In the previous step, we have the reference API light-router configuration done, and the API can be accessed through the lightapi.net domain with HTTPS/HTTP2. In this step, we are going to add a new dynamic-single.json for a form that accesses to the reference API with table name as role First, we will run the example from the local desktop. The port number is 3000, as it is a create-react-app application. Read More »

In the previous step, we have [deployed][] the reference API with docker-compose. However, the instance on test2 is not exposed to the Internet for security reasons. It has to be accessed from the light-portal server with virtual host configuration in the light-router instance. The light-router can enable security and all other tracing, metrics, etc. Also, it can host the single-page applications so that there is no need to wire in the CORS handler. Read More »

In the previous step, we have mocked one of the handlers to return role and client dropdown menus. We have tested locally with curl, and it works. In this step, we are going to dockerize the application and deploy it to the test cloud so that anybody can access it from the Internet. Build Docker Image To build the docker image and publish it to the hub.docker.com, use the following command from the project root folder. Read More »

In the previous step, we have the project generated in the light-reference folder. In this step, we are going to update the generated RdataHostGetHandler.java to mock the output. package com.networknt.reference.handler; import com.networknt.handler.LightHttpHandler; import io.undertow.server.HttpServerExchange; import io.undertow.util.HttpString; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; public class RdataHostGetHandler implements LightHttpHandler { @Override public void handleRequest(HttpServerExchange exchange) throws Exception { String host = exchange.getQueryParameters().get("host").getFirst(); String name = exchange.getQueryParameters().get("name").getFirst(); String result = "{\"key\":\"value\"}"; if("com.networknt".equals(host)) { if("role".equals(name)) { result = "[{\"admin\":\"admin\"},{\"user\":\"user\"}]"; } else if("client".

Before building the reference API, we need to define the specification, which is the contract with the consumer. This is a RESTful API, and we are going to use the swagger-editor to create it. The final specification can be found at https://github.com/networknt/model-config/tree/master/rest/light-reference Along with openapi.yaml, there is a config.json to control how to generate the code from light-codegen. In the README.md, there is a command-line to show users how to use the locally built light-codegen to generate the light-reference project. Read More »
