Create a Connection: Validation

[kahboom]

Overview

Add the ability to validate connections in the UI when creating one. Entails the following:

• Add HTML & SCSS to reflect designs & incorporate logic.
• Add method(s) called by HTML for actually validating Connections in respective component. This will likely be on hold until the API has implemented this feature.
• Add logic to communicate with internal data store and SSE/Websocket for bi-directional model synchronization (and to initiate notifications).

Relevant Designs

Validation

Validation: In Progress

In cases where it takes more than a second, a progress indicator and message should be presented to the user.

Validation: Failure

Not implemented in the runtime yet so will have to be moved to the backlog / technical debt.

From IRC:

the expected input parameters will be a connectorId and a map with properties as connectorId sth like "twitter", (not an action btw) and for the props 'consumerKey', 'consumerSecret', 'accessToken' and 'accessTokenSecret' (in the twitter case)

its at ipaas-rest and will look like ... POST to /api/v1/connectors/{id}/verifier with the parameters as json object.

there are two so called 'scopes' which are checked: the first is PARAMETERS which simply validates if all required parameters are there and sound. so no call to a backend. If this fails the check comes back immediately without checking the connectivitiy which is the second scope CONNECTIVITY so, you get always back an array of objects. in the good case, two with both SUCESS.

in the bad case either one element when the initiali validation fails or two, with the validation as SUCESS and the connectivity as ERROR
