How-To

There are 3 features in pipa gateway, proxy, parallel and chain.

PROXY

Proxy will forward your request to services.

{
   "GET /users": {
    "type": "proxy",
    "service":
      {
        "name": "users",
        "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users"
      }
  },
  "GET /user/:id": {
    "type": "proxy",
    "middlewares":["Auth.ensureAuth"],
    "service":
      {
        "name": "user",
        "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/:id"
      }
  }
}

PARALLEL

Parallel will request parallel to multilple services.

{
    "GET /parallel": {
        "type": "parallel",
        "services": [
          {
            "name": "user",
            "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users"
          },
          {
            "name": "post",
            "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
          }
        ]
    }
}

Chain

Chain will request chain to multiple services, the next request will process after previous request successfully and can set parameter to the next request based on result on previous request.

{
   "GET /chain/:id": {
    "type": "chain",
    "services": [
      {
        "name": "user",
        "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/:id"
      },
      {
        "name": "post",
        "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts?userId={user.id}",
        "body":{
          "userId":"{user.id}"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
