Superdesk Bridge bundle

This bundle is a bridge between the Superdesk Content API and the Superdesk Publisher.

Installation

1. Download SWPBridgeBundle
2. Enable the bundle and its dependencies
3. Import SWPUpdaterBundle routing file
4. Configure the SWPBridgeBundle

Step 1: Install SWPBridgeBundle with Composer

Run the following composer require command:

$ php composer.phar require swp/bridge-bundle

Step 2: Enable the bundle and its dependencies

Enable the bundle in AppKernel.php.

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new SWP\Bundle\BridgeBundle\SWPBridgeBundle()
    );
}

Step 3: Import SWPBridgeBundle routing file

You have to import SWPBridgeBundle routing file. You can use YAML or XML format.

YAML:

# app/config/routing.yml
swp_bridge:
    resource: "@SWPBridgeBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix:   /

Step 4: Configure the SWPBridgeBundle

Add the following parameters to your config.yml file.

# app/config/config.yml
swp_bridge:
    api:
        host: 'example.com'
    auth:
        client_id: 'my_client_id'
        username: 'my_username'
        password: 'my_password'

This is a minimum requirement to get started, see the section Everything about configuration for more details.

Everything about configuration

Configuration reference

swp_bridge:
    api:
        host: 'The hostname of your Content API instance. This option is required.'
        port: 'The port of your Content API Instance, defaults to 80.'
        protocol: 'Protocol to use to connect to your Content API Instance, options are: _http_ and _https_. Defaults to _http_.'
    auth:
        client_id: 'Client ID for authenticating with your Content API Instance. This option is required.'
        username: 'Username for authenticating with your Content API Instance. This option is required.'
        password: 'Password for authenticating with your Content API Instance. This option is required.'
    options: 'An array of options which will included in each call in GuzzleApiClient->makeApiCall(). The values defined here will override values from the Request object if the keys are identical.'

Adding custom http client options:

SWPBridgeBundle uses Guzzle to fetch data from the external server. You can add custom Guzzle options / headers for your http client by simply adding an array of options as a parameter in your configuration.
The example below shows how to add custom curl options.

# app/config/config.yml
swp_bridge:
    options:
        curl: # http://guzzle.readthedocs.org/en/latest/faq.html#how-can-i-add-custom-curl-options
            10203: # integer value of CURLOPT_RESOLVE
                 - "example.com:5050:localhost"  # This will resolve the host example.com to your localhost 

For more details see Guzzle documentation.

At this stage, the bundle is ready to be used by your application.

Development Configuration

The above example is specific for the Guzzle client and allows you to do custom hostname resolving, practical when using docker in your devevelopment environment. Just add 127.0.0.1 publicapi to your hosts file and change the value localhost to the ip address of you publicapi docker container.
