openwhisk

The typescript runtime was recently added to openwhisk but we do not yet have docs for the runtime and it is missing from runtimes.json.

We need a doc like https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/docs/actions-nodejs.md for typescript functions.

Adding the runtime to the runtime manifest can be done per https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/docs/actions-new.md#the-

Currently building all the cli takes a good amount of time because there are many libraries in components.

We should speed up build using smart building and build tags so task build-fast will build the core binary without the embedded binaries like task, kops, wsk and kind.

Just spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to determine why the wsk CLI was working on one machine and not on another. The ultimate issue was that I ended up specifying the APIHOST variable as https://localhost:8443/ in the config file, with the trailing slash, which causes 404s since the CLI was sending requests to https://localhost:8443//api/v1/namespaces/_/triggers?limit=0&skip=0 (n

I updated all the dependencies to their latest versions, but go-18n has a new v2 interface which can be explored for adoption and hopefully in the process improve the methods by which we generate the i18n_resources.go file and language resources.

Add logic to detect when an API might be calling itself (directly or via another API) in a loop, and terminate the loop.

This can be done through injection of unique headers for every hop through the gateway.

For example:

Client request -> GW: GET /api1
GW inject header: X-ApiGw-Loop: get_api1
GW request -> GW: GET /api2
GW inject header: X-ApiGw-Loop: get_api1 get_api2
GW req

currently you have to run composer twice, once to generate the function code and again to generate the ast (needed for k/o-ui visualization).

it would be convenient to run compose once and specify two different files for output.

If the npm package that is defined by https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-runtime-nodejs/blob/master/core/nodejs8Action/package.json was published to npm then projects would be able to depend on it and get the current set of js dependencies present in OW. Those projects building with webpack would also be able to exclude those packages from their builds, making their images smaller.
