Kong Admin API Node.js Library

The Kong Admin API Node library provides convenient access to the Kong Admin API from applications written in server-side JavaScript.

Installation

Install the package with:

npm install @giovanibrioni/kong-admin-api-client --save

Usage

The package needs to be configured with your Admin API's URL.

const Kong = require('@giovanibrioni/kong-admin-api-client');

const adminAPIURL = 'http://localhost:8001';
// Create a new client with the default exported constructor
const kong = new Kong({ adminAPIURL });

The kong object has properties that correspond to all the Kong Admin API resources. The currently supported resources are:

• Services
• Routes
• Consumers
• Credentials

// use these objects to interface with the API
kong.services
kong.routes
kong.consumers

All of the resources have standard methods you can use to access the API:

• create
• get
• list
• update
• delete

// use the resource properties to interface with the API
// all the resources have the standard API methods
kong.services.get();
kong.routes.list();
kong.consumers.delete();
