Exposing an CSV Datasource¶
This example demonstrates how CSV data can be exposed as a data service.
Prerequisites¶
Info
Note that you can only read data from CSV files. The Micro Integrator does not support inserting, updating, or modifying data in a CSV file.
Download the Products.csv
file.
This file contains data about products (cars/motorcycles) that are
manufactured in an automobile company. The data table has the following
columns: ID
, Name
,
Classification
, and Price
.
Synapse configuration¶
Given below is the data service configuration you need to build. See the instructions on how to build and run this example.
Be sure to update the CSV datasource path.
<data name="CSV" transports="http https local">
<config enableOData="false" id="CSV">
<property name="csv_datasource">/path/to/csv/Products.csv</property>
<property name="csv_columnseperator">,</property>
<property name="csv_startingrow">2</property>
<property name="csv_hasheader">true</property>
<property name="csv_headerrow">1</property>
</config>
<query id="Q1" useConfig="CSV">
<result element="Products" rowName="Product">
<element column="ID" name="ID" xsdType="string"/>
<element column="Classification" name="Classification" xsdType="string"/>
<element column="Price" name="Price" xsdType="string"/>
<element column="Name" name="Name" xsdType="string"/>
</result>
</query>
<operation name="GetProductsOp">
<call-query href="Q1"/>
</operation>
<resource method="GET" path="Products">
<call-query href="Q1"/>
</resource>
</data>
Build and run¶
Create the artifacts:
- Set up WSO2 Integration Studio.
- Create a Data Service project.
- Create the data service with the configurations given above. Be sure to update the CSV datasource path.
- Deploy the artifacts in your Micro Integrator.
You can send an HTTP GET request to invoke the data service using cURL as shown below.
curl -X GET http://localhost:8290/services/CSV.HTTPEndpoint/Products
This will return the response in XML.
