Nx Meta: Nx API access from the plugin

Answered

Hi.

 

There are many cases that the plug-in calls Nx API. The API requires to authenticate.

 

When plugin is installed and is configured to run, Nx requires a user to authenticate. When the plugin is running and needs to call Nx API, it needs to ask the user to input credential again. From UX point of view, this is a gliltch. Is there any way to make it graceful?

  Hi Jason,

  That is reasonable.

  We have already discussed it internally but it will not get into SDK before official Nx Witness 4.0 is released.

  But you will definitely see REST handlers as a part of SDK in future.

  Hi Sergey,

   

  Has this been implemented yet? I would like my plugin to access every system feature offered by the API.

   

  Thank you.

  Hi everyone,

  Just stumbled upon this thread.

  Sorry for not bringing any good news, but we still don't have this feature. There is a possibility that the feature is going to be introduced in v. 4.2 though, but I can't be certain about it right now, because this version's scope is still not finalized, so cannot gurantee it.

  Hi Daniel,

  It's still not implemented in the Metadata SDK, at the moment.

  You can access server API from the plugin by using http library (like curl, for example) and connecting to the localhost:7001.
