SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides guidance for exposing gateway endpoints, RPC contracts, DTOs, and permission checks in Ignition SDK modules, ensuring consistent backend communication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clear guidance on designing gateway API surfaces for Ignition modules.
  • Includes DTO/serialization contracts, error payload shapes, and permission checks.
  • Use Case: when integrating a frontend page with a gateway or when replacing REST-like endpoints with RPC.

Quick Start

Define a gateway endpoint contract and a thin routing layer to demonstrate an RPC or REST-like surface for a frontend page.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define gateway endpoints and RPC contracts in Ignition SDK modules?

To define gateway endpoints and RPC contracts in Ignition, you codify explicit API surfaces, typed DTOs, and a thin routing layer to standardize backend service communication and ensure predictable error handling.

What is the best way to structure DTOs and permission checks for an Ignition frontend gateway?

Structuring DTOs and permission checks for an Ignition frontend gateway requires defining serialization contracts and validation rules explicitly on the surface, keeping all underlying business logic isolated within backend services.

When do I need explicit RPC contracts and typed DTOs for cross-module communication?

You need explicit RPC contracts and typed DTOs for cross-module communication when replacing REST-like endpoints or integrating frontend pages, ensuring predictable error payloads and standardized module interfaces.

Can I use this approach to replace REST-like endpoints with RPC for Ignition backend integration?

Yes, you can replace REST-like endpoints with RPC for Ignition backend integration by applying a thin routing layer and explicit surface design to standardize cross-module communication and error payload shapes.

Does designing Ignition gateway API surfaces require keeping business logic in services?

Designing Ignition gateway API surfaces requires keeping business logic in services to satisfy requirements for explicit surface design, typed DTOs, validation, and permission checks while maintaining predictable error handling.
