HTTP API

ReSolve exposes an HTTP API that allows you to send aggregate commands, and query Read and View Models.

Command API

You can send a command from the client side as a POST request to the following URL:

http://{host}:{port}/api/commands

The request body should have the application/json content type and contain the command's JSON representation.

{
  "aggregateName": aggregateName,
  "type": commandType,
  "aggregateId": aggregateID,
  "payload": {
    "param1": value1,
    "param2": value2,
    ...
    "paramN": valueN
  }
}

Name	Type	Description
aggregateId	string	The ID of an aggregate that should handle the command.
aggregateName	string	The aggregate's name as defined in config.app.js.
commandType	string	The command type that the aggregate can handle.
payload	object	Parameters the command accepts.

Example

const apiCommandsUrl = '/api/commands'

const sendCommand = async ({
  aggregateName,
  aggregateId,
  type,
  payload,
  jwt,
}) => {
  await fetch(apiCommandsUrl, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      Authorization: `Bearer ${jwt}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      aggregateName,
      aggregateId,
      type,
      payload,
    }),
  })
}

Read Model API

To query a Read Model from the client side, send a POST request to the following URL:

http://{host}:{port}/api/query/{readModel}/{resolver}

URL Parameters:

Name	Description
readModel	The Read Model name as defined in the application's configuration file.
resolver	The name of a resolver defined in the Read Model.

The request body should have the application/json content type and the following structure:

{
  param1: value1,
  param2: value2,
  // ...
  paramN: valueN
}

The object contains parameters that the resolver accepts.

Example

const apiQueryUrl = '/api/query'

const queryReadModel = async (readModelName, resolver, parameters, jwt) => {
  const requestUrl = `${apiQueryUrl}/${readModelName}/${resolver}`
  const res = await fetch(requestUrl, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      Authorization: `Bearer ${jwt}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(parameters),
  })
  return await res.json()
}

View Model API

To query a View Model from the client side, send a GET request to the following URL:

http://{host}:{port}/api/query/{viewModel}/{aggregateIds}

URL Parameters

Name	Description
viewModel	The View Model name as defined in the application's configuration file.
aggregateIds	The comma-separated list of Aggregate IDs to include in the View Model. Use * to include all Aggregates.

Example

const apiQueryUrl = '/api/query'

const queryViewModel = async (viewModelName, aggregateIds, jwt) => {
  const requestUrl = `${apiQueryUrl}/${viewModelName}/${aggregateIds.join(',')}`
  const res = await fetch(requestUrl, {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${jwt}`,
    },
  })
  return await res.json()
}

Authorization

To authorize your request on a reSolve server, specify a Bearer Token in your request's Authorization header:

await fetch(Url, {
  ...
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${jwt}`,
    ...
  },
  ...
})

See the Authentication and Authorization topic for information on how authorization is handled on the server.
