# Methode Article Internal Components Mapper
Methode Article Internal Components Mapper is a Dropwizard application which consumes Kafka events and maps raw Methode articles to internal content components.
The transformed content components are put back to Kafka.
## Introduction
This application depends on the following micro-services:
* kafka-proxy
* methode-article-mapper
* document-store-api
* public-concordances-api
Note: methode-article-mapper and public-concordances-api are used to validate the article if it's valid, and linked content in the body.
Document-store-api is used for both article validation and to resolve Content Placeholder UUIDs, that are pointing to and FT blog, to the original Wordpress UUID.
## Running
`java -jar target/methode-article-internal-components-mapper-1.0.0.jar server methode-article-internal-components-mapper.yaml`
## Endpoints
The transformation which takes place at each valid Kafka message can also be triggered by the `/map` endpoint.
### API
The internal components model is documented by the description of this non-public `/map` API.
### Posting content to be mapped
Transformation can be triggered through a POST message containing a Methode article to http://localhost:11070/map
In case the required transformation is triggered to provide an article preview, you need to set a `preview` query parameter in the URL with `true` as value:
e.g., http://localhost:11070/map?preview=true
### Healthcheck and good-to-go
A GET request to http://localhost:11071/healthcheck or http://localhost:11070/__health
A GET request to http://localhost:11071/__gtg
Health and gtg are based on methode-article-mapper's health endpoint, and kafka topics' availabilities for reading and writing.
## Internals
For article validation the service leverages on methode article mapper's `/map` endpoint.
## Example of transformation output
You can find an example of a transformed article below.
