Onboarding Node.js enabler for Zowe API Mediation Layer

This is the onboarding Node.js enabler for Zowe API Mediation Layer (part of Zowe) that allows to register a NodeJS based service to the API Mediation Layer Discovery Service. It uses eureka-js-client.

How to use

1. Install the onboarding Node.js enabler package as a dependency of your service:

   npm i @zowe/apiml-onboarding-enabler-nodejs --dev-save

2. Inside your Node.js service index.js, add the following code block to register your service with Eureka:

   const apiLayerService = require("@zowe/apiml-onboarding-enabler-nodejs");
   tlsOptions = apiLayerService.tlsOptions;
   const httpsServer = https.createServer(tlsOptions, app);
   httpsServer.listen(args.port, function () {
       apiLayerService.connectToEureka();
   });
   
   

   To make sure that your application will automatically unregister from Eureka once shut down, you can use the unregisterFromEureka() function, like shown in the example below. Example:

   process.on('SIGINT', signal => {
       apiLayerService.unregisterFromEureka();
       httpsServer.close(() => {
           process.exit(0);
       });
   });   
       
   

3. Create a yaml file named service-configuration.yml, add the configuration properties and place the yaml file inside a /config directory at the same level of your index.js. Below is an example of the configuration.

   Example:

   serviceId: hwexpress
   title: Hello World express REST API
   eureka:
     ssl: true
     host: localhost
     ipAddress: 127.0.0.1
     port: 10011
     servicePath: '/eureka/apps/'
     maxRetries: 30
     requestRetryDelay: 1000
     registryFetchInterval: 5

4. Start your Node.js service and verify that it registers to the Zowe API Mediation Layer.
