Workflow

This document outlines the development guidelines and basic workflow for implementing new provision providers.

Ensure you also read the guidelines on CONTRIBUTING.

Resources

Links/resources to familiarize yourself with before you begin.

  • Upmind Provision Provider Base
    • This is the base library all provisioning code extends from. The project README explains the structure of Upmind provision providers; classes, responsibilities etc
  • Upmind Provision Workbench
    • A local development tool which provides a convenient UI for creating and managing provision configurations, running and inspecting provision functions etc

Steps

Follow the below steps to create a new provider, using the fictitious provider "FooPlatform" as an example:

  1. Install the Upmind Provision Workbench
  2. Fork this repository
  3. Clone your fork into the local/ directory where you have installed the provision workbench and run composer require upmind/provision-provider-website-builders:@dev - it will install from your fork in local/
  4. In your fork of upmind/provision-provider-website-builders copy the src/Providers/Example directory to create src/Providers/FooPlatform and update the namespace on files under src/Providers/FooPlatform
  5. Update the sample Configuration class for FooPlatform API credentials (hostname, username, api_key, sandbox, debug etc)
  6. Bind your new provider to the provision registry in src/LaravelServiceProvider.php
  7. In the provision workbench terminal re-cache your local provision registry by running php artisan upmind:provision:cache
  8. In the provision workbench UI (typically http://127.0.0.1:9000) create a FooPlatform provision configuration
  9. Now you can run provision functions (also known as provision requests) via the workbench UI as you develop them
  10. When complete, submit your fork as a pull request (PR) back to the main branch on this repository

Requirements

These are the acceptance criteria for new providers.

  • Use the src/Providers/Example/ directory as a basic template for the new provider; do not copy + paste an existing Provider class because each provider must be implemented differently
  • Implement the Configuration DTO class (used to construct the provider) under the same namespace as the new Provider
  • Implement PSR-3 debug logging of all API requests + responses
  • Implement all provider functions where possible. E.g., where polling is not possible it’s fine to throw an error like “Operation not supported”
  • Throw (or re-throw) normal/expected errors (e.g., data/state/auth issues) as a ProvisionFunctionError using throw $this->errorResult() - any other exceptions will be considered unexpected and wrapped in a generic error with a benign message which will be unhelpful to end users
  • Result messages and error messages must be ‘safe’ for end users/customers to read (not contain potentially sensitive information such as credentials or references to code/classes/files etc) but should still be reasonably helpful. Furthermore for services which can be resold as whitelabelled platforms you must not expose the provider/platform name in result/error messages
  • Additional information or helpful metadata (e.g. raw API response data) should be returned in successful result debug or error data/debug
  • Any changes to src/Category.php or in src/Data/ must be discussed with Upmind prior to the PR
  • Any new 3rd-party dependencies/libraries must be approved by Upmind
