HttpConnectionResolver

Helper class used to retrieve connections for HTTP-based services and clients.

Implements: IReferenceable, IConfigurable

Description

The HttpConnectionResolver class is used to retrieve connections for HTTP-based services and clients.

Important points

  • In addition to its regular functions, ConnectionResolver is able to parse http:// URIs and validate connection parameters before returning them.

Configuration parameters

  • connection:
    • discovery_key: (optional) key to retrieve the connection from IDiscovery
    • … : other connection parameters
  • connections: alternative to connection
    • [connection params 1]: first connection parameters
    • …
    • [connection params N]: Nth connection parameters
    • …

References

  • *:discovery:*:*:1.0 - (optional) IDiscovery services to resolve a connection

Fields

connectionResolver

Creates a connection resolver.

final connectionResolver: ConnectionResolver = ConnectionResolver()

credentialResolver

The base credential resolver.

final credentialResolver: CredentialResolver = CredentialResolver()

Instance methods

configure

Configures component by passing configuration parameters.

@override void configure(ConfigParams config)

  • config: ConfigParams - configuration parameters to be set.

register

Registers the given connection in all referenced discovery services. This method can be used for dynamic service discovery.

Future register(String? correlationId)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

resolve

Resolves a single component connection. If the connections are configured to be retrieved from Discovery service, it finds a IDiscovery and resolves the connection there.

Future<ConnectionParams?> resolve(String? correlationId)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
  • returns: Future<ConnectionParams?> - resolved connection.

resolveAll

Resolves all component connections. If the connections are configured to be retrieved from Discovery service, it finds a IDiscovery and resolves the connection there.

Future<List<ConnectionParams>> resolveAll(String? correlationId)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
  • returns: Future<List<ConnectionParams>> - resolved connections.

setReferences

Sets references to dependent components.

@override

void setReferences(IReferences references)

  • references: IReferences - references to locate the component’s dependencies.

Examples

var config = ConfigParams.fromTuples([
     'connection.host', '10.1.1.100',
     'connection.port', 8080
]);

var connectionResolver = HttpConnectionResolver();
connectionResolver.configure(config);
connectionResolver.setReferences(references);
var connection = connectionResolver.resolve('123',
      // Now use connection...
