Hi, at first, thank you for your attention.
// ( FYI, not really the nerve of the problem 🙂
// I am currently using a custom API Proxy, interacting with my Apigee BaaS thanks to built in Node.JS // & usergrid SDK.
My proxy just GET a few data about a list of events that are stocked in my BaaS.
So if I make this request: (GET) https://7v7v-test.apigee.net/demo/evenements , this is the actual response :
[
{
"uuid": "9e804250-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"type": "evenement",
"name": "test3",
"created": 1502287022044,
"modified": 1502287022044,
"metadata": {
"path": "/evenements/9e804250-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"size": 322
}
},
{
"uuid": "930c484b-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"type": "evenement",
"name": "test2",
"created": 1502287002829,
"modified": 1502287002829,
"metadata": {
"path": "/evenements/930c484b-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"size": 322
}
},
{
"uuid": "8c812c5f-7d0a-11e7-9ea2-122e0737977d",
"type": "evenement",
"name": "test",
"created": 1502286991851,
"modified": 1502286991851,
"metadata": {
"path": "/evenements/8c812c5f-7d0a-11e7-9ea2-122e0737977d",
"size": 321
}
}
]OK that's great. Now I would like to filter some data in each object of the response, example: "uuid", "type", "created", "modified", "metadata.size".
I am actually using these Javascript fields filtering scripts & policies from this source: (an Apigee Developer):
applyFieldFilter.js (GitHub)
fieldFiltering.js (GitHub)
__________________________________________________________________________________
So I uploaded these scripts on my Apigee proxy, linked a custom policy to it, following the guidelines of the scripts commentaries.
Once these filtering scripts & polices applied, here comes the problem.
Here I'll show you how my Filtering policy looks like for the following request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Javascript timeLimit="800" name="fieldfiltering">
<Properties>
<Property name="fields">uuid</Property>
<Property name="action">exclude</Property>
</Properties>
<IncludeURL>jsc://fieldFiltering.js</IncludeURL>
<ResourceURL>jsc://applyFieldFilter.js</ResourceURL>
</Javascript>For the moment I only try to filter the "uuid".
Now when I make my request (GET) https://7v7v-test.apigee.net/demo/evenements, the response looks like this:
{
"0": {
"uuid": "9e804250-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"type": "evenement",
"name": "test3",
"created": 1502287022044,
"modified": 1502287022044,
"metadata": {
"path": "/evenements/9e804250-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"size": 322
}
},
"1": {
"uuid": "930c484b-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"type": "evenement",
"name": "test2",
"created": 1502287002829,
"modified": 1502287002829,
"metadata": {
"path": "/evenements/930c484b-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"size": 322
}
},
"2": {
"uuid": "8c812c5f-7d0a-11e7-9ea2-122e0737977d",
"type": "evenement",
"name": "test",
"created": 1502286991851,
"modified": 1502286991851,
"metadata": {
"path": "/evenements/8c812c5f-7d0a-11e7-9ea2-122e0737977d",
"size": 321
}
},
"diagnostics": {
"productName": null,
"appName": null,
"proxyName": "test_update_evenements",
"filterFields": [
"uuid"
],
"filterAction": "exclude"
}
}The problem is that the scripts adds a generic ID to each object, and therefore the parameter "uuid" of my policy is not taken in account: <Properties>
<Property name="fields">uuid</Property>
<Property name="action">exclude</Property>
</Properties>Now I can get it to delete the "uuid" of the object 0 and 1 if I pass as parameters to my policy:
<Properties>
<Property name="fields">0.uuid,1.uuid</Property>
<Property name="action">exclude</Property>
</Properties>Here see in the response 0.uuid & 1.uuid got filtered:
{
"0": {
"type": "evenement",
"name": "test3",
"created": 1502287022044,
"modified": 1502287022044,
"metadata": {
"path": "/evenements/9e804250-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"size": 322
}
},
"1": {
"type": "evenement",
"name": "test2",
"created": 1502287002829,
"modified": 1502287002829,
"metadata": {
"path": "/evenements/930c484b-7d0a-11e7-8e06-12c1e35638f0",
"size": 322
}
},
"2": {
"uuid": "8c812c5f-7d0a-11e7-9ea2-122e0737977d",
"type": "evenement",
"name": "test",
"created": 1502286991851,
"modified": 1502286991851,
"metadata": {
"path": "/evenements/8c812c5f-7d0a-11e7-9ea2-122e0737977d",
"size": 321
}
},
"diagnostics": {
"productName": null,
"appName": null,
"proxyName": "test_update_evenements",
"filterFields": [
"0.uuid",
"1.uuid"
],
"filterAction": "exclude"
}
}As you may have guessed it, I do not want to refer individually to each entity in the parameters.
I simply don't know how to refer to these "0", "1", "2"... objects, with only one parameter that will apply indefinitely to each object.
OVERALL I would prefer to NOT have these numeric fields before my objects.
Part of the problem is that it transforms my array into 1 object, and that is not how I want my API response to be like.
Another solution may be to not create these "0", "1", "2"... objects ? So I could directly refer to the fields to filter ?
The answer is maybe very basic but I lack of knowledge in programming ! 😄
Thank you for not being afraid of my long post !
I tried to detail & explain my problem as much as possible, if you have any question or tip please feel to comment.
