Volos-Swagger-Apply

This module allows you add and configure Volos API policies without writing any code - just by declaring it in the Swagger in your Swagger-Node project. The following policies are currently supported by this module:

• Analytics
• Cache
• Quota
• Spike arrest

Analytics is Apigee-specific, but every other policy is available as an in-memory and Redis provider as well as through Apigee Edge.

Installation

1. Add the volos-swagger-apply module to your fittings directory. The easiest way to do this presently is to use npm install to install the module (to node_modules) and then move it to your fittings directory. For example, assuming you are in your main project directory, you can perform the following steps:

npm install volos-swagger-apply
mkdir api/fittings
mv node_modules/volos-swagger-apply api/fittings

2. Add the volos modules you plan use to your application dependencies. We'll be setting an in-memory quota, so we'll add the volos-quota-memory module to our dependencies. Example:

npm install --save volos-quota-memory

3. Add the volos_apply fitting to your pipe (config/default.yaml). I suggest placing it just before your controller router:

    swagger_controllers:
      - onError: json_error_handler
      - cors
      - swagger_security
      - _swagger_validate
      - express_compatibility
      - volos-swagger-apply               # <- RUN HERE
      - _router

4. Add the x-volos-resources extension tag to your Swagger with your policy configuration:

x-volos-resources:
  MyQuota:
    provider: volos-quota-memory
    options:
      timeUnit: minute
      interval: 1
      allow: 1

5. Add the "x-volos-apply" tag to any paths or operations on your Swagger you would like your policy to apply it to along with any configuration that is necessary:

paths:
  /hello:
    x-volos-apply:
        MyQuota: {}
