REST APIs

Express is the most popular node web framework, which also serves as an underlying library for other popular node web frameworks. It offers mechanisms for:

• Write handlers for requests using various HTTP verbs at different URL paths/routes.
• Establish standard web application settings, such as the port to use for connection and the location of templates used for response rendering.
• Add additional request processing middleware at any point within the request handling pipeline.

The koiiNode.js under the _koiNode directory provides an app object for creating the REST APIs. Its usage can be demonstrated as below.

Example:

app.post("/accept-cid", async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const cid = req.body.cid;
    if (cid) {
      console.log("CID =" + cid);
      res.status(200).json({ message: "CID" });
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("CATCH IN ACCEPT CID", err);
  }
});

Express endpoints can be defined in the index.js file of your task-template

// import app from koiiNode.js file
const { app, namespaceWrapper } = require("../_koiiNode/koiiNode");

async function setup() {
  console.log("IN SETUP");
  await namespaceWrapper.defaultTaskSetup();
}

async function execute() {
  {
    /*EXECUTE FUNCTION GOES HERE*/
  }
}

setup().then(execute);

if (app) {
  app.post("/accept-cid", doSomething());
}
