Request

The Request trigger is used to generate message exchanges on demand. The routes would be triggered when a request is made on the configured REST endpoint and the processed data will be returned as a response.

Configuration

You can specify "trigger": "request" in routes.json. Apart from this, you have to specify the trigger data in routes.json. This trigger data comprises of the host, port, and the service path, basically this would be the endpoint when requested, triggers the specified route, and return the processed data as a response.

Sample Route Configuration with Timer

[
	{
		"datasource": "httpsource",
		"transformers": [
			"jsonataA"
		],
		"trigger": "request",
		"triggerData": {
			"host": "localhost",
			"port": "8090",
			"path": "/valueA"
		}
	}
]

Disclaimer: The endpoint configured with trigger data accepts only the GET request.

Working Example

The integration example with request triggered HTTP as a data source, JsonAta as a transformer is available on GitHub DataBridge Example.
