@axway/amplify-builder-cli

An installable API Builder Standalone CLI package for the Axway AMPLIFY CLI.

Installation

Assuming you are familiar with Node.js and npm, you should first install the Axway AMPLIFY CLI, which will give you connectivity to the Axway AMPLIFY Platform. Note that you must first have an account on https://platform.axway.com, and be provisioned in API Central:

$ [sudo] npm install -g @axway/amplify-cli

Use the AMPLIFY package manager command to install the API Builder Standalone command line:

$ amplify pm install @axway/amplify-builder-cli

Getting started

Using the API Builder Standalone CLI, you can create a new project and initialize it with proxy services available from API Central. Log in to the Axway AMPLIFY Platform using the following command:

$ amplify auth login --client-id apicentral

Then, initialize a new API Builder Standalone project and specify the --get-catalog option. This will use the current AMPLIFY user session to download the proxy services available from API Central. The command will create the project, download the proxy services, and execute an npm install in the myproject directory.

$ amplify builder init --get-catalog myproject
$ cd myproject
$ npm start

Once it is running, you can open your browser to http://localhost:8080/console to access the UI.

Running your API Builder service

Running an API Builder service will launch the runtime and the UI, which can be used to make changes to your service. By default, the service will bind to http://localhost:8080. If you wish to change this, see the following section on Providing environment-specific configuration. Any time you wish to start the service, change directory into your project and execute:

$ npm start

Then, open a browser to: http://localhost:8080/console
