School Project
So today i was working on a school project , and i made a call api consumption from my express app to a jenkins REST API
Context
We're making an api with node.js / Express , this call the api of Jenkins for getting the result of a job
.env
For making this API we use a .env file wich contain the data necessary to access jenkins, like the user or the token link to the user, we define it like this.
JOB_USER = <jenkins_user>
JOB_TOKEN = <jenkins_token>
JENKINS_URL = <Jenkins url>
Create express server
For insure that our api run proprelie , we created an application/server. You can find information on how to make one here
Jenkins Api Call
We make options for gettings informations from our .env like this
let options = {
url : "",
method: 'HEAD',
auth: {
'user': process.env.JOB_USER,
'pass': process.env.JOB_TOKEN
}
};
now we can make our routage
app.get("/jenkins", (req,res) => {
options.url = `${process.env.JENKINS_URL}/job/[you folder]/job/[you job]/lastBuild/api/json?pretty=true`
request.get(options, (err, response) => {
if (!err){
let status = JSON.parse(response.body)
res.send(status.result)
}
else {
res.send(err) ;
}
})
})
And with that i can now if my build run properly or i faced some trouble .
