Content Services API

The content module provides API bindings to be used with Alfresco Content Services

The module includes bindings for both search and core to make it easier to integrate in most applications.

Our bindings provide an API layer based on Retrofit and Coroutines

Since we previously mentioned the AuthInterceptor being an OkHttp interceptor and Retrofit is based on OkHttp, we'll show you how to easily integrate the two to get you started with authenticated requests to Alfresco.

3 steps are required to get Retrofit configured:

• create a AuthInterceptor
• create a OkHttp client and attach the AuthInterceptor to it
• create a Retrofit instance with the OkHttp client

val authInterceptor = AuthInterceptor(
    context,
    username,
    authType,
    authState,
    authConfig
)

val okHttpClient: OkHttpClient = OkHttpClient()
    .newBuilder()
    .addInterceptor(authInterceptor)
    .build()

val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
    .client(okHttpClient)
    .addConverterFactory(GeneratedCodeConverters.converterFactory())
    .baseUrl(baseUrl)
    .build()

Now just get a service and a coroutine context and make your request:

val service = retrofit.create(SearchApi::class.java)
val search = SearchRequest("my query", ...)

lifecycleScope.launch {
    try {
        val results = service.search(search)
    } catch (ex: Exception) {
       // some error
    }
}
