Interract with the API

rf provides a simplified way to interract with the API, without handling authentication, API URL or network type.

rf api [method] [path]
rf api GET /users

You may use :lastId as a placeholder to refer to the latest created item:

rf create test
rf api get /invoices/:lastId

Usage with other clients

A good use of this CLI is to use it with httpie or curl for advanced HTTP requests.

http :4000/users Authorization:"Bearer $(rf --dev auth:token)" "X-Network":test

Concepts

Profile

A Profile is a configuration. It defines the API URL, the Auth0 settings, the network type (live or test), and the user's credentials.

The default profiles available are the following:

Profile API Network Type UI to use
-p dev or --dev (Default) Localhost test http://localhost:3000/
-p staging or --staging Production API test https://baguette-app.request.finance/
-p prod or --prod Production API live https://app.request.finance/

You can have custom profiles, using --profile [NAME] or -p [NAME].

Configuration for the profiles is stored in ~/.rf/

Templates

The rf create command is based on json templates and the faker library. This template will be used as the body of the HTTP POST request.

See the declarative invoice template as an example.

The first argument of this command is the name of the template. You can use pre-defined templates (run rf templates:list for the list) or create your own.

For templates others than invoices, you may create another folder, and pass the folder name in the --type flag. eg: rf create mytemplate --type expense-reports. The folder name must match the endpoint you want to call on the API!

Override values

You can override each key in the template by passing it to the create command: for instance, if you want to override invoiceItems[0].currency in the template above, you can use rf create declarative invoiceCurrency=USD

You can also override a value per profile, using the defaults key in the configuration file.

Commands

List available templates:

rf templates:list

Update templates based on this git repo (cloned locally):

cd PATH/TO/LOCAL/REPO
git pull
rf templates:update

Templates are stored in ~/.rf/templates/[TYPE]
