20 =head1 NAME
22 C4::Service - functions for JSON webservices.
24 =head1 SYNOPSIS
26 my ( $query, $response) = C4::Service->init( { circulate => 1 } );
27 my ( $borrowernumber) = C4::Service->require_params( 'borrowernumber' );
29 C4::Service->return_error( 'internal', 'Frobnication failed', frobnicator => 'foo' );
31 $response->param( frobnicated => 'You' );
33 C4::Service->return_success( $response );
35 =head1 DESCRIPTION
37 This module packages several useful functions for JSON webservices.
39 =cut
41 use strict;
42 use warnings;

53 $debug = $ENV{DEBUG} || 0;
56 our ( $query, $cookie );
58 =head1 METHODS
60 =head2 init
62 =over 4
64 our ( $query, $response ) = C4::Service->init( %needed_flags );
66 =back
68 Initialize the service and check for the permissions in C<%needed_flags>.
70 Also, check that the user is authorized and has a current session, and return an
71 'auth' error if not.
73 init() returns a C<CGI> object and a C<C4::Output::JSONStream>. The latter can
74 be used for both flat scripts and those that use dispatch(), and should be
75 passed to C<return_success()>.
77 =cut
79 sub init {
80 my ( $class, %needed_flags ) = @_;
82 our $query = new CGI;
84 my ( $status, $cookie_, $sessionID ) = check_api_auth( $query, \%needed_flags );
86 our $cookie = $cookie_; # I have no desire to offend the Perl scoping gods
88 $class->return_error( 'auth', $status ) if ( $status ne 'ok' );
90 return ( $query, new C4::Output::JSONStream );
93 =head2 return_error
95 =over 4
97 C4::Service->return_error( $type, $error, %flags );
99 =back
101 Exit the script with HTTP status 400, and return a JSON error object.
103 C<$type> should be a short, lower case code for the generic type of error (such
104 as 'auth' or 'input').
106 C<$error> should be a more specific code giving information on the error. If
107 multiple errors of the same type occurred, they should be joined by '|'; i.e.,
108 'expired|different_ip'. Information in C<$error> does not need to be
109 human-readable, as its formatting should be handled by the client.
111 Any additional information to be given in the response should be passed as
112 param => value pairs.
114 =cut
116 sub return_error {
117 my ( $class, $type, $error, %flags ) = @_;
119 my $response = new C4::Output::JSONStream;
121 $response->param( message => $error ) if ( $error );
122 $response->param( type => $type, %flags );
124 output_with_http_headers $query, $cookie, $response->output, 'json', '400 Bad Request';
125 exit;
128 =head2 return_multi
130 =over 4
132 C4::Service->return_multi( \@responses, %flags );
134 =back
136 return_multi is similar to return_success or return_error, but allows you to
137 return different statuses for several requests sent at once (using HTTP status
138 "207 Multi-Status", much like WebDAV). The toplevel hashref (turned into the
139 JSON response) looks something like this:
141 =over 4
143 { multi => JSON::true, responses => \@responses, %flags }
145 =back
147 Each element of @responses should be either a plain hashref or an arrayref. If
148 it is a hashref, it is sent to the browser as-is. If it is an arrayref, it is
149 assumed to be in the same form as the arguments to return_error, and is turned
150 into an error structure.
152 All key-value pairs %flags are, as stated above, put into the returned JSON
153 structure verbatim.
155 =cut
157 sub return_multi {
158 my ( $class, $responses, @flags ) = @_;
160 my $response = new C4::Output::JSONStream;
162 if ( !@$responses ) {
163 $class->return_success( $response );
164 } else {
165 my @responses_formatted;
167 foreach my $response ( @$responses ) {
168 if ( ref( $response ) eq 'ARRAY' ) {
169 my ($type, $error, @error_flags) = @$response;
171 push @responses_formatted, { is_error => JSON::true, type => $type, message => $error, @error_flags };
172 } else {
173 push @responses_formatted, $response;
177 $response->param( 'multi' => JSON::true, responses => \@responses_formatted, @flags );
178 output_with_http_headers $query, $cookie, $response->output, 'json', '207 Multi-Status';
181 exit;
184 =head2 return_success
186 =over 4
188 C4::Service->return_success( $response );
190 =back
192 Print out the information in the C<C4::Output::JSONStream> C<$response>, then
193 exit with HTTP status 200.
195 =cut
197 sub return_success {
198 my ( $class, $response ) = @_;
200 output_with_http_headers $query, $cookie, $response->output, 'json';
203 =head2 require_params
205 =over 4
207 my @values = C4::Service->require_params( @params );
209 =back
211 Check that each of of the parameters specified in @params was sent in the
212 request, then return their values in that order.
214 If a required parameter is not found, send a 'param' error to the browser.
216 =cut
218 sub require_params {
219 my ( $class, @params ) = @_;
221 my @values;
223 for my $param ( @params ) {
224 $class->return_error( 'params', "Missing '$param'" ) if ( !defined( $query->param( $param ) ) );
225 push @values, $query->param( $param );
228 return @values;
231 =head2 dispatch
233 =over 4
235 C4::Service->dispatch(
236 [ $path_regex, \@required_params, \&handler ],
240 =back
242 dispatch takes several array-refs, each one describing a 'route', to use the
243 Rails terminology.
245 $path_regex should be a string in regex-form, describing which methods and
246 paths this route handles. Each route is tested in order, from the top down, so
247 put more specific handlers first. Also, the regex is tested on the request
248 method, plus the path. For instance, you might use the route [ 'POST /', ... ]
249 to handle POST requests to your service.
251 Each named parameter in @required_params is tested for to make sure the route
252 matches, but does not raise an error if one is missing; it simply tests the next
253 route. If you would prefer to raise an error, instead use
254 C<C4::Service->require_params> inside your handler.
256 \&handler is called with each matched group in $path_regex in its arguments. For
257 example, if your service is accessed at the path /blah/123, and you call
258 C<dispatch> with the route [ 'GET /blah/(\\d+)', ... ], your handler will be called
259 with the argument '123'.

269 my ( $path, $params, $handler ) = @$route;
271 next unless ( my @match = ( ($query->request_method . ' ' . $path_info) =~ m,^$path$, ) );
273 for my $param ( @$params ) {
274 next ROUTE if ( !defined( $query->param ( $param ) ) );
277 $debug and warn "Using $path";
278 $handler->( @match );
279 return;
282 $class->return_error( 'no_handler', '' );
