API

The API will use terraform output to build HTTP responses

Building a freaking API

This endpoint is running at https://api.terrable.work/v1/hello. Give it a try!


module "req" {
  source  = "../http-request"
  http    = var.http
  headers = var.headers
  payload = var.payload
}

locals {
  # Accept either the JSON "name" field or the name parameter
  name = module.req.json != null ? lookup(module.req.json, "name", var.default) : lookup(module.req.params, "name", var.default)
}

module "res" {
  source          = "../http-response"
  content         = { message = "Hello, ${local.name}!" }
}

output "response" {
  value = module.res.response
}

Run the Hello API

git clone https://gitlab.com/jonathanbaugh/terrable.git
docker-compose up

Make a Request

$ curl http://localhost:8000/?name=Jonathan
{"message":"Hello, Jonathan!"}

The Components

The HTTP Request Module

The http-request module makes it easier to deal with incoming HTTP requests.

variable "http" {}
variable "headers" {}
variable "pathload" {}

module "req" {
  source  = "../http-request"
  http    = var.http
  headers = var.headers
  payload = var.payload
}

output "response" {
  value = module.res.response
}

The HTTP Response Module

The http-response module makes it easier to build your HTTP response.

module "res" {
  source = "path/to/http-response"
  content = { message = "Hello World!" }
}

output "response" {
  value = module.res.response
}
