Menu API

An express server that can serves WordPress menu.

Development

Prerequisite

• access to the wp-veritas API
• some dev sites running:
  • wp-httpd
  • wp-httpd/campus
  • wp-httpd/campus/services
  • wp-httpd/campus/services/websites

Environment variables

Environment variables are declared in the

• .env.dev file for local tests. Make sure to put right variables
• .env.test file for wp-httpd container test
• prod environment variables are declared inside ansible

Run tests locally

To run tests locally: npm test

NodeJS

• npm i

• Start the server locally:

  npm start
  

• open your browser on

  • http://localhost:3001/menus/breadcrumb/?lang=en&url=http://wp-httpd/campus/services/en/it-services/security-it/
  • http://localhost:3001/menus/siblings/?lang=en&url=http://wp-httpd/campus/services/en/it-services/security-it/

Docker

Inside wp-dev run:

• If containers are already running: make stop
• To refresh the image of the menu-api we need to delete it: docker compose build menu-api
• Run make up to rebuild automatically the new image and run all containers
• Then you can use docker logs -f menu-api
• And then to test inside the meni-api container:

docker exec -it menu-api curl http://localhost:3001/refreshMenus ; docker exec -it menu-api curl http://localhost:3001/details\?type\=breadcrumb\&lang\=en\&url\=http://wp-httpd/campus/services/website/

N.B.: The test container (wp-httpd) will take the .env.test file for environment variables as it is configured in the docker-compose.yml file. Then the Dockerfile of the menu-api will be executed and so the npm start.
