HOWTO WRITE an APPLICATION above AGL FRAMEWORK ============================================== Programmation Languages for Applications ----------------------------------------- ### Writing an HTML5 application Developers of HTML5 applications (client side) can easily create applications for AGL framework using their preferred HTML5 framework. Developers may also take advantage of powerful server side plugins to improve application behavior. Server side plugins return an application/json mine-type and can be accessed though either HTTP or Websockets. In a near future, JSON-RPC protocol should be added to complete current x-afb-json1 protocol. Two examples of HTML5 applications are given: - [afb-client](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/app-framework-demo.git;a=tree;f=afb-client) a simple "hello world" application template - [afm-client](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/app-framework-demo.git;a=tree;f=afm-client) a simple "Home screen" application template ### Writing a Qt application Writing Qt applications is also supported. Qt offers standard API to send request through HTTP or WebSockets. It is also possible to write QML applications. A sample QML application [token-websock] is avaliable.. - [token-websock](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/app-framework-binder.git;a=blob;f=test/token-websock.qml) a simple "hello world" application in QML ### Writing "C" application C applications can use afb-daemon binder through a websocket connection. The library **libafbwsc** is provided for C clients that need to connect with an afb-daemon binder. The program **afb-client-demo** is the C example that use **libafbwsc** library. Source code is available here [src/afb-client-demo.c](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/app-framework-binder.git;a=blob;f=src/afb-client-demo.c). Current implementation relies on libsystemd and file descriptors. This model might be review in the future to support secure sockets and free the dependency with libsystemd. Handling sessions within applications ------------------------------------- Applications should understand sessions and tokens management when interacting with afb-daemon binder. Applications are communicating with their private binder(afb-daemon) using a network connection or potentially any other connection channel. While current version does not yet implement unix domain this feature might be added in a near future. Developers need to be warn that HTTP protocol is a none connected protocol. This prevents from using HTTP socket connection to authenticate clients. For this reason, the binder should authenticate the application by using a shared secret. The secret is named "token" and the identification of client is named "session". The examples **token-websock.qml** and **afb-client** are demonstrating how authentication and sessions are managed. ### Handling sessions Plugins and other binder feature need to keep track of client instances. This is especially important for plugins running as services as they may typically have to keep each client's data separated. For HTML5 applications, the web runtime handles the cookie of session that the binder afb-daemon automatically sets. Session identifier can be set using the parameter **uuid** or **x-afb-uuid** in URI requests. Within current version of the framework session UUID is supported by both HTTP requests and websocket negotiation. ### Exchanging tokens At application start, AGL framework communicates a shared secret to both binder and client application. This initial secret is called the "initial token". For each of its client application, the binder manages a current active token for session management. This authentication token can be use to restrict access to some plugin's methods. The token must be included in URI request on HTTP or during websockets connection using parameter **token** or **x-afb-token**. To ensure security, tokens must be refreshed periodically. ### Example of session management In following examples, we suppose that **afb-daemon** is launched with something equivalent to: $ afb-daemon --port=1234 --token=123456 [...] making the expectation that **AuthLogin** plugin is requested as default. #### Using curl First, connects with the initial token, 123456: $ curl http://localhost:1234/api/auth/connect?token=123456 { "jtype": "afb-reply", "request": { "status": "success", "token": "0aef6841-2ddd-436d-b961-ae78da3b5c5f", "uuid": "850c4594-1be1-4e9b-9fcc-38cc3e6ff015" }, "response": {"token": "A New Token and Session Context Was Created"} } It returns an answer containing session UUID, 850c4594-1be1-4e9b-9fcc-38cc3e6ff015, and a refreshed token, 850c4594-1be1-4e9b-9fcc-38cc3e6ff015. Check if session and token is valid: $ curl http://localhost:1234/api/auth/check?token=0aef6841-2ddd-436d-b961-ae78da3b5c5f\&uuid=850c4594-1be1-4e9b-9fcc-38cc3e6ff015 { "jtype": "afb-reply", "request": {"status":"success"}, "response": {"isvalid":true} } Refresh the token: $ curl http://localhost:1234/api/auth/refresh?token=0aef6841-2ddd-436d-b961-ae78da3b5c5f\&uuid=850c4594-1be1-4e9b-9fcc-38cc3e6ff015 { "jtype": "afb-reply", "request": { "status":"success", "token":"b8ec3ec3-6ffe-448c-9a6c-efda69ad7bd9" }, "response": {"token":"Token was refreshed"} } Close the session: curl http://localhost:1234/api/auth/logout?token=b8ec3ec3-6ffe-448c-9a6c-efda69ad7bd9\&uuid=850c4594-1be1-4e9b-9fcc-38cc3e6ff015 { "jtype": "afb-reply", "request": {"status": "success"}, "response": {"info":"Token and all resources are released"} } Checking on closed session for uuid should be refused: curl http://localhost:1234/api/auth/check?token=b8ec3ec3-6ffe-448c-9a6c-efda69ad7bd9\&uuid=850c4594-1be1-4e9b-9fcc-38cc3e6ff015 { "jtype": "afb-reply", "request": { "status": "failed", "info": "invalid token's identity" } } #### Using afb-client-demo > The program is packaged within AGL in the rpm **libafbwsc-dev** Here is an example of exchange using **afb-client-demo**: $ afb-client-demo ws://localhost:1234/api?token=123456 auth connect ON-REPLY 1:auth/connect: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success", "token":"63f71a29-8b52-4f9b-829f-b3028ba46b68","uuid":"5fcc3f3d-4b84-4fc7-ba66-2d8bd34ae7d1"}, "response":{"token":"A New Token and Session Context Was Created"}} auth check ON-REPLY 2:auth/check: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success"},"response":{"isvalid":true}} auth refresh ON-REPLY 4:auth/refresh: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success", "token":"8b8ba8f4-1b0c-48fa-962d-4a00a8c9157e"},"response":{"token":"Token was refreshed"}} auth check ON-REPLY 5:auth/check: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success"},"response":{"isvalid":true}} auth refresh ON-REPLY 6:auth/refresh: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success", "token":"e83b36f8-d945-463d-b983-5d8ed73ba529"},"response":{"token":"Token was refreshed"}} After closing connection, reconnect as here after: $ afb-client-demo ws://localhost:1234/api?token=e83b36f8-d945-463d-b983-5d8ed73ba529\&uuid=5fcc3f3d-4b84-4fc7-ba66-2d8bd34ae7d1 auth check ON-REPLY 1:auth/check: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success"},"response":{"isvalid":true}} Same connection check using **curl**: $ curl http://localhost:1234/api/auth/check?token=e83b36f8-d945-463d-b983-5d8ed73ba529\&uuid=5fcc3f3d-4b84-4fc7-ba66-2d8bd34ae7d1 {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success"},"response":{"isvalid":true}} Format of replies ----------------- Replies use javascript object returned as serialized JSON.
