Get the Action Value of APIKit Router Mapping in Mule 4

July 14, 2022

Say this is my router config

<apikit:config name="apiConfig" raml="api.raml" doc:name="Router" >
   <apikit:flow-mapping resource="/resourceOne" action="get" flow-ref="flow-1"/>
   <apikit:flow-mapping resource="/resourceTwo" action="post" flow-ref="flow-1"/>
</apikit:config>

As you can see the calls to these two resources are being redirected to the same flow, but based on the method action.

How do I read this action value (Get or Post) in the called flow flow-1?

>Solution :

I believe you should be having separate flows, but if you need to it this way, you can use #[attributes.method] to get the method of the HTTP Request. The APIKIT router will forward the same event that the HTTP Listener will receive, so it will contain HTTPRequestAttributes. For more info you can refer this section HTTP Request Example
