Chapter 3. Creating a Fuse Online integration that is triggered by an API call

Procedure

1. If you are using Fuse Online, skip to step 2.

   If you are using Fuse on OpenShift:

   1. Log in to your OpenShift web console and then open the project that contains Apicurito.

   2. In the list of applications, click the URL for Apicurito, for example https://apicurito-myproject.192.168.64.43.nip.io

      

      A new browser window or tab opens for Apicurito:

      
      Note

      Because Apicurito is a “light” version of the Apicurio Studio open source project, "Apicurio" shows in the Apicurito interface.

2. Click New API. A new API page opens.

3. To change the API name:

   1. Hover the cursor over the name and then click the edit icon ( ) that appears.
   2. Edit the name. For example, type Task API.
   3. Confirm the name change.

4. Optionally:

   • Add your contact information (name, email address, and URL).
   • Select a license.
   • Define tags.
   • Define a security scheme.
   • Specify security requirements.

5. Define a relative path to each individual endpoint of the API. The field name must begin with a slash (/).

   For the Task Management API example, create two paths:

   • A path for tasks: /todo

   • A path for a specific task by ID: /todo/{id}

     

6. Specify the type of any path parameters.

   For the example id parameter:

   1. In the Paths list, click /todo/{id}.

      The id parameter appears in the PATH PARAMETERS section.

   2. Click Create.
   3. For the description, type: The ID of the task to find.

   4. For the type, select integer as 32-Bit integer.

      

7. In the Data Types section, define reusable types for the API.

   1. Click Add a data type.
   2. In the Add Data Type dialog, type a name. For the Task Management API example, type Todo.

   3. Optionally, you can provide an example from which Apicurito creates the data type’s schema. You can then edit the generated schema.

      For the Task Management API example, start with the following JSON example:

      {
          "id": 1,
          "task": "my task",
          "completed": false
      }

   4. Optionally, you can choose to create a REST Resource with the data type.

   5. Click Save. If you provided an example, Apicurito generates a schema from the example:

      
8. Optionally, you can add edit the schema properties and add new ones.

9. For the Task Management API example, create another data type named Task with one property named task of type string.

   

10. For each path, define operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS, HEAD, or PATCH).

    For the Task Management API example, define the operations as described in the following table:

    Table 3.1. Task Management API oeprations

    Path	Operation	Description	Request	Response
    /todo	POST	Create a new task.	Request Body type: Task	Status Code: 201 Description: Task created Response Body: Todo type
    /todo/{id}	GET	Get a task by ID.	Not applicable	Status Code: 200 Description: Task found for ID Response Body: Todo type
    /todo/{id}	DELETE	Delete a task by ID.	Not applicable	Status Code: 200 Description: Task deleted Status Code: 400 Description: Task not deleted

11. Resolve any issues, as described in Section 3.3.1.2, “Resolving issues in Apicurito”.

12. For Fuse on OpenShift only, save your API specification by clicking Save As and then select JSON or YAML format.

    The JSON or YAML file is downloaded to your local download folder. The default filename is openapi-spec with the appropriate file extension.

Procedure

1. Find an issue indicated by an exclamation (!) icon. For example:

   

2. Click the exclamation icon to view a description of the issue. For example:

   

3. Based on the information provided by the issue description, navigate to the location of the issue and fix it.

   For example, open the GET operation and then add a response.

   

   After you add a description, the issue is resolved and the exclamation icon disappears:

   

4. For a summary of all issues:

   1. Click the Issues link in the upper right corner.

      

   2. Click Go to a problem for a specific issue to go to the location of the issue so that you can resolve it.
