How to debug service layer, custom handlers – Cloud Application Programming Model
Github repository:
To be published soon…
Introduction:
- In this session, we will look at how to debug the service layer by accessing the _req object
- Also, we will look at how we can add more complex custom handlers
Synopsis:
- The generic handlers serve most CRUD operations out-of-the-box
- But to add custom logic, we have to provide our own custom handlers
- Also, while developing complex custom handlers, we need a way to be able to debug and set breakpoints to access the values of variables at different lines
Steps:
- In this example, we will explore the contents of the _req object in our custom handler
- To understand the _req object, we will take an example where the end user needs to provide the password in a custom header in order to access a protected resource
- We will set debug points in our code to look into the structure of the _req object and how we can access the custom header information
- Then we will also add more custom code to compare the encrypted password with the password supplied by the user before returning the protected resource

Conclusion:
- This video should give you a clear idea on how to implement complex custom handlers in Cloud Application Programming Model
- Also, the _req object is quite important when it comes to middleware functions. You should now be comfortable with accessing, modifying the _req object to suit your needs
- If you have any questions or comments, please list them below and I will be happy to answer
