An angular module that integrates thrift javascript lib with angular's http service
This is designed for sending json-formatted thrift v0.9 rpc calls to a server, from within a web browser with limited i/o functionality (no sockets, just http).
The provided ngThrift module has 3 dependencies that you have to set up: it depends on 2 user-defined modules, and angular services generated by a python script that serve as angular-injected clients for each of your thrift services, defined in your thrift IDL files.
- Implement the "ngThrift.http" module, with a user-defined service HttpErrorHandlerService, so that the user can inject a callback function to handle connection errors in thrift api calls. For example:
angular.module('ngThrift.http', []);
angular.module('ngThrift.http').service('HttpErrorHandlerService', ['$log', function ($log) {
this.onConnectionError = function (status, retryCallback, noRetryCallback) {
$log.debug('thrift http connection error');
$log.debug(status);
$log.debug('retrying');
retryCallback();
};
});- Implement the "auth" module, with the AuthenticationService service, because ngThrift doesn't use http headers for authentication.
angular.module('auth', []);
angular.module('auth').service('AuthenticationService', ['$log', function ($log) {
var accessToken;
/**
* security exceptions indicate that the client's credentials or access token is denied by the server
*/
this.isSecurityException = function (ex) {
return ex instanceof MySecurityException;
};
/**
* authenticate with the server
*/
this.reAuthenticate = function (successCallback, failCallback) {
$log.debug('refreshing my access token, or re-logging-in...');
// do some work
successCallback();
};
/**
* replace any authentication credentials in this array.
* this framework doesn't use http headers for authentication, so you probably send over your access token in a thrift rpc argument.
*/
this.updateSecurityCredentials = function (args) {
for (var i = 0; i < args; i++) {
var arg = args[i];
if (arg instanceof MyAccessToken) {
arg[i] = accessToken;
}
}
};
this.onCannotAuthenticate = function () {
$log.warn('cant authenticate :(');
};
});- Generate angularjs thrift client services with Dave's python script, in this Twitter Commons fork: https://github.com/davearata/twitter-commons
