Rest API

1. Start REST Service

The RestAPI service can be started in the following way:

kclvm -m gunicorn "kclvm.program.rpc-server.__main__:create_app()" -t 120 -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker -b :2021

The service can then be requested via the POST protocol:

$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:2021/api:protorpc/BuiltinService.Ping --data '{}'
{
"error": "",
"result": {}
}

The POST request and the returned JSON data are consistent with the structure defined by Protobuf.

2. BuiltinService

Where the /api:protorpc/BuiltinService.Ping path represents the Ping method of the BuiltinService service.

The complete BuiltinService is defined by Protobuf:

service BuiltinService {
rpc Ping(Ping_Args) returns(Ping_Result);
rpc ListMethod(ListMethod_Args) returns(ListMethod_Result);
}

message Ping_Args {
string value = 1;
}
message Ping_Result {
string value = 1;
}

message ListMethod_Args {
// empty
}
message ListMethod_Result {
repeated string method_name_list = 1;
}

The Ping method can verify whether the service is normal, and the ListMethod method can query the list of all services and functions provided.

3. KclvmService

The KclvmService service is a service related to KCL functionality. The usage is the same as the BuiltinService service.

For example, there is the following Person structure definition:

schema Person:
key: str

check:
"value" in key # 'key' is required and 'key' must contain "value"

Then we want to use Person to verify the following JSON data:

{ "key": "value" }

This can be done through the ValidateCode method of the KclvmService service. Refer to the ValidateCode_Args structure of the ValidateCode method:

message ValidateCode_Args {
string data = 1;
string code = 2;
string schema = 3;
string attribute_name = 4;
string format = 5;
}

Construct the JSON data required by the POST request according to the ValidateCode_Args structure, which contains the Person definition and the JSON data to be verified:

{
"code": "\nschema Person:\n key: str\n\n check:\n \"value\" in key # 'key' is required and 'key' must contain \"value\"\n",
"data": "{\"attr_name\": {\"key\": \"value\"}}"
}

Save this JSON data to the vet-hello.json file and verify it with the following command:

$ curl -X POST \
http://127.0.0.1:2021/api:protorpc/KclvmService.ValidateCode \
-H "accept: application/json" \
--data @./vet-hello.json
{
"error": "",
"result": {
"success": true
}
}

4. Complete Protobuf Service Definition

Cross-language APIs defined via Protobuf(https://github.com/kcl-lang/kcl-go/blob/main/pkg/spec/gpyrpc/gpyrpc.proto):

// Copyright 2021 The KCL Authors. All rights reserved.
//
// This file defines the request parameters and return structure of the KCL RPC server.
// We can use the following command to start a KCL RPC server.
//
// ```
// kclvm -m kclvm.program.rpc-server -http=:2021
// ```
//
// The service can then be requested via the POST protocol:
//
// ```
// $ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:2021/api:protorpc/BuiltinService.Ping --data '{}'
// {
// "error": "",
// "result": {}
// }
// ```
