Worker API

Fusio provides support to implement actions in multiple programming languages. To support these different languages Fusio uses a worker system. This means that the action code is not directly executed at Fusio but instead the request gets forwarded to a worker which then executes the action and returns a response. The worker is then implemented in the target programming language which we want to support i.e. Javascript, Python or Java. Through this your action code can use all features of the language. You can find a list of worker implementations at our overview page. To support a specific language you only need to implement a worker which provides a simple REST API.

Types

This section contains a list of supported connection types. A connection type basically represents a connection to a popular service which is available in most programming languages i.e. like mysql or http. At an action the user obtains such a connection through the connection manager so that a user does not need to configure such services at an action. The worker decides which implementation should be used for a specific type but it is recommended to use either a native or popular solution so that most developers know how to work with this service. I.e. our nodejs worker uses the mysql2 npm package to provide a mysql connection and axios as http client.

Fusio.Adapter.Sql.Connection.Sql

A simple connection to a database. The type defines which database we try to connect. Your worker does not need to support all types but you should at least implement mysql support.

{
  "type": "pdo_mysql",
  "host": "db host",
  "username": "db user",
  "password": "db password",
  "database": "db name"
}

Type	Description
pdo_mysql	Connection to a MySQL or MariaDB server
pdo_pgsql	Connection to a PostgreSQL server
sqlsrv	Connection to a MSSQL server
oci8	Connection to a Oracle server
sqlanywhere	Connection to a SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere server

Fusio.Adapter.Sql.Connection.SqlAdvanced

Basically this is the same connection as sql but we use a connection string to connect to a database. Through this it is possible to pass additional arguments to the connection.

{
  "url": "mysql://user:secret@localhost/mydb"
}

Fusio.Adapter.Http.Connection.Http

A HTTP client to make requests. The url parameter indicates the base url. The username, password and proxy settings are optional.

{
  "url": "https://api.acme.com",
  "username": "foo",
  "password": "bar",
  "proxy": "proxy ip"
}

Fusio.Adapter.Mongodb.Connection.MongoDB

A connection to a MongoDB server.

{
  "url": "mongodb://localhost:27017",
  "database": "my_db"
}

Fusio.Adapter.Elasticsearch.Connection.Elasticsearch

A connection to a Elasticsearch server.

{
  "host": "192.168.1.1:9200,192.168.1.2"
}
