Components

Add Component
Creates a new component project in the component root directory using a predefined template.
Operation is restricted to super_user roles only
operation (required) - must always be add_component
project (required) - the name of the project you wish to create
Body
{
    "operation": "add_component",
    "project": "my-component"
}
Response: 200
{
  "message": "Successfully added project: my-component"
}
Deploy Component
Will deploy a component using either a base64-encoded string representation of a .tar file (the output from package_component) or a package value, which can be any valid NPM reference, such as a GitHub repo, an NPM package, a tarball, a local directory or a website.\
If deploying with the payload option, HarperDB will decrypt the base64-encoded string, reconstitute the .tar file of your project folder, and extract it to the component root project directory.\
If deploying with the package option, the package value will be written to harperdb-config.yaml. Then npm install will be utilized to install the component in the node_modules directory located in the hdb root. The value is a package reference, which should generally be a URL reference, as described here (it is also possible to include NPM registerd packages and file paths). URL package references can directly reference tarballs that can be installed as a package. However, the most common and recommended usage is to install from a Git repository, which can be combined with a tag to deploy a specific version directly from versioned source control. When using tags, we highly recommend that you use the semver directive to ensure consistent and reliable installation by NPM. In addition to tags, you can also reference branches or commit numbers. Here is an example URL package reference to a (public) Git repository that doesn't require authentication:
https://github.com/HarperDB/application-template#semver:v1.0.0
or this can be shortened to:
HarperDB/application-template#semver:v1.0.0
You can also install from private repository if you have an installed SSH keys on the server:
git+ssh://[email protected]:my-org/my-app.git#semver:v1.0.0
Or you can use a Github token:
https://<my-token>@github.com/my-org/my-app#semver:v1.0.0
Note that your component will be installed by NPM. If your component has dependencies, NPM will attempt to download and install these as well. NPM normally uses the public registry.npmjs.org registry. If you are installing without network access to this, you may wish to define custom registry locations if you have any dependencies that need to be installed. NPM will install the deployed component and any dependencies in node_modules in the hdb root directory (typically ~/hdb/node_modules).
Note: After deploying a component a restart may be required

Package Component
Creates a temporary .tar file of the specified project folder, then reads it into a base64-encoded string and returns an object with the string and the payload.
Operation is restricted to super_user roles only
