MBS Connector Plugin
The Mobile Backend Services (MBS) data connector is a plugin for API Builder that allows you to connect to Axway MBS. All the Models created in your project that uses the MBS data connector, will have their data automatically persisted in the cloud.
Installation
To install the MBS connector, execute the following command:
npm install --no-optional @axway/api-builder-plugin-dc-mbsA configuration file is generated for you and placed into the
/confdirectory of your API Builder project.
Configuration
Once the plugin is installed, the configuration file is located in <project>/conf/mbs.default.js .
| Option name | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| connector | string | Must be set to @axway/api-builder-plugin-dc-mbs | Yes |

Provisioning a MBS database in the AMPLIFY Platform
- Follow this guide to provision an MBS database and get a username, password and app key.
- From within an API Builder 4.x project, install the connector:
$ npm install --no-optional @axway/api-builder-plugin-dc-mbsAfter the successful installation of the connector, a configuration file 'mbs.default.js' will be automatically created in your project's conf directory.
We recommend providing the app key, username, and password as environment variables. MBS_KEY, MBS_USER and MBS_PASSWORD are the default environment variables used to configure this connector. See Environmentalization for more info.
After configuring the connector, you can start the service as normal.
