Arbuscular

The ultra-lightweight API server 😋

Architecture

Setup

Create arbuscular.yaml at the top level of your Node.js project and write the following.

port: 3000
interfaces:
  - contextPath: "example"
    interface: "./open-api.yaml"
    route: "./route.yaml"
    authentication:
      module: "./authentication.js"
      function: "authenticate"
    authorization:
      module: "./authorization.js"
      function: "authorize"

• open-api.yaml is the OpenAPI definition file in your Node.js project.
  • At least OAuth2 clientCredentials must be defined in components.securitySchemes.
• route.yaml associates the request URL with the JS module in your Node.js project.
• authentication.js is the OAuth authentication (client credentials grant) implementation in your Node.js project.
• authenticate is a function of authentication.js and is the logic that performs authentication.
• authorization.js is the OAuth authorization implementation in your Node.js project.
• authorize is a function of authorization.js and is the logic that performs authorization.

route.yaml is defined as follows.

/users:
  GET:
    module: ./logic/users.js
    function: getUsers
  POST:
    module: ./logic/users.js
    function: addUser

Finally, npm install arbuscular in your Node.js project and npx arbuscular will start the API server on the specified port.
