Build Status

Attention:

- SDK Catalogues is no longer supported!!! 
On October 31th, milestone Y2B, SDK Catalogue was removed as a component from the Sonata SDK.
For more information, please check "Issues" section.

SDK Catalogues

This repository contains the development for the SDK catalogues. It holds the API implementation of SDK catalogues for services and functions. Moreover, it is closely related to the son-catalogue-repos repository that holds the catalogues of the SONATA Service Platform as well at the son-schema repository that holds the schema for the various descriptors, such as the VNFD and the NSD.

The structure of this repository is as follows:

Development

To contribute to the development of the SONATA editor, you may use the very same development workflow as for any other SONATA Github project. That is, you have to fork the repository and create pull requests.

Dependencies

It is recommended to use Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (Trusty Tahr).

This code has been run on Ruby 2.1.

MongoDB is required, this code has been run using MongoDB version 3.2.1.

Root folder provides a script "installation_mongodb.sh" to install and set up MongoDB.

Ruby gems used (for more details see Gemfile in son-sdk-catalogues folder):

Contributing

You may contribute to the editor similar to other SONATA (sub-) projects, i.e. by creating pull requests.

Installation

First step to install the Catalogues is to clone the source code from the repository. SDK Catalogue can be installed in two different ways: using Docker containers or without Docker.

Installing with Docker

For this installation Docker Compose is first required. It is required to install Docker Engine in order to use Docker Compose. You can follow the instructions in https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/ to do so. Once this requirement is meet, you can start installation with the next command:

docker-compose up -d

Installing without Docker

Before running the Catalogues API from source code, it is recommended to install a fresh MongoDB database. It can be done with the "installation_mongodb.sh" script provided in the root folder. 

./installation_mongodb.sh

This script installs MongoDB and uses the "dbs.js" script to build a database structure in the MongoDB for each catalogue. The default IP address for local development environment is 'localhost:27017'. However, if the MongoDB is already installed, "dbs.js" script can be used standalone, just follow the instructions inside the file. If the MongoDB is found remotely, then the "dbs.js" script needs to be changed according to the IP and Port address of the MongoDB. Next step is to install dependencies required by the Catalogue API. Run "install_deps.sh" script found in the same folder to install Ruby required libraries.

./install_deps.sh

Once installed previous requirements, you can run to install required gems:

bundle install

It will install all the gems needed to run the SON-CATALOGUE API.

Usage

The following shows how to start the Catalogue API server:

rake start

The Catalogue's API allows the use of CRUD operations to send, retrieve, update and delete descriptors. The available descriptors include services (NSD) and functions (VNFD).

For testing the Catalogue, you can use 'curl' tool to send a request to the API. It is required to set the HTTP header 'Content-type' field to 'application/json' or 'application/x-yaml' according to your desired format. Remember to set the IP address and port accordingly.

Method GET:

To receive all descriptors you can use

curl http://localhost:4011/network-services
curl http://localhost:4011/vnfs

To receive a descriptor by its ID:

curl http://localhost:4011/network-services/id/9f18bc1b-b18d-483b-88da-a600e9255016
curl http://localhost:4011/vnfs/id/9f18bc1b-b18d-483b-88da-a600e9255017

Method POST:

To send a descriptor

curl -X POST --data-binary @nsd_sample.yaml -H "Content-type:application/x-yaml" http://localhost:4011/network-services
curl -X POST --data-binary @vnfd_sample.yaml -H "Content-type:application/x-yaml" http://localhost:4011/vnfs

Method PUT:

To update a descriptor is similar to the POST method, but it is required that a older version of the descriptor is stored in the Catalogue

curl -X POST --data-binary @nsd_sample.yaml -H "Content-type:application/x-yaml" http://localhost:4011/network-services/id/9f18bc1b-b18d-483b-88da-a600e9255016
curl -X POST --data-binary @vnfd_sample.yaml -H "Content-type:application/x-yaml" http://localhost:4011/vnfs/id/9f18bc1b-b18d-483b-88da-a600e9255017

Method DELETE:

To remove a descriptor by its ID

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:4011/network-services/id/9f18bc1b-b18d-483b-88da-a600e9255016
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:4011/vnfs/id/9f18bc1b-b18d-483b-88da-a600e9255017

For more information about usage of Catalogue, please visit the wikipage link below which contains some information to interact and test the Catalogues API.

The API documentation is expected to be generated with Swagger soon. Further information can be found on SONATA's wikipages link for SONATA Catalogues:

Currently, the API is documented with yardoc and can be built with a rake task:

rake yard

From here you can use the yard server to browse the docs from the source root:

yard server

And they can be viewed from http://localhost:8808/
