apidCRUD

apidCRUD is a plugin for apid. it handles CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) APIs, with a simple local database on the back end.

Status:

this is still a WIP, with some features unimplemented and still subject to change. more work is needed to make apidCRUD fully complaint with the Apigee API Style Guide.

Functional description

see the file swagger.yaml.

Apid Services Used

• Config Service
• Log Service
• API Service

Building apidCRUD

to build apidCRUD, run:

make install

for now, this just builds the standalone plugin application.

if go get errors occur during the glide install phase, try doing make update.

Running apidCRUD

for now, this runs apidCRUD in background, listening on localhost:9000.

make run

several configuration parameters are supported. see apid_config.yaml .

Running unit tests

this command runs all the unit tests, and also prints overall percent coverage.

make unit-test

when changes are pushed to github.com, make install and make unit-test are run automatically by travis-CI. see .travis.yml

Running functional tests

this command starts the server and runs tester.sh, which does a series of canned API calls exercising most of the currently-implemented APIs.

make func-test

there are also a handful of *test.sh scripts, each of which calls one of the APIs.

Adding new APIs

to add a new API:

• create definition in swagger.yaml. the definition should include an operationId. be sure to up the version number.
• upload the new swagger.yaml to apistudio.com .
• update the apistudio link in the Resources section of README.md .
• remove the generated file gen_swag.go to ensure that apiTable will be regenerated.
• put the new handler function in handlers.go, named after the operationId with "Handler" appended.
• add at least one unit test in handlers_test.go .
• add at least one functional test script in functests/ . modify tester.sh to call the new functional test.

Adding unit tests

this project follows the somewhat standard go testing pattern.

• unit test functions are placed in files whose names end with _test.go .
• generally (but not always), functions defined in FILE.go have their test functions located in FILE_test.go .
• FILE_test.go imports the module "testing".
• the test suite for a function named XYZ() is a function named Test_XYZ() .
• Test_XYZ() takes one argument t of type *testing.T .
• Test_XYZ() in turn may call other functions from FILE_test.go, to run the individual test cases.
• to report a test failure, call t.Errorf(fmt, ...) .
• generally, but not always, there may be a variable XYZ_Tab which is an array of test cases, each of type XYZ_TC .
• the type XYZ_TC has fields defining the test case: the function arguments, and the expected results of calling the function with those arguments.
• Test_XYZ() just uses a for/range statement to loop over the test cases.
• on each test case, the function XYZ_Checker() checks one test case.

Template:

// ----- unit tests for XYZ().

// inputs and outputs for one XYZ testcase.
type XYZ_TC struct {
	// CUSTOMIZE
	arg string
	result string
}

// table of XYZ testcases.
var XYZ_Tab = []XYZ_TC {
	// CUSTOMIZE
	{ "arg1", "result1" },
}

// run one testcase for function XYZ.
func XYZ_Checker(cx *testContext, tc *XYZ_TC) {
	// CUSTOMIZE
	result := XYZ(tc.arg)
	cx.assertEqual(tc.result, result)
}

// the XYZ test suite.  run all XYZ testcases.
func Test_XYZ(t *testing.T) {
	cx := newTestContext(t, "XYZ_Tab")
	for _, tc := range XYZ_Tab {
		XYZ_Checker(cx, &tc)
		cx.bump()	// increment testno.
	}
}

Code entry points

note that the code in this module can be invoked in at least 3 ways:

• as an apid plugin, called via apid.InitializePlugins() - see init.c, plugin.c . when called this way, initPlugin() uses configuration info from apid's config file.
• standalone test program - see cmd/apidCRUD/main.go, init.c, plugin.c . when called this way, initPlugin() uses configuration info from the apid_config.yaml file in this directory.
• thru unit test framework - see setup_test.go . when called this way, initPlugin() uses configuration info from utConfData in globals_test.go .
