Hi all, When publishing to external stores, at runtime we need to use API create, life-cycle change, create a version, add API thumbnail, delete Publisher REST APIs. In order to create the API payload, we need to do the mapping from API object to APIDTO. Reusing the existing APIDTO or APIMappingUtil classes are not possible as we do not import rest.api dependencies to impl level. Creating the payload manually from scratch will not be a very cleaner approach, also we will be duplicating the same logic.
Hence following are the options which might help us to achieve this. - Generate a REST client using publisher REST API swagger (using openapi-generator plugin) and pack it as a jar in the product (packing the component inside service-stubs). But for that, we need to pack an additional set of dependencies to lib as well. For example, the generated client is using okhttp client. We also need to add the APIMappingUtil logic (to map API to DTO) as util class inside the same client. - Generate only the DTO classes using publisher REST API swagger and pack it as a jar in service-stubs. However, even in this case, API to DTO object mapping will need to be defined separately in the same service client. Conversion from DTO to JSON and invoking the HTTP client need to be handled in WSO2APIPublisher code. - Use import-export webapp, to import the API and modify the api.json to include the artifact properties apiOwner, advertiseOnly, redirectURL, zip, and export it to the external Store. A separate REST API call to change the lifecycle of the API to "Published" state, needs to be done. One of the main drawbacks of the first two options is maintaining the DTO, Mapping logic in two different places whenever we do a change to the REST API. Appreciate your response on this regard.
