JavaScript client library for the [Apache OpenWhisk](https://github.com/apache/openwhisk) platform.
Provides a wrapper around the [OpenWhisk APIs](https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/fb001afa237476eda0c0f6494ee92702e5986538/core/controller/src/main/resources/apiv1swagger.json) (Swagger JSON).

## installation

```bash
$ npm install openwhisk
```

## usage

### within openwhisk platform

This client library can use environment parameters to automatically configure the authentication credentials, platform endpoint and namespace. These parameters are defined within the Node.js runtime environment in OpenWhisk. Unless you want to override these values, you can construct the client instance without further configuration.

```javascript
var openwhisk = require('openwhisk');

function action() {
  var ow = openwhisk();
  return ow.actions.invoke('sample')
}

exports.main = action
```

_All methods return a Promise resolved asynchronously with the results. Failures are available through the catch method._

```javascript
ow.resource.operation()
  .then(function () { /* success! */ })
  .catch(function (err) { /* failed! */ })
```

Users can override default constructor parameters by passing in explicit options as shown in the example below.

### outside openwhisk platform

```javascript
var openwhisk = require('openwhisk');
var options = {apihost: 'openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net', api_key: '...'};
var ow = openwhisk(options);
ow.actions.invoke('sample').then(result => console.log(result))
```

#### using 3rd party authentication handler
You can specify an authentication handler in `options.auth_handler` this is an object that provides a function `getAuthHeader` that returns a Promise resolving to a string to be used in the `Authorization` http header for every http request.
```javascript
const authHandler = {
  getAuthHeader: ()=>{
    return Promise.resolve('Basic user:password')
  }
}
var openwhisk = require('openwhisk');
var options = {
  apihost: 'openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net',
  auth_handler: authHandler
}
var ow = openwhisk(options)
ow.actions.invoke('sample').then(result => console.log(result))
```

### constructor options

_Client constructor supports the following mandatory parameters:_

- **apihost.** Hostname and optional port for openwhisk platform, e.g. `openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net` or `my_whisk_host:80`. Used with API URL template `${protocol}://${apihost}/api/v1/`. If port is missing or port value is 443 in the apihost string, protocol is HTTPS. Otherwise, protocol is HTTP.
- **api_key.** Authorisation key for user account registered with OpenWhisk platform.

*Client constructor supports the following optional parameters:*

- **api.** Full API URL for OpenWhisk platform, e.g. `https://openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net/api/v1/`. This value overrides `apihost` if both are present.
- **apiversion** Api version for the OpenWhisk platform, e.g. the `v1` in `https://openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net/api/v1/`, when used with `apihost` (and `api` is not set)
- **namespace**. Namespace for resource requests, defaults to `_`.
- **ignore_certs**. Turns off server SSL/TLS certificate verification. This allows the client to be used against local deployments of OpenWhisk with a self-signed certificate. Defaults to false.
- **apigw_token**. API Gateway service authentication token. This is mandatory for using an external API Gateway service, rather than the built-in api gateway.
- **apigw_space_guid**. API Gateway space identifier. This is optional when using an API gateway service, defaults to the authentication uuid.
- **cert**. Client cert to use when connecting to the `apihost` (if `nginx_ssl_verify_client` is turned on in your apihost)
- **key**. Client key to use when connecting to the `apihost` (if `nginx_ssl_verify_client` is turned on in your apihost)
- **proxy.** HTTP(s) URI for proxy service to forwards requests through. Uses Needle's [built-in proxy support](https://github.com/tomas/needle#request-options).
- **agent.** Provide custom [http.Agent](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_agent) implementation.
- **retry**. Provide a retry options to retry on errors, for example, `{ retries: 2 }`. By default, no retries will be done. Uses [async-retry options](https://github.com/vercel/async-retry#api). Default values are different from async-retry, please refer to the API doc.

### environment variables

Client constructor will read values for the `apihost`, `namespace`, `api_key`, `ignore_certs`, `apigw_token` and `apigw_space_guid` options from the environment if the following parameters are set. Explicit options have precedence over environment values.

