Professional Reference Data API

Purpose

Provides professional reference data to client applications. Implemented as a Java/SpringBoot application.

Prerequisites

To run the project you will need to have the following installed:

• Java 8
• Docker (optional)

For information about the software versions used to build this API and a complete list of it's dependencies see build.gradle

While not essential, it is highly recommended to use the pre-push git hook included in this repository to ensure that all tests are passing. This can be done by running the following command: $ git config core.hooksPath .githooks

Environment Vars

If running locally for development or testing you will need to set the following environment variables

• export POSTGRES_USERNAME=dbrefdata
• export POSTGRES_PASSWORD=dbrefdata
• export IDAM_KEY_IAC=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC

Running the application

To run the API quickly use the docker helper script as follows:

./bin/run-in-docker.sh

or

docker-compose up

application will listen on 8090 when started using the above methods.

Alternatively, you can start the application from the current source files using Gradle as follows:

./gradlew clean bootRun

If required, to run with a low memory consumption, the following can be used:

./gradlew --no-daemon assemble && java -Xmx384m -jar build/libs/rd-professional-api.jar

Using the application

To understand if the application is working, you can call it's health endpoint:

curl http://localhost:8090/health

If the API is running, you should see this response:

{"status":"UP"}

DB Initialisation˙

The application uses a Postgres database which can be run through a docker container on its own if required.

this

The application should automatically apply any database migrations using flyway.

Running integration tests:

You can run the integration tests as follows:

./gradlew integration

Running functional tests:

If the API is running (either inside a Docker container or via gradle bootRun) you can run the functional tests as follows:

./gradlew functional

If you want to run a specific scenario use this command:

./gradlew functional --tests <TestClassName> --info -Dscenario=<Scenario>

Running smoke tests:

If the API is running (either inside a Docker container or via gradle bootRun) you can run the smoke tests as follows:

./gradlew smoke

Running mutation tests tests:

If you have some time to spare, you can run the mutation tests as follows:

./gradlew pitest

As the project grows, these tests will take longer and longer to execute but are useful indicators of the quality of the test suite.

More information about mutation testing can be found here: http://pitest.org/

Testing in Postman

To test in Postman the easiest way is to start this service using the ./bin/run-in-docker.sh script. The in postman paste the following script:

pm.sendRequest('http://127.0.0.1:8089/token', function (err, res) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
    } else {
        pm.environment.set("token", res.text());
    }
});

into the pre-script window. Also add a header as follows:

ServiceAuthorization: Bearer {{token}}
