🛠️ Unlock the power of programmable API Gateways - customize your APIs with JavaScript Modules

Sometimes existing APIs are well thought out and designed, sometimes clients are flexibles and can adapt to the API responses.

And sometimes everything goes wrong ...

In such cases, it can be really helpful to be able to customize things in a central place to keep everyone happy.

🚀 That's why we're thrilled to introduce our new feature : JavaScript Modules

This new feature in Cloud APIM Serverless empowers developers to tailor their APIs to their exact specifications.

🤔 What are JavaScript Modules ?

🔄 JavaScript Modules are reusable blocks of code written in JavaScript that can be easily integrated into your APIs.

These modules encapsulate specific functionality, such as data validation, transformation, or custom business logic, allowing you to enhance and extend the capabilities of your APIs.

💡 Why integrating JavaScript Modules ?

With JavaScript Modules, you have the freedom to customize every aspect of your API.

Whether you need to implement complex validation rules, transform data formats, or integrate with external services, JavaScript Modules provide a flexible and powerful solution.

By leveraging existing modules or creating your own, you can accelerate development and streamline maintenance, all while maintaining the scalability and reliability of your APIs.

🌟 Key Benefits of JavaScript Modules

Flexibility: JavaScript Modules enable you to adapt your APIs to meet the unique requirements of your applications and users.

Reusability: Reuse existing modules across multiple APIs to save time and effort in development.

Scalability: Scale your APIs effortlessly by leveraging modular architecture and distributed computing.

Maintainability: Simplify maintenance and updates by encapsulating logic in self-contained modules.

Innovation : Experiment with new features and functionality without disrupting existing APIs, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. 🚀

🏁 Getting Started with JavaScript Modules

Getting started with JavaScript Modules in Cloud APIM Serverless is easy.

Simply browse our library of pre-built modules or create your own using your favorite JavaScript framework.

💻 Integrate modules seamlessly into your APIs using our intuitive interface, and start unlocking the full potential of customization today.

1. Sign Up on Cloud APIM Serverless :

   Before setting up a Javascript Module, ensure you have created a project on Cloud APIM Serverless.

   If you haven't created one yet, follow these steps:

   • Log in to your Cloud APIM Serverless dashboard.

   • Click on "New project" and fill in your project name.

2. Create your first Module :

   • Navigate to the " modules" folder and create a new one.

     Your filename must ends by '.js'

     For example you can create a new file named 'first-module.js'

   • Copy and paste the following code and edit it as you wish

exports.on_backend_call = function (ctx) {
    return fetch(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos`)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(json => {
      return {
        status: 200,
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body_json: { 
          size: json.length, 
          data: json 
        }
      }
    })
};

3. Link your module to your route :

   • Select the "openapi.json" file

   • Choose the route you want to add the plugin or create a new route if you don't have one yet

   • In the ' plugins ' section let's choose Javascript Module Plugin

   • And now you just have to link the filename of your module

    {
      "module": "/modules/first-module.js"
    }

🎉 Conclusion

JavaScript Modules are a game-changer for API customization, offering unparalleled flexibility, reusability, and scalability.

With Cloud APIM Serverless, you have the tools you need to take your APIs to the next level and deliver exceptional experiences to your users.
