Light Reference Router Config

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.

For the test cloud environment, the light-router is deployed to the portal VM, and the configuration files can be found at light-config-test repository.

Let’s add /rdata/{host} endpoint to the handler.yml in the test-portal/config folder.

handler.yml

  - path: '/rdata/{host}'
    method: 'GET'
    exec:
      - noauth

We need to update the pathPrefixService.yml file to add path prefix /rdata and service mapping.

pathPrefixService.yml

# Whether to enable PathPrefixServiceHandler
enabled: true

# mapping from request path prefixes to serviceIds
mapping:
  /faucet: io.taiji.faucet-1.0.0
  /api/webclient: io.taiji.server-1.0.0
  /oauth2/service: com.networknt.oauth2-service-1.0.0
  /oauth2/user: com.networknt.oauth2-user-1.0.0
  /oauth2/password: com.networknt.oauth2-user-1.0.0
  /oauth2/client: com.networknt.oauth2-client-1.0.0
  /oauth2/token: com.networknt.oauth2-token-1.0.0
  /oauth2/code: com.networknt.oauth2-code-1.0.0
  /oauth2/key: com.networknt.oauth2-key-1.0.0
  /rdata: com.networknt.reference-1.0.0

check the handler.yml and pathPrefixService.yml in and open a session to the portal server.

ssh portal
cd ~/networknt/light-config-test
git pull origin master
cd light-router/test-portal
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

Now, let’s issue a curl command to see if the API is accessed from the Internet.

curl https://lightapi.net/rdata/com.networknt?name=role
[{"admin":"admin"},{"user":"user"}]

The result means the API server is working. In the next step, we are going to update the example of react-schema-form-rc-select to leverage this server for some dropdowns.
