# Executor for [Runnerty]: HTTP

### Installation:

Through NPM

```bash
npm i @runnerty/executor-http
```

You can also add modules to your project with [runnerty]

```bash
npx runnerty add @runnerty/executor-http
```

This command installs the module in your project, adds example configuration in your [config.json] and creates an example plan of use.

If you have installed [runnerty] globally you can include the module with this command:

```bash
runnerty add @runnerty/executor-http
```

### Configuration sample:

Add in [config.json]:

```json
{
"id": "http_default",
"type": "@runnerty-executor-http"
}
```

### Plan sample:

Add in [plan.json]:

```json
{
"id": "http_default",
"headers": { "User-Agent": "runnerty" },
"method": "get",
"url": "https://api.github.com/search/repositories",
"params": { "q": "runnerty" },
"responseType": "json"
}
```

```json
{
"id": "http_default",
"headers": { "User-Agent": "runnerty" },
"url": "http://www.sample.com/form",
"method": "post",
"data": {
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2"
},
"responseType": "json",
"withCredentials": true
}
```

```json
{
"id": "http_default",
"headers": { "User-Agent": "runnerty" },
"url": "http://www.sample.com/uploadfile",
"method": "post",
"files": [
{ "name": "fileOne", "path": "/var/myfile.txt" },
{ "name": "fileTwo", "path": "/var/www/runnerty.jpg" }
],
"responseType": "json",
"returnHeaderDataOutput": true
}
```

```json
{
"id": "http_default",
"headers": { "User-Agent": "runnerty", "Content-Type": "application/xml" },
"method": "post",
"url": "https://sample.com/api-sample",
"auth": {
"username": "@GV(MY_USER_AUTH)",
"password": "@GV(MY_PASS_AUTH)"
},
"data": "@GV(SAMPLE_BODY)"
}
```

### Pagination:

It is possible to make calls to APIs that return `JSON` data that requires paging. The parameters available for paging are.

| Parameter | Description |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| start | page from which the query is initiated, by default 1 |
| limit | maximum elements per page |
| pages | total pages to consult |
| total | total items for automatic page calculation |
| total_from_header | header from which to get the total of items for automatic page calculation |
| total_from_response | params path of the response data from which to get the total of items for automatic page calculation |
| next_page_url_from_response | params path of the response data from which to get the url for the next page |
| token.query_param_name | name of parameter to send in url query with token of next page |
| token.data_param_name | name of the parameter to be sent in the body with the token of next page |
| token.next_token_from_response | params path of the response data from which to get the next page token |
| token.next_token_from_header | params path of the header data from which to get the next page token |

Some paginations examples:

```json
{
"id": "http_default",
"method": "get",
"url": "https://endpoint.sample.com/items",
"pagination": {
"limit": "2000",
"total_from_header": "x-total-items"
},
"responseType": "json",
"responseToFile": "/var/www/data/sample.json",
"noReturnDataOutput": true
}
```

```json
{
"id": "http_default",
"method": "get",
"url": "https://endpoint.sample.com/items",
"pagination": {
"limit": "2000",
"next_page_url_from_response": "paging.nextPage"
},
"responseType": "json",
"responseToFile": "/var/www/data/sample.json",
"noReturnDataOutput": true
}
```

```json
{
"id": "http_default",
"method": "get",
"url": "https://endpoint.sample.com/items",
"pagination": {
"limit": "2000",
"token": {
"next_token_from_response": "paging.continuationToken",
"query_param_name": "nextPageToken"
}
},
"responseType": "json",
"responseToFile": "/var/www/data/sample.json",
"noReturnDataOutput": true
}
```

### Output (Process values):

- `PROCESS_EXEC_DATA_OUTPUT`: Response output data.
It is possible to return the header response in dataoutput by activating the `returnHeaderDataOutput (boolean)` parameter
- `EXTRA_DATA`: If the response is a `JSON` it is possible to work with the parsed values of the response using the `"responseType": "json"` parameter. If we receive for example:

```json
{
"planet": {
"name": "Mars",
"satellites": [
{
"name": "phobos"
},
{
"name": "deimos"
}
]
}
}
```

It is possible to access the values by ([GETVALUE] function):
`PROCESS_EXEC_PLANET_NAME`: "Mars", `PROCESS_EXEC_PLANET_NAME_SATELLITES_1_NAME`:"phobos"

- `PROCESS_EXEC_ERR_OUTPUT`: Error output message.

### Other considerations

If the result is very large, you should consider using the "noReturnDataOutput" (boolean) property to prevent a large amount of data from entering memory and being interpreted by Runnerty, which could cause performance problems.

```json
{
"id": "http_default",
"headers": { "User-Agent": "runnerty" },
"method": "get",
"url": "http://host.com/big_file.zip",
"responseToFile": "/etc/runnerty/big_file.zip",
"noReturnDataOutput": true
}
```
