Do we have (or think about) a shorthand to calling REST_API action, without
defining a service?
FULL DSL:
Services:
TimeService:
type: REST_API
parameters:
baseUrl:http://api.timezonedb.com
key:<my_api_key>
actions:
get-time:
task-parameters:
zone:
Workflow:
tasks:
timeInToronto:
action: TimeService:get-time
parameters:
zone: "America/Toronto"
SHORTCUT - may look something like this:
Workflow:
tasks:
timeInToronto:
action:std:REST_API
parameters:
baseUrl: "http://api.timezonedb.com";
method: "GET"
parameters: "zone=/America/Toronto&key=<my_api_key>"
Why asking:
1) analogy with std:send-email action. I wonder do we have to make user define
Service for std:send-email? and I think that for standard tasks we shouldn't
have to. If there is any thinking on REST_API, it may apply here.
2) For a one-off web service calls the complete syntax is may be overkill (but
yes, it comes handy for reuse). See examples below.
