# GROOT

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/acm-uiuc/groot-api-gateway.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/acm-uiuc/groot-api-gateway)

This repo contains the API Gateway written in Fall of 2015
It provides the following capabilities:
* Easy registration of services
* Universal Authentication for the entire application - via an external authentication provided (Atlassian crowd)
* Proxying API calls
* Managing inter-service communication

When registering as service specify the data encoding and when requesting a resource though groot make the request using json.

## RUNNING GROOT

Add the API spec in a new file (ex. todo.go) in the services package

There is a set of proxy api calls defined by the Arbor framework which the API Gateway is written in.

AS OF 4/24/17
```go
/**
* Pass the http Request from the client and the ResponseWriter it expects
* Pass the target url of the backend service (not the url the client called)
* Pass the format of the service
* Pass a authorization token (optional)
* Will call the service and return the result to the client.
**/
arbor.GET(w http.ResponseWriter, url string, format string, token string, r *http.Request)
```
```go
/**
* Pass the http Request from the client and the ResponseWriter it expects
* Pass the target url of the backend service (not the url the client called)
* Passes the encoded json(only format currently supported) to the service.
* Pass a authorization token (optional)
* Will call the service and return the result to the client.
**/
arbor.POST(w http.ResponseWriter, url string, format string, token string, r *http.Request)
```
```go
/**
* Pass the http Request from the client and the ResponseWriter it expects
* Pass the target url of the backend service (not the url the client called)
* Passes the encoded json(only format currently supported) to the service.
* Pass a authorization token (optional)
* Will call the service and return the result to the client.
**/
arbor.PUT(w http.ResponseWriter, url string, format string, token string, r *http.Request)
```
```go
/**
* Pass the http Request from the client and the ResponseWriter it expects
* Pass the target url of the backend service (not the url the client called)
* Pass a authorization token (optional)
* Will call the service and return the result to the client.
**/
arbor.DELETE(w http.ResponseWriter, url string, format string, token string, r *http.Request)
```

All secret data should be kept in a file called config.go in the config directory

Make sure you have go dependencey management installed

```
go get github.com/golang/dep/...
```

Install Dependencies [First time setup]

```sh
dep ensure
```

Compile the service

```sh
./build.sh
```

## CLI
```sh
groot-api-gateway [-r | --register-client client_name] [-c | --check-registration token] [-u | --unsecured]
```

-r | --register-client *client_name*
> registers a client, generates a token

-c | --check-registration *token*
> checks if a token is valid and returns name of client

-u | --unsecured
> runs groot without the security layer

*without args*
> runs groot with the security layer

## Docker

#### Creating a client key:
```
docker-compose run groot-api-gateway ./build/groot-api-gateway -r
```

#### Checking a client key:
```
docker-compose run groot-api-gateway ./build/groot-api-gateway -c
```

#### Config Values
To allow all services to work with the docker network, make sure to set these values in `config.go`:
```go
//Service hosts
const CreditsURL = "http://groot-credits-service:8765"
const EventsURL = "http://groot-events-service:8002"
const GigsURL = "http://groot-gigs-service:8964"
const GroupsURL = "http://groot-groups-service:9001"
const HardwareURL = "http://groot:4523/api/v1.0"
const MemesURL = "http://groot-meme-service:42069"
const MerchURL = "http://groot-merch-service:6969"
const QuotesURL = "http://groot-quotes-service:9494"
const RecruiterURL = "http://groot-recruiters-service:4567"
const UsersURL = "http://groot-users-service:8001"

//Arbor configurations
func LoadArborConfig() {
security.AccessLogLocation = "/var/groot-api-gateway/access.log"
security.ClientRegistryLocation = "/var/groot-api-gateway/clients.db"
proxy.AccessControlPolicy = "*"
}
```
