CPS-1197: Spike Investigate Implementation of API Versioning

CPS-1197: Spike Investigate Implementation of API VersioningClosed

Issue: 

Currently CPS core API's are not consistent. for example few of the POST operations return "plain/text" but few of the APIs does not return any response. So to make those APIs consistent, we need to change response of existing APIs. To make APIs backward compatible, we need to apply API versioning so that previous APIs still return "plain/text". newer versions of POST APIs will not return any response body. below is details of changes which will be required to support API versioning. create dataspace API explained below for reference 





create dataspace v1

create dataspace v2



create dataspace v1

create dataspace v2

URI

POST:

http://localhost:8883/cps/api/v1/dataspaces?dataspace-name=testDataspace

POST:

http://localhost:8883/cps/api/v2/dataspaces?dataspace-name=testDataspace

Response 

HTTP Code : 201

content-type: plain/text

response body : testDataspace

HTTP Code : 201

response body : NO CONTENT 

Note :

  1. Once we migrate to v2, other existing APIs will be supported in v1 and v2 without any impact.

  2. New endpoints will be supported under v2 only



Code changes to support v2 :  

S.No

changes

S.No

changes

1.

change cps-rest/docs/openapi.yaml file 

  /{apiVersion}/dataspaces:
    $ref: 'cpsAdmin.yml#/dataspaces'

  /v2/dataspaces:
    $ref: 'cpsAdminV2.yml#/dataspaces'

Note : Since same URL support more then one actions (CRUD) and we need to change any one of the action, we need to create two different URL in yml file. if all the CRUD operations to be supported in v2, we can make changes in yml file as below :

 /{apiVersion}/dataspaces/{dataspace-name}/anchors/{anchor-name}/node:
    $ref: 'cpsData.yml#/nodeByDataspaceAndAnchor'

2. 

create cpsAdminV2.yml file and add POST APIs(as below) which need to be changed for v2 . 

dataspaces:
  post:
    description: Create a new dataspace
    tags:
      - cps-admin
    summary: Create a dataspace
    operationId: createDataspaceV2
    parameters:
      - $ref: 'components.yml#/components/parameters/dataspaceNameInQuery'
    responses:
      '201':
        $ref: 'components.yml#/components/responses/CreatedV2'
      '400':
        $ref: 'components.yml#/components/responses/BadRequest'
      '401':
        $ref: 'components.yml#/components/responses/Unauthorized'
      '403':
        $ref: 'components.yml#/components/responses/Forbidden'
      '409':



changes in cpsAdmin.yml for deprecated version(s):

  /{version}/dataspaces:
    post:
      deprecated: false
      tags:
      - cps-admin
      summary: Create a dataspace
      description: Create a new dataspace
      operationId: createDataspace
      parameters:
      - name: version
        in: path
        description: version 
        required: true
        schema:
          type: string
          enum: [v1]



changes in cpsAdmin.yml for APIs to be supported in all the versions as it is:

delete:
description: Delete a dataspace
tags:
- cps-admin
summary: Delete a dataspace
operationId: deleteDataspace
parameters:
- $ref: 'components.yml#/components/parameters/apiVersionInPath'
- $ref: 'components.yml#/components/parameters/dataspaceNameInQuery'

3.

add componentsV2.yml file and add below lines:

    CreatedV2:
      description: Created withoud response body



changes in components.yml to add apiVersion path parameter 

parameters:
apiVersionInPath:
name: apiVersion
in: path
description: apiVersion
required: true
schema:
type: string
enum: [v1, v2]

4. 

autogenerated code in CpsAdminApi.java



   @RequestMapping(value = "/v2/dataspaces",
        produces = { "application/json" },
        method = RequestMethod.POST)
    ResponseEntity<Void> createDataspaceV2(@NotNull @Parameter(in = ParameterIn.QUERY, description = "dataspace-name" ,required=true,schema=@Schema()) @Valid @RequestParam(value = "dataspace-name", required = true) String dataspaceName);



existing APIs will also change in CpsAdminApi. now all API method will have a path parameter argument as below :

ResponseEntity<Void> deleteDataspace(@Parameter(in = ParameterIn.PATH, description = "apiVersion", required=true, schema=@Schema(allowableValues={ "v1", "v2" }
)) @PathVariable("apiVersion") String apiVersion, @NotNull @Parameter(in = ParameterIn.QUERY, description = "dataspace-name" ,required=true,schema=@Schema()) @Valid @RequestParam(value = "dataspace-name", required = true) String dataspaceName);

5. 

Implement autogenerated method "createDataspaceV2" in AdminRestController.java

    @Override
    public ResponseEntity<Void> createDataspaceV2(@NotNull @Valid final String dataspaceName) {
        cpsAdminService.createDataspace(dataspaceName);
        return new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.CREATED);
    }
