Edge Micro and Conditional Flows?

[#1]

Any chance that support for conditional flows might be coming in the future?

[prabhat]

For this to happen, we would need to make routing logic pluggable. It will be pretty challenging to make it a plugin in current architecture but in next major version upgrade (where we may break backward compatibility), it's going to be possible.

[#3]

which changes are you referring to? microgateway or edge?

[prabhat]

In Microgteway. Whethere it's a plugin in Microgateway or it honors conditional flow logic defined on Edge, it will be a change on Microgateway.

@prabhat

Just had a question on this. I am pretty new to micro gateway. Isn't it possible to use node express module to achieve this.

[prabhat]

Yes, and for that matter any node.js code and modules. What does not exist on Microgateway now is a pluggable routing logic.

@prabhat

can you give me a % chance this will be a feature in the next 6 months?

You can implement conditional flows yourself through custom plugins. You would have to check for a specific path and verb and then implement the logic you need. What Prabhat was referring to is flow logic created in an Edge proxy being carried down to the micro proxy - that is not available yet but perhaps in a future version
