# HalfAPI
|
|
|
|
|
|
This Python-based ASGI application aims to provide the core functionality to
|
|
multiple API domains.
|
|
|
|
It's developed at the [LIRMM](https://lirmm.fr) in Montpellier, France.
|
|
|
|
The name "halfAPI" comes from the deep relationship between it and
|
|
[halfORM](https://gite.lirmm.fr/newsi/halfORM), a project authored by
|
|
[Joël Maizi](https://gite.lirmm.fr/maizi).
|
|
|
|
You'll need a database with the API details. You can find the database model in halfapi/models/api.sql
|
|
|
|
|
|
**NOTE : The authentication module is deeply linked with [auth_lirmm](https://gite.lirmm.fr/newsi/auth_lirmm), so if you need to use the acl.connected function, you will need a running auth_lirmm server to get a token.**
|
|
|
|
**TODO :** include a token generation tool for testing purpose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- python3
|
|
- python3-pip
|
|
- poetry
|
|
- uvicorn
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
`pip install .`
|
|
|
|
As the project uses the [poetry]() package manager, you first have to install it
|
|
for the current user. Be sur to have pip binary directory ($HOME/.local/bin)
|
|
included in your PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
`pip3 install poetry`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Be sur to include the bin directory of pip in your PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation of the deps :
|
|
|
|
|
|
`poetry install`
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you need a domain, i.e: organigramme, just add `-E organigramme` to the command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**NOTE : You need to run `poetry install` before installing any domains (that depends on halfapi).**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API database
|
|
|
|
Populate the API database with te server information, the domain's routes, and their ACL by running the following command :
|
|
|
|
|
|
`poetry run halfapi dbupdate`
|
|
|
|
|
|
**NOTE: You need to have the domain's package installed if you want to populate the api routes module, as it check for the existence of the acl functions.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Database configuration
|
|
|
|
The api and domains' databases connection settings are stored by default in `/etc/half_orm`. Check halfORM documentation for more information on how to write these configuration files.
|
|
|
|
You can set the `HALFORM_SECRET` environment variable if you want to specify an authentication secret.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**TODO :** find a modular way to configure the database connection for each mounted domain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Development mode
|
|
|
|
In the halfapi repository, type :
|
|
|
|
|
|
`poetry run halfapi`
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you need to launch the test suite (only works if you have pytest installed) :
|
|
|
|
|
|
`poetry run pytest`
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Production
|
|
|
|
The production server may use different init systems. As our main server is Debian-based, we use systemd services to manage the api server. Find the right service files and configure them properly in order to make your production setup perfect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cp conf/systemd/lirmm_api* /etc/systemd/system/
|
|
systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
systemctl start lirmm_api
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make it start at boot :
|
|
|
|
|
|
`systemctl enable lirmm_api`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get the logs :
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
journalctl -f --unit lirmm_api
|
|
|
|
```
|
