REST API Configuration

The REST Endpoint for the Frontend application can be configured using a JSON file. That JSON file has to be served at /environments/data-sources/environment-information.json and will be loaded on initial request.

The environment-information.json contains two configurations:

Property

Description

Property

Description

taskanaRestUrl

The root path of the REST Service. Please note that you have append /api . Otherwise the Frontend application will not find the REST Service.

taskanaLogoutUrl

The location a user is redirected to when a logout is triggered.

The default environment-information.json file can be found in our GitHub repository.

UI Customization

Some TASKANA UI elements, such as custom properties, can be configured using a JSON file. That json file has to be served at /environments/data-sources/taskana-customization.json and will be loaded on initial request.

The default taskana-customization.json will be found in our GitHub repository.

If you have any questions regarding the UI Customization, please donโ€™t hesitate to contact us.

How to serve configuration files

There are multiple ways to serve these configuration files. Our example project showcases two:

  1. Using the /static folder in order to serve a static file.

  2. Using a REST Controller in order to serve a static file.

ย 

Our example project serves the environment-information.json using the /static folder. Here is a link to the repository: taskana/rest/taskana-rest-spring-example-common/src/main/resources/static/environments/data-sources at master ยท Taskana/taskana

In our example the taskana-customization.json is served via a REST Controller. This allows further customization. E.g. Based on some environment properties you can serve a different taskana-customization.json. This can be done programmatically within the REST Controller.
