A JSON Schemas Micro-Service based on Seneca

This provides a simple service that returns the JSON schema for a given typename.

This project is provides a simple example of how to use seneca for a useful micro-service. The main logic is in the seneca plugin src/ts/schemas-plugin.ts, which is contained in the JSON Schema service.

The Schema service consists of two parts:

• a JSON Schema service
  This takes a JSON request, looks up a schema from its typename, and returns it.
  This service wraps tv4-via-typenames-node
• a Web Schema service
  This takes a REST request, and passes a JSON request to the schemas service

A sequence diagram showing how this fits into a system:

Setup for Build

Run Service and Web API Server

In one command shell, run:

node schemas-pin-service.js --seneca.log=plugin:schemas

And in another command shell, run:

node schemas-app.js --seneca.log=plugin:web,plugin:api

Using a browser that can display JSON (I use the JSONView Chrome extension), Issue these queries that should return a schema:

• http://localhost:3000/api/schemas?typename=SHA1
• http://localhost:3000/api/schemas?typename=Draft-04

and this query that should return an error:

• http://localhost:3000/api/schemas?typename=Unicorn
