Components

This shows three connected components represented in the flow chart of the dashboard:

You can see these components in the list view on the side of the dashboard:

Components should be designed to handle a single task. For example, when building an interface between two systems that requires some message processing, this integration should be made up of at least 3 components:

1. Source - receive the message from system A.

2. Filter - apply any filtering or processing on the message.

3. Destination - send the processed message to system B.

By separating the tasks between 3 components, we are leveraging Separation of Concerns which will help:

• Embrace reusability of components. The more simple the task, the more likely you are able to reuse that component for a future interface.

• The team understand and manage the components

• Quickly locate and troubleshoot errors that may come up

Double click on a component’s name in the list or graphical view to open up their card. See Component Cards

Git is an integral part of how IguanaX works and how we manage interfaces.

Components can be configured to be stored in Git one of two ways:

1. As a self contained git repository storing the entire project and enabling you to push/pull commits to the component repository.

2. As a plain folder storing the component project as part of the Git Instance repository.

For more details on these concepts, please see How Components are Stored in Git.
