## 🏗️ Interface Categories
## Usage
### 📡 Request/Response Interfaces
The `@serve.zone/interfaces` module provides a robust set of TypeScript interfaces designed to standardize interaction with various services and components in a cloud-native environment. The interfaces are targeted at simplifying the integration process with container orchestration, network configurations, logging, and service definitions. The module is particularly useful if you're working on infrastructure or service orchestration solutions using Node.js and TypeScript.
This document guides you through a comprehensive use case scenario of `@serve.zone/interfaces`. We will cover how to effectively utilize these interfaces to set up cloud services, manage application configurations, and handle system-related communications. This tutorial will explore various feature sets within the module, focusing on real-world implementations and practical coding strategies.
### Prerequisites
Before diving in, make sure to satisfy the following prerequisites:
- **Node.js**: Ensure you have Node.js installed (preferably the latest LTS version).
- **TypeScript**: Your environment should support TypeScript, as this module leverages strong typing offered by TypeScript.
- **Cloud Account Access**: Some of the interfaces interact with live cloud services; thus, ensure you have necessary credentials (like API tokens) available for testing or integration.
### Core Interfaces and Scenarios
#### 1. Handling Typed Requests
One fundamental aspect is defining typed requests, which standardizes API call definitions across different microservices or components. The module offers interfaces such as `IRequest_GetAllImages`, `IRequest_CreateCluster`, that you can extend or implement within your service logic to ensure strong typing and consistency.
Typed contracts for API communication:
```typescript
import { IRequest_GetAllImages } from '@serve.zone/interfaces/requests/image';
import {
IRequest_GetAllImages,
IRequest_CreateCluster,
IRequest_DeployService
} from '@serve.zone/interfaces';
class ImageService {
private cloudlyClient;
constructor(cloudlyClient: CloudlyApiClient) {
this.cloudlyClient = cloudlyClient;
// Type-safe request
const request: IRequest_GetAllImages['request'] = {
identity: userIdentity,
filters: {
tag: 'production'
}
};
public async fetchAllImages() {
const request: IRequest_GetAllImages['request'] = {
identity: this.cloudlyClient.identity,
};
const response = await this.cloudlyClient.typedsocketClient.fireTypedRequest<IRequest_GetAllImages>(request);
return response.images;
}
}
// Type-safe response
const response: IRequest_GetAllImages['response'] = {
images: [...]
};
```
In the above code, we structured a simple function to retrieve all images from a service, assuming the `cloudlyClient` is your authenticated API client. The typed request interface ensures that both the request and response align with the expected types.
### 📦 Data Models
#### 2. Logging and Smart Logging Interfaces
Logging is a crucial aspect of cloud applications. The module provides interfaces to assist in integrating logging systems like `@push.rocks/smartlog-interfaces`.
Core data structures for Cloudly entities:
```typescript
import { ILogger, ILogConfig } from '@push.rocks/smartlog-interfaces';
import {
ICluster,
IService,
IImage,
ISecret,
IServer
} from '@serve.zone/interfaces';
class LoggerService {
private logger: ILogger;
constructor(logConfig: ILogConfig) {
this.logger = new SmartLogger(logConfig);
// Define a service
const service: IService = {
id: 'service-123',
data: {
name: 'api-service',
imageId: 'image-456',
imageVersion: '2.0.0',
environment: {
NODE_ENV: 'production'
},
scaleFactor: 3,
balancingStrategy: 'round-robin',
ports: {
web: 80,
metrics: 9090
},
domains: [
{ name: 'api.example.com' }
],
deploymentIds: [],
deploymentDirectiveIds: []
}
public logMessage(logPackage: ILogPackage) {
this.logger.log(logPackage);
}
}
};
```
This illustrates a logger service utilizing `ILogConfig` to configure and initiate a logging mechanism. You can log structured data using `logPackage`, thus enhancing traceability and debugging efficiency.
### 🔐 Authentication & Identity
#### 3. Container Service Management
Managing containers, particularly when dealing with microservices, can be complex, but interfaces like `IService`, `ICluster`, and `IServer` aid in structuring container service management.
Identity management interfaces:
```typescript
import { IService } from '@serve.zone/interfaces/data/service';
import {
IIdentity,
IServiceToken,
IPermission
} from '@serve.zone/interfaces';
function defineService(): IService {
return {
id: 'unique-service-id',
data: {
name: 'my-container-service',
imageId: 'unique-image-id',
imageVersion: '1.0.0',
environment: { KEY: 'VALUE' },
secretBundleId: 'bundle-id',
scaleFactor: 2,
balancingStrategy: 'round-robin',
ports: { web: 80 },
domains: [{ name: 'example.com' }],
deploymentIds: [],
deploymentDirectiveIds: [],
}
};
}
const identity: IIdentity = {
id: 'user-789',
name: 'service-account',
type: 'service',
permissions: ['cluster:read', 'service:write'],
tokenHash: 'hashed-token',
metadata: {
createdAt: new Date(),
lastAccess: new Date()
}
};
```
In the example, a service definition is drafted, encapsulating critical service metadata, including its environment variables, domain configuration, and load balancing strategy. Adhering to `IService` ensures that all necessary service data is encapsulated correctly.
