• James Griffin (Princeton University Library)
• christina chortaria (Princeton University Library)
• Michael Klein (Northwestern University)
• Thomas Scherz (University of Cincinnati)

Agenda

• Update on browse-everything 2.0 API development
  • James has created and has been progressing with a separate repository:
    • https://github.com/jrgriffiniii/browse-everything-next/tree/fast_jsonapi
  • Testing two JSON-API Gems (rails_json_api and fast_jsonapi)
  • New Resource Classes
    • Sessions
    • Bytestreams
    • Containers
    • Authorizations (being integrated)
    • Uploads (forthcoming)
  • Sessions
    • Holds information needed to access cloud storage provider APIs
  • Bytestreams
    • Generalizes the model of a cloud storage file
  • Containers
    • Generalizes the model of a cloud storage folder
  • Authorizations
    • This is needed to support OAuth workflows
    • Should a Session require that multiple authorization attempts be made, this handles those cases
  • Uploads
    • These are actually going to contain the Bytestreams (files) and Containers (directories) which will be selected for upload
    • I argue in favor of keeping Uploads separated from Sessions given that we want to ensure that users can reuse the same Session objects while creating a queue of unprocessed Uploads

Notes

James: Will contact Adam Arling of NU before proceeding with React/StencilJS

James: Will schedule pairing with Thomas to spec out API test suites

James: Documentation/diagrams/slides for the next update

Testing:

RSpec API for the Rails API

Request specs

Controller specs

Feature specs

Beyond this, avoid JavaScript testing in the Rails layer

JavaScript: Jest framework

(Works with React, James suspects that it work with StencilJS)
