Talend NPM | npm.io

Talend TAC API extender and nodejs npm module

Purpose

This intends to provide a gentrified API overlay to handle calls to Talend Administration Centre.
It should make the TAC API call log meaningful
It could be run on the TAC server to restrict external calls to the TAC server (security)
It should be exposed via nginx or HAProxy (preferably) - its uses 3024 as default port
The npm module npm install talend can be used independently by other node scripts (lambda) to call TAC

Configure the api server

Configure variables

```
APP_NAME=talend-stack-api
APP_PORT=3054

TALEND_TAC_API_URL=http://0.0.0.0
TALEND_TAC_API_PORT=3002

```

OR drop a file with above into a file called .env in your root

Run the api server

Call the run.sh file. You may need to give it exec permissions like

$ chmod u+x run.sh
$ ./run.sh

And for some logging (note its really verbose)

$ npm install -g bunyan
$ ./run.sh | bunyan

Setup to use in your own node project

$ mkdir your-folder-here
$ npm init
$ npm install talend --save

How do I call this API

We recommend using.. request-promise-native OR request-promise (uses bluebird for more promise love)

```
var rp = require('request-promise');
var options = {
    method: 'POST',
    uri: 'http://0.0.0.0:3054/talend/tac/<methodName>',
    body: {
        some: 'payload'
    },
    json: true // Automatically stringifies the body to JSON
};
rp(options)
    .then(function (parsedBody) {
        // POST succeeded...
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
        // POST failed...
    });

```
