Managed API for Azure DevOps

Managed API for Azure DevOps is an API Client for Azure DevOps by Adaptavist primarily designed for the use in ScriptRunner Connect. You can read more about Managed APIs here.

This is a runtime agnostic version of the Managed API (with core suffix) that makes it easy to port it to any runtime you may want to use this Managed API on.

Platform specific ports

• ScriptRunner Connect

Supported API calls

• fetch

Porting to other runtimes

While the primary reason for creating Managed APIs was to use them in ScriptRunner Connect runtime, then you can easily port them to any runtime of your choosing.

You can do so by extending the *Core Managed API class where you'll be asked to provide implementation for getPlatformImplementation function. In this implementation you have yo specify how to perform buffer encoding/decoding operations and how to perform HTTP calls:

{
    buffer: {
        encode(input: string): ArrayBuffer;
        decode(input: ArrayBuffer): string;
    },
    performHttpCall(request: Request): Promise<Response>
}

Here is an example how to create a Node port of the Managed API:

import { AzureDevopsApiCore } from "@managed-api/azure-devops-core";
import { PlatformImplementation, Request, Response, Headers } from "@managed-api/commons-core";
import fetch from "node-fetch";

export class AzureDevopsApi extends AzureDevopsApiCore {
    constructor(private baseUrl: string, private authToken: string) {
        super();
    }

    protected getPlatformImplementation(): PlatformImplementation {
        return {
            buffer: {
                encode: (input) => Buffer.from(input, 'utf-8'),
                decode: (input) => Buffer.from(input).toString('utf-8')
            },
            performHttpCall: (request) => this.performHttpCall(request)
        };
    }

    private async performHttpCall(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
        const requestUrl = `${this.baseUrl}${request.url}`; // Substitute base URL
        request.headers.set('Authorization', `Basic ${this.authToken}`); // Substitute auth token
        const response = await fetch(requestUrl, {
            method: request.method,
            headers: request.headers as any,
            body: request.method.toLowerCase() !== 'get' ? Buffer.from((await request.arrayBuffer()) ?? new ArrayBuffer(0)) : undefined
        });

        const apiHeaders = new Headers();
        response.headers.forEach((value, key) => apiHeaders.append(key, value));

        const body = await response.arrayBuffer();

        return super.buildResponse(response.url, response.status, response.statusText, apiHeaders, body);
    }
}

Please note that the authentication handling details may not be accurate and serve as an example. If you wish you use these Managed APIs without having to concern yourself how to deal with and secure authentication details when working with APIs, then feel free to evaluate ScriptRunner Connect platform.
