It has the same syntax as the `in` field but is only use for readability purpose and documentation. | |

##### Input Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
###### 1. Input types
|
||||
### Input Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
Input arguments defines what data from the HTTP request the method needs. Aicra is able to extract 3 types of data :
|
||||
|
||||
- **URI** - Curly Braces enclosed strings inside the request path. For instance, if your controller is bound to the `/user/{id}` URI, you can set the input argument `{id}` matching this uri part.
|
||||
- **URI** - data from inside the request path. For instance, if your controller is bound to the `/user/{id}` URI, you can set the input argument `{id}` matching this uri part.
|
||||
- **Query** - data formatted at the end of the URL following the standard [HTTP Query](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.4) syntax.
|
||||
- **URL encoded** - data send inside the body of the request but following the [HTTP Query](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.4) syntax.
|
||||
- **Multipart** - data send inside the body of the request with a dedicated [format](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2388#section-3). This format is not very lightweight but allows you to receive data as well as files.

In this example we want 3 arguments :

- the 3^rd^ can be send with a **JSON** body, in **multipart** or **URL encoded** it makes no difference and only give clients a choice over the technology to use. If not renamed, the variable will be given to the handler with the name `content`.

### III/ Change Log
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] human-readable json configuration
|
||||
- [x] nested routes (*i.e. `/user/:id:` and `/user/post/:id:`*)
|
||||
- [x] nested URL arguments (*i.e. `/user/:id:` and `/user/:id:/post/:id:`*)
|
||||
- [x] useful http methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
|
||||
- [x] manage URL, query and body arguments:
|
||||
- [x] multipart/form-data (variables and file uploads)
|
||||
- [x] application/x-www-form-urlencoded
|
||||
- [x] application/json
|
||||
- [x] required vs. optional parameters with a default value
|
||||
- [x] parameter renaming
|
||||
- [x] generic type check (*i.e. implement custom types alongside built-in ones*)
|
||||
- [ ] built-in types
|
||||
- [x] `any` - wildcard matching all values
|
||||
- [x] `int` - see go types
|
||||
- [x] `uint` - see go types
|
||||
- [x] `float` - see go types
|
||||
- [x] `string` - any text
|
||||
- [x] `string(min, max)` - any string with a length between `min` and `max`
|
||||
- [ ] `[a]` - array containing **only** elements matching `a` type
|
||||
- [ ] `[a:b]` - map containing **only** keys of type `a` and values of type `b` (*a or b can be ommited*)
|
||||
- [x] generic controllers implementation (shared objects)
|
||||
- [x] response interface
|
||||
- [x] log bound resources when building the aicra server
|
||||
- [x] fail on check for unimplemented resources at server boot.
|
||||
- [x] fail on check for unavailable types in api.json at server boot.
|
||||
- the 1^st^ one is send at the end of the URI and is a number compliant with the `int` type checker. It is renamed `article_id`, this new name will be sent to the handler.
