Drink Chooser

This is a simple OpenWhisk serverless app written in Swift that will suggest a drink when asked. You can also view the top recommended drinks.

Actions

There are three actions available via web actions:

• choose: will recommend a drink for you
• counts: will show how often the top 10 drinks have been recommended
• slackDrink: expects to respond to "/drink please" and calls choose

There is one internal action:

• incrementDrinkCount: called from choose to increment the number of times this drink has been recommended in Redis

Notes

• Create parameters.json - start with parameters.json.dist

  • Edit the information in parameters.json to connect to your Compose Redis instance

• Read the makfile to see what to do:

  • make setup to create the package
  • make to buld and upload all the actions
  • make choose to have a drink recommended to you
  • make counts to view recommendation stats
  • make lastlog will show the last activation's log

Example output

$ curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' \
    https://openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net/api/v1/experimental/web/{org}_{space}/DC/choose.http

{
  "recommendation": "A nice hot cup of tea!"
}

$ curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' \
https://openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net/api/v1/experimental/web/{org}_{space}/DC/counts.http

{
  "results": [
    {
      "Anijsmelk": 28
    },
    {
      "A nice hot cup of tea!": 23
    },
    {
      "Hot chocolate": 21
    },
    {
      "Espresso": 19
    },
    {
      "Bandrek": 18
    }
  ]
}

Useful curl setting

    $ echo '-w "\n"' >> ~/.curlrc`

will ensure that curl always add a new line to the end of the response for neatness

web action calls:

choose: $ curl -i -H 'Accept: application/json' https://openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net/api/v1/experimental/web/{org}_{space}/DC/choose.http counts: $ curl -i -H 'Accept: application/json' https://openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net/api/v1/experimental/web/{org}_{space}/DC/counts.http

API Gateway calls:

If you set up API Gateway access to the actions, then this is how you would call them:

choose: curl -i -H 'Accept: application/json' https://{some string}-gws.api-gw.mybluemix.net/DC/choose counts: curl -i -H 'Accept: application/json' https://{some string}-gws.api-gw.mybluemix.net/DC/counts

A neat way to get the correct URL for the API Gateway calls is:

choose:

$ api_url=`wsk api-experimental list | grep DC/choose | awk 'END {print $NF}'`; curl -i $api_url

count:

$ api_url=`wsk api-experimental list | grep DC/count | awk 'END {print $NF}'`; curl -i $api_url

OpenWhisk authorisation:

When you first start, you need to authorise your wsk command with OpenWhisk:

1. https://console.ng.bluemix.net/openwhisk/learn/cli
2. Copy "New Authentication" command and paste into console
3. Unset namespace: `wsk property unset --namespace`
