As known, SOAJS offers a wide range of solutions for APIs.
Assuming you are using a different technology, nodeJS based, now using the 'soajs.nodejs' middleware, you can benefit from all SOAJS advantages.

How does it work on init
...
Using the following environment variables:
...
the middleware is going to invoke the controller and get the registry. Using the service configuration provided, the mw will auto reload the registry every "serviceConfig.awareness.autoRelaodRegistry"
Once the registry is loaded, the middleware is now ready to act on request.
How does it work on request
...
Once a request is reached, the SOAJS controller will be passing through the request headers a 'soajsinjectobj' which will be mapped within the middleware to the following standard object:
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

{
getDatabases: returns database object if dbName provided, if not, return all core and tenant meta databases
getServiceConfig: returns service configuration object
getDeployer: returns deployer object
getCustom: return custom object
getResources: returns resource object if resourceName provided, if not returns all resources
getServices: returns service object if serviceName provided, if not, returns all services
getDaemons: returns daemon object if daemonName provided, if not, returns all daemons
reload: reload registry

Require this Middle Ware in your restful nodejs service, and append it to your app.
Consequently, anywhere in your APIs you can get your soajs object and use the data / functions as follows:
// require the mw
const soajsMW = require('soajs.nodejs');
// pass it to your service app
app.use(soajsMW({serviceName : 'test'}));
// use it in your requests
app.post('/helloworld', function(req, res){ var soajs = req.soajs;
// soajs.key.iKey;
// soajs.reg.getDatabases(); });});
