Source Adapter Response API (JavaScript)

The Source Adapter Response API provides access to the HTTP response context (typically as a variable called resp) and can be used in your model or controller. The response object manages the control flow of your JavaScript business logic, so it is important to always call resp.send() in your functions so that they don’t hang.

params

A hash of parameters available from the request.

createObject = resp.params.create_object;
var postData = JSON.stringify({ 'product': createObject });
// ...
resp.send('someId');

header

Access the response headers.

resp.header['Content-Type']
// 'application/json'
resp.send(true);

send(value)

Return program control.

Most controller and model methods will need to do this.

app.get('/status', {}, function(req,resp){
  resp.send('ok');
});

exception

Set an exception for the response.

resp.exception = 'Error accessing web service!';
resp.send(true);

currentUser

Returns the current user of the response context.

app.get('/echo_user', {}, function(req,resp){
  var user = resp.currentUser;
  resp.send(user);
});