### 🌐 Network Configuration
#### 4. Network Configuration and Routing
Networking is integral to cloud-native applications. Interfaces in `@serve.zone/interfaces` help shape network interaction patterns.
Networking and routing interfaces:
```typescript
import { IReverseProxyConfig } from '@serve.zone/interfaces/data/traffic';
import {
IReverseProxyConfig,
IDomainConfig,
ILoadBalancerConfig
} from '@serve.zone/interfaces';
const proxyConfig: IReverseProxyConfig = {
domain: 'example.com',
path: '/',
serviceAddress: 'http://service:8080',
domain: 'app.example.com',
path: '/api',
serviceAddress: 'http://api-service:3000',
ssl: true,
headers: {
'X-Real-IP': '$remote_addr'
}
};
function configureProxy() {
// Logic to apply the proxyConfig, potentially using Typedi, Smartclient, or similar libraries.
}
```
Here, `IReverseProxyConfig` is used to define a reverse proxy for a service. Such configurations are necessary for routing external requests into internal services securely.
### 📊 Monitoring & Metrics
### Advanced Interface Utilization
#### Monitoring and Metrics Collection
For observability, you can track system metrics using `IServerMetrics` or cluster status interfaces.
Observability interfaces:
```typescript
import { IServerMetrics } from '@serve.zone/interfaces/data/server';
import {
IServerMetrics,
IServiceMetrics,
IClusterHealth
} from '@serve.zone/interfaces';
function reportMetrics(metrics: IServerMetrics) {
console.log(`CPU Usage: ${metrics.cpuUsageInPercent}%`);
console.log(`Memory Usage: ${metrics.memoryUsageinMB}MB`);
}
const sampleMetrics: IServerMetrics = {
serverId: 'server-123',
cpuUsageInPercent: 45,
memoryUsageinMB: 2048,
memoryAvailableInMB: 4096,
containerCount: 10,
containerMetrics: [],
const metrics: IServerMetrics = {
serverId: 'server-001',
cpuUsageInPercent: 65,
memoryUsageinMB: 3072,
memoryAvailableInMB: 8192,
diskUsageInPercent: 40,
networkInMbps: 100,
networkOutMbps: 150,
containerCount: 12,
containerMetrics: [...]
};
reportMetrics(sampleMetrics);
```
Implementing such metrics tracking provides insight into performance bottlenecks and helps strategize scaling decisions.
### 🔒 Secret Management
#### Certificate Management
To handle SSL certificates programmatically, utilize interfaces such as `IRequest_Any_Cloudly_GetCertificateForDomain`.
Security and credential interfaces:
```typescript
import { IRequest_Any_Cloudly_GetCertificateForDomain } from '@serve.zone/interfaces/requests/certificate';
import {
ISecretGroup,
ISecretBundle,
IEncryptedData
} from '@serve.zone/interfaces';
async function fetchCertificate(cloudlyClient: CloudlyApiClient, domainName: string) {
const request: IRequest_Any_Cloudly_GetCertificateForDomain['request'] = {
identity: cloudlyClient.identity,
domainName: domainName,
type: 'ssl'
};
const secretGroup: ISecretGroup = {
id: 'secrets-123',
name: 'database-credentials',
secrets: [
{
key: 'DB_HOST',
value: 'encrypted-value',
encrypted: true
},
{
key: 'DB_PASSWORD',
value: 'encrypted-value',
encrypted: true
}
],
metadata: {
environment: 'production',
service: 'api'
}
};
```
return await cloudlyClient.typedsocketClient.fireTypedRequest<IRequest_Any_Cloudly_GetCertificateForDomain>(request);
## 📚 Common Usage Patterns
### Creating Type-Safe API Clients
```typescript
import {
IRequest_CreateService,
IService
} from '@serve.zone/interfaces';
class ServiceClient {
async createService(
serviceData: IService['data']
): Promise<IService> {
const request: IRequest_CreateService['request'] = {
identity: this.identity,
serviceData
};
const response = await this.client.send<IRequest_CreateService>(
'createService',
request
);
return response.service;
}
}
```
Managing certificates dynamically via typed requests simplifies deployment and automates the security dimensions of your applications.
#### Integrating with External Messaging Services
Use `IRequest_SendEmail` to integrate platform services for sending emails:
### Validating Incoming Data
```typescript
import { IRequest_SendEmail } from '@serve.zone/interfaces/platformservice/mta';
import { ICluster } from '@serve.zone/interfaces';
import { validateType } from 'your-validation-library';
async function sendNotification(emailClient: any) {
const emailRequest: IRequest_SendEmail['request'] = {
title: 'Welcome to ServeZone!',
from: 'service@company.com',
to: 'user@example.com',
body: '<h1>Congratulations</h1><p>Your account has been created successfully.</p>',
};
await emailClient.sendEmail(emailRequest);
function validateClusterData(data: unknown): ICluster {
if (!validateType<ICluster>(data)) {
throw new Error('Invalid cluster data');
}
return data;
}
```
This approach demonstrates abstracting the email sending functionality using typed interfaces, contributing to code consistency and robustness.
