apid-core

apid-core is a library that provides a container for publishing APIs that provides core services to its plugins including configuration, API publishing, data access, and a local pub/sub event system.

Disambiguation: You might be looking for the executable builder, apid.

Services

apid provides the following services:

  • apid.API()
  • apid.Config()
  • apid.Data()
  • apid.Events()
  • apid.Log()

Initialization of services and plugins

A driver process must initialize apid and its plugins like this:

apid.Initialize(factory.DefaultServicesFactory()) // when done, all services are available
apid.InitializePlugins() // when done, all plugins are running
api := apid.API() // access the API service
err := api.Listen() // start the listener

Once apid.Initialize() has been called, all services are accessible via the apid package functions as details above.

Plugins

The only requirement of an apid plugin is to register itself upon init(). However, generally plugins will access the Log service and some kind of driver (via API or Events), so it's common practice to see something like this:

var log apid.LogService
 
func init() {
  apid.RegisterPlugin(initPlugin)
}

func initPlugin(services apid.Services) error {

  log = services.Log().ForModule("myPluginName") // note: could also access via `apid.Log().ForModule()`
  
  services.API().HandleFunc("/verifyAPIKey", handleRequest)
}

func handleRequest(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  // respond to request
}
