Tutorial: Implementing REST APIs using QEWD MicroServices with Cache or IRIS on Windows
I've created a new repository that I will use for providing examples of various scenarios and use cases for QEWD
https://github.com/robtweed/
Initially it contains a example of a scenario I'm often asked about: a set of REST APIs, with JWT support, implemented as a set of QEWD MicroServices, each of which uses Cache or IRIS running on a Windows system.
What I've provided is a detailed, step-by-step guide (with detailed explanations) of how to set up such a system.
The example shows a use case of REST APIs to:
- authenticate / login
- thereafter use a set of CRUD APIs to create, get, edit and delete a simple Person record.
The example provides two alternative sets of API handler modules showing how the same CRUD APIs would be implemented for:
- an simple Cache/IRIS Person class; or
- an equivalent QEWD-JSdb persistent JSON Person document
The example also demonstrates how to make use of the JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) that are provided automatically by the QEWD MicroServices
When you get a QEWD instance up and running, be sure to try out the new qewd-monitor-adminui application that will be automatically installed, and in particular try out its super-cool QEWD-JSdb Node Inspector: a new way to visualise and explore/maintain the underlying Global Storage in your Cache or IRIS system!
