This document is a step-by-step guide to help you understand how our system works and the steps necessary to get a simple component pushed and ready for a successful integration using AVA platform.
The first step would be to upload your SSH Key to authorise your deployment via git-push process.
Please note: If you encounter the error below during the code Push phase, it may be because RSA signatures using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm have been disabled by default since OpenSSH 8.8. It is worth checking the SSH configuration file (usually located in
/etc/ssh/ssh_configLinux/MacOS) and adding the following lines to allow connection and user authentication:
HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
If you have prepared your component locally by following instructions in how to build a component in Node.js or Java then you can skip this step. Otherwise, you can clone one of our template repositories to go through these steps couple of times to familiarize yourself. At the moment we are supporting only Node.js and Java so here are component templates in each language respectively:
For example, in case of Node.js you could start like this:
$ git clone https://github.com/thatapp/petstore-component-nodejs
Cloning into 'petstore-component-nodejs'...
remote: Counting objects: 130, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (9/9), done.
remote: Total 130 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 121
Receiving objects: 100% (130/130), 43.40 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (60/60), done.
Checking the directory where you have cloned the component:
$ cd petstore-component-nodejs/
$ ls -ga

More information is available in Building a component in Node.js help page.
At this stage, we want to know which repositories we have access to:
$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/thatapp/petstore-component-nodejs (fetch)
origin https://github.com/thatapp/petstore-component-nodejs (push)
Now we need to add a new repository in our platform by following instructions in Managing your Teams/Components page. For a simplicity let us take the same name for the repository creation petstore-component-nodejs, and let’s say we have created this particular repository in the development team called dev-build. The platform would create a specific git repository like this: dev-build@git.AVA:petstore-component-nodejs.git. Then we add this repository to our local git configuration of local repository like this
$ git remote add ipaas dev-build@git.thatapp.io:petstore-component-nodejs.git
$ git remote -v
ipaas dev-build@git.thatapp.io:petstore-component-nodejs.git (fetch)
ipaas dev-build@git.thatapp.io:petstore-component-nodejs.git (push)
origin https://github.com/thatapp/petstore-component-nodejs (fetch)
origin https://github.com/thatapp/petstore-component-nodejs (push)
Our repository is ready to receive the petstore-component-nodejs component.
After performing all the task described above we are ready to push our code to the newly created repository. To do that we will type:
$ git push ipaas master
Before your push would go ahead the system will want to authenticate your SSH Key which we have created specifically for this. Please type yes and accept it to proceed.
The newly added component is in the list of components when you start creating your integration flow.
If your component has only Action function then your component would show only when selecting an Action function while building the integration flow.
If your component has only Trigger function then your component would show only when selecting a Trigger component.