- *__OW_API_HOST*
- *__OW_NAMESPACE*
- *__OW_API_KEY*
- *__OW_IGNORE_CERTS*
- *__OW_APIGW_TOKEN*
- *__OW_APIGW_SPACE_SUID*
- *__OW_USER_AGENT*

### User-Agent

A User-Agent header may be specified to be passed along with all calls
to OpenWhisk. This can be helpful, if you wish to discriminate client
traffic to your OpenWhisk backend. By default, the header will have
the value `openwhisk-client-js`. You may override this by passing
along a `'User-Agent'` field in the options structure of any API
calls; note that this is *not* a constructor argument, but rather an
option to the API calls themselves. For example, one might specify a
`myClient` user agent to an action invocation as follows:

```javascript
ow.actions.invoke({ 'User-Agent': 'myClient', name, params })
```

In some cases, you may need to have *no* User-Agent header. To
override the default header behavior, you may pass `noUserAgent: true`
in your options structure, e.g.

```javascript
ow.actions.invoke({ noUserAgent: true, name, params })
```

### Working with a Proxy

If you are working behind a firewall, HTTP(s) proxy details can be set by using the `proxy` option in the constructor parameters with the proxy service URI, e.g. `http://proxy-server.com:3128`. The proxy URI can also be set using the following environment parameters (to set a proxy without changing application code):

- *proxy or PROXY*
 - *http_proxy or HTTP_PROXY*
- *https_proxy or HTTPS_proxy*

If you need more advanced proxy behaviour, rather than using Needle's default [built-in HTTP agent](https://github.com/tomas/needle), the `agent` constructor parameter can be used to set a custom `http.Agent` implementation, e.g [proxy-agent](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-proxy-agent "proxy-agent Github page")

## Examples

### invoke action, blocking for result

```javascript
const name = 'reverseWords'
const blocking = true, result = true
const params = {msg: 'these are some words to reverse'}

ow.actions.invoke({name, blocking, result, params}).then(result => {

}).catch(err => {
  console.error('failed to bind package', err)
})
```

ow.feeds.create({name, trigger, params}).then(package => {
  console.log('alarm trigger feed created')
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('failed to create alarm trigger', err)
})
```

## API Details

### resource identifiers + namespaces

When passing resource identifiers as parameters you can either use a short name, without an explicit namespace, or a fully-qualified identifier, including namespace and package details.

If the namespace is missing from the resource identifier, the client will use the namespace from configuration options following this ordering.

- `namespace` from method parameter options OR
- `namespace` from options passed into client constructor OR
- `namespace` from environment variable (`__OW_NAMESPACE`) OR
- default namespace: `_`

### list resources

```javascript
ow.actions.list()
ow.activations.list()
ow.triggers.list()
ow.rules.list()
ow.namespaces.list()
ow.packages.list()
```

Query parameters for the API calls are supported (e.g. limit, skip, count etc.) by passing an object with the named parameters as the first argument.

```javascript
ow.actions.list({skip: 100, limit: 50})
```

To count the number of resources without retrieving the resources you can use `count` query parameter.
```javascript
ow.actions.list({count:true})
```

The following optional parameters are supported:
- `namespace` - set custom namespace for endpoint

### retrieve resource

```javascript
ow.actions.get({name: '...'})
ow.activations.get({name: '...'})
ow.triggers.get({name: '...'})
ow.rules.get({name: '...'})
ow.packages.get({name: '...'})
ow.feeds.get({name: '...', trigger: '...'})
```

The following optional parameters are supported for all resource retrievals:
- `namespace` - set custom namespace for endpoint

Optional parameters for action resource retrievals are shown below:
- `code` - set to `true` or `false` depending on whether action code should be included or excluded respectively

This method also supports passing the `name` property directly without wrapping within an object.
```javascript
const name = "actionName"
ow.actions.get(name)
```

If you pass in an array for the first parameter, the `get` call will be executed for each array item. The function returns a Promise which resolves with the results when all operations have finished.

```javascript
ow.actions.get(["a", {name: "b"}])
```

### delete resource

```javascript
ow.actions.delete({name: '...'})
ow.triggers.delete({name: '...'})
ow.rules.delete({name: '...'})
ow.packages.delete({name: '...'})
ow.feeds.delete({name: '...', trigger: '...'})
```

The following optional parameters are supported:
- `namespace` - set custom namespace for endpoint

This method also supports passing the `name` property directly without wrapping within an object.

```javascript
const name = "actionName"
ow.actions.delete(name)
```

If you pass in an array for the first parameter, the `delete` call will be executed for each array item. The function returns a Promise which resolves with the results when all operations have finished.

```javascript
ow.actions.delete(["a", {name: "b"}])
```

### invoke action

```javascript
ow.actions.invoke({name: '...'})
```

The `actionName` parameter supports the following formats: `actionName`, `package/actionName`, `/namespace/actionName`, `/namespace/package/actionName`.

If `actionName` includes a namespace, this overrides any other `namespace` properties.

The following optional parameters are supported:
- `blocking` - delay returning until action has finished executing (default: `false`)
- `result` - return function result (`obj.response.result`) rather than entire API result (default: `false`)
- `params` - JSON object containing parameters for the action being invoked (default: `{}`)
- `namespace` - set custom namespace for endpoint

This method also supports passing the `name` property directly without wrapping within an object.

```javascript
const name = "actionName"
ow.actions.invoke(name)
```

If you pass in an array for the first parameter, the `invoke` call will be executed for each array item. The function returns a Promise which resolves with the results when all operations have finished.

