Elektron

Elektron is a tiny promise based JS client for OpenStack APIs. It handles the authentication, manages the session (re-authentication), implements the service discovery and offers the most important HTTP methods. Everything that Elektron knows and depends on is based solely on the token context it gets from Keystone.

What it offers:

  • Authentication
  • Session with token context (service catalog, user data, scope) and automatic re-authentication
  • HTTP Methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD
  • Possibility to set headers on every request

What it doesn't offer:

  • Pre-defined API functions
  • Knowledge about services
  • Knowledge about request parameters and data
  • Knowledge about response structure

Installation

npm

$ npm install sapcc-elektron

yarn

yarn add sapcc-elektron

Usage

Quick start

import Elektron from "sapcc-elektron"

const elektron = Elektron("https://identity-3.qa-de-1.cloud.sap/v3", {
  userName: "your user name",
  password: "your password",
  userDomainName: "Default",
  scopeProjectId: "project id to which the token should be scoped",
})

elektron
  .service("compute")
  .get("/servers")
  .then((servers) => console.log(servers))

Client

Elektron(authEndpoint,authConf, options = {})

  • authEndpoint is a keystone endpoint URL

Auth conf properties

Authentication

  • userId: "12345" (string) - user id
  • userName: "i0007" (string) - user name. You should use userId or userName
  • userDomainId: "12345" (string) - ID of the domain in which the user is defined
  • userDomainName: "Default" (string) - name of the domain in which the user is defined. Use only userDomainId or userDomainName
  • password: "SECRET" (string) - user password

Scope

  • scopeDomainId: "12345" (string) - domain id for domain scoped token
  • scopeDomainName: "Default" (string) - domain name for domain scoped token
  • scopeProjectId: "12345" (string) - if provided, then all other scope parameters can be neglected
  • scopeProjectName: "demo" (string) - project name
  • scopeProjectDomainName: "Default" (string) - project domain name
  • scopeProjectDomainId: "12345" (string) - project domain id
  • unscoped: false (bool) - false to explicitly to get an unscoped token
  • token: "AUTH_TOKEN" (string) - if token is provided and scope is not, then the client will validate this token and build the session based on the response data

NOTE automatic re-authentication is only possible if user credentials are provided (userId / userName, password, etc.)

Depending on the use case a different combination of the above parameters is necessary (see below for examples).

Options

  • headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" } (object) - custom headers
  • interfaceName: "public" (string) - endpoint interface
  • region: "staging" (string) - the region of the services endpoints
  • pathPrefix: "v2" (string) - path prefix, e.g. to switch to another version
  • parseResponse: true (bool) - parse response as json.
  • debug: true (bool) - if true then logs debug output to console.

These options are valid for all services and requests (global options).

Examples

Authentication with user credentials

const elektron = Elektron.client(
  "https://identity.test.com",
  {
    userName: "test",
    userDomainName: "Default",
    password: "devstack",
  },
  { region: "RegionOne", interfaceName: "public" }
)

Authentication with user credentials and domain scope

const elektron = Elektron.client(
  "https://identity.test.com",
  {
    userName: "test",
    userDomainName: "Default",
    password: "devstack",
    scopeDomainName: "Default",
  },
  { region: "RegionOne", interfaceName: "public" }
)

Authentication with user credentials and project scope

const elektron = Elektron.client(
  "https://identity.test.com",
  {
    userName: "test",
    userDomainName: "Default",
    password: "devstack",
    scopeProjectDomainName: "Default",
    scopeProjectName: "demo",
  },
  { region: "RegionOne", interfaceName: "public" }
)

Authentication with token

const elektron = Elektron.client(
  "https://identity.test.com",
  {
    token: "OS_TOKEN",
  },
  { region: "RegionOne", interfaceName: "public" }
)

Authentication with token and scope

const elektron = Elektron.client(
  "https://identity.test.com",
  {
    token: "OS_TOKEN",
    scopeProjectDd: "123456789",
  },
  { region: "RegionOne", interfaceName: "public" }
)

Client Methods

  • service(serviceNameOrType, options = {}) (string, object) - options can include
    headers, interfaceName, region, pathPrefix, parseResponse, debug
  • token() - returns a promise object which resolves to token
  • authToken() - returns a promise object which resolves to the current auth token
  • logout() - revokes the auth token

Service

  • elektron.service(service_name, options = {}) (string,object) - returns a service based on the catalog

Options

  • headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" } (object) - custom headers
  • interfaceName: "public" (string) - endpoint interface
  • region: "staging" (string) - the region of the services endpoints
  • pathPrefix: "v2" (string) - path prefix, e.g. to switch to another version
  • parseResponse: true (bool) - parse response as json.
  • debug: true (bool) - if true then logs debug output to console.

These options are valid only within the service (service options).

Examples

Identity service with public endpoint

const identityService = elektron.service("identity", {
  interfaceName: "public",
})

Identity service with internal endpoint and prefix '/v3'

const identityService = elektron.service("identity", { interfaceName: "internal", pathPrefix: "/v3")

Manila service with microversion headers

const manilaService = elektron.service("share", { headers: { "X-OpenStack-Manila-API-Version": "2.15" })

Request

  • service.head(path, options = {}) (string,object) - executes http HEAD method
  • service.get(path, options = {}) (string,object) - executes http GET method
  • service.post(path, values = {}, options = {}) (string,object,object) - executes http POST method
  • service.put(path, values = {}, options = {}) (string,object,object) - executes http PUT method
  • service.patch(path, values = {}, options = {}) (string,object,object) - executes http PATCH method
  • service.del(path, options = {}) (string,object) - executes http DELETE method

Options

  • headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" } (object) - custom headers
  • interfaceName: "public" (string) - endpoint interface
  • region: "staging" (string) - the region of the services endpoints
  • pathPrefix: "v2" (string) - path prefix, e.g. to switch to another version
  • parseResponse: true (bool) - parse response as json.
  • debug: true (bool) - if true then logs debug output to console.

Response

The request returns different response objects depending on the parseResponse option. Under the hood, Elektron uses fetch. fetch returns a response object containing headers and other methods such as json. If parseResponse is set to true (default), then elektron automatically calls response.json(), which then returns a Promise object that parses the response as JSON. However, sometimes you want to access the response headers (identity: auth/token). In this case you have to set parseResponse to false.

Example: parseResponse: false

const elektron = Elektron.client("https://identity.test.com", {
  token: "OS_TOKEN",
})

elektron
  .service("identity")
  .post("/auth/token", { AUTH_OBJECT }, { parseResponse: false })
  .then(async (response) => {
    const authToken = response.headers.get("X-Subject-Token")
    const token = await response.json()
    return [authToken, token]
  })

parseResponse: true (default)

const elektron = Elektron.client("https://identity.test.com", {
  token: "OS_TOKEN",
})

elektron
  .service("compute")
  .get("/servers")
  .then((servers) => {
    console.log(servers)
  })
  .catch((error) => console.error(error))