```javascript
ow.actions.invoke(["a", {name: "b", blocking: true}])
```

### create & update action

```javascript
ow.actions.create({name: '...', action: 'function main() {};'})
ow.actions.update({name: '...', action: 'function main() {};'})
```

The following mandatory parameters are supported:
- `name` - action identifier
- `action` - String containing JS function source code, Buffer [containing package action zip file](https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk/blob/master/docs/actions.md#packaging-an-action-as-a-nodejs-module) or JSON object containing full parameters for the action body

The following optional parameters are supported:

- `annotations` - object containing annotations for the action (default: `{}`)
- `limits` - object containing limits for the action (default: `{}`)
- `kind` - runtime environment parameter, ignored when `action` is an object (default: `nodejs:default`)

If you pass in an array for the first parameter, the `create` call will be executed for each array item. The function returns a Promise which resolves with the results when all operations have finished.

```javascript
ow.actions.create([{...}, {...}])
```

### create & update action sequence

```javascript
ow.actions.create({name: '...', sequence: ["action_name", "next_action", ...]})
ow.actions.update({name: '...', sequence: ["action_name", "next_action", ...]})
```

The following mandatory parameters are supported:

- `name` - action identifier
- `sequence` - Array containing JS strings with action identifiers to use in sequence. This can be a full or relative action identifier (e.g. `action-name` or `/namespace/package/action-name`).

## api gateway

OpenWhisk supports a [built-in API gateway service](https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/docs/apigateway.md) and external third-party providers.

This client library defaults to using the platform service. If the `apigw_token` parameter is passed into the client constructor, the implementation will switch to the [IBM Bluemix API Gateway](https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/openwhisk/openwhisk_apigateway.html#openwhisk_apigateway).

*The interface for managing routes through the library does not change between providers.*

### retrieve route

```javascript
ow.routes.get({basepath: '...'})
ow.routes.get({name: '...'})
```

*This method is a wrapper for the list method. It throws an error if the base path or name parameter is missing.*

### list routes

```javascript
ow.routes.list()
```

The following optional parameters are supported to filter the result set:
- `relpath` - relative URI path for endpoints
- `basepath` - base URI path for endpoints
- `name` - identifier for API
- `operation` - HTTP methods
- `limit` - limit result set size
- `skip` - skip results from index

*`relpath` is only valid when `basepath` is also specified. `name` and `basepath` cannot be used together.*

### delete routes

```javascript
ow.routes.delete({basepath: '...'})
ow.routes.delete({name: '...'})
```

The following optional parameters are supported to filter the result set:
- `relpath` - relative URI path for endpoints
- `operation` - HTTP methods

### add route
```javascript
ow.routes.create({relpath: '...', operation: '...', action: '...'})
```

*`action` supports normal (actionName) and fully-qualified (/namespace/actionName) formats.*

The following optional parameters are supported:
- `responsetype` - content type returned by web action, possible values: `html`, `http`, `json`, `text` and `svg` (default: `json`).
- `basepath` - base URI path for endpoints (default: `/`)
- `name` - identifier for API (default: `basepath`)
- `secure_key` - auth key for secure web action

### add route (swagger)

```javascript
ow.routes.create({swagger: '{...}'})
```

Swagger parameter must be a well-formed JSON string, containing a valid Swagger API definition, which follows the [OpenWhisk API Gateway route schema](https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-apigateway/blob/master/doc/v2/management_interface_v2.md#post-v2tenant_idapis).

*No other parameters are supported when creating the route from a JSON Swagger document.*

## Debugging

Setting an environment parameter (`DEBUG=needle`) will dump the HTTP requests from the client library and responses received to `stderr`.

```bash
DEBUG=needle node script.js
```

This parameter can also be set dynamically at runtime, provided this happens before the `openwhisk` module is required.

```javascript
process.env.DEBUG='needle';
var openwhisk = require('openwhisk');
```

## Development

### unit tests

```bash
$ npm run test:unit
```

### integration tests

*Please [see the instructions](https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk-client-js/tree/master/test/integration) for setting up the integration test environment prior to running these tests.*

```bash
$ npm run test:integration
```

**Note:** The test integration runs in secure mode by default, which means that all trusted signers must be present and available to the client process. If your local environment is using self-signed certificates, you can use the following command to start the script in insecure mode:

`__OW_INSECURE=true npm run test-integration`

This will disable SSL/TLS verification for all SSL communication.

### code coverage

Code coverage data for the unit and integration tests can be created using the following commands:

- `npm run coverage:unit`
- `npm run coverage:integration`

*Generated data in stored in the `.nyc_output` directory.*

Running the `npm run coverage:report` command will generate the output reports.
