Via HTTP

You can call into a Reboot application directly using HTTP in circumstances where you aren't using React or can't use an ExternalContext because we don't generate code in the language you're using.

tip

If you're trying to call into a Reboot application using React, go here!

For example, to call the reader method called Messages on the Hello state type (declared in the hello.v1 package):

curl -XPOST http://localhost:9991/hello.v1.HelloMethods/Messages \
  -H "x-reboot-state-ref:hello.v1.Hello:reboot-hello"

...incorporates:

  • localhost:9991 - your Reboot application's URL
  • hello.v1.HelloMethods - service name
  • Messages - method name
  • hello.v1.Hello - state message name
  • reboot-hello - state ID

Note that HTTP calls always use POST.

Here is another example, calling a writer method named Send with a "request" as JSON:

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9991/hello.v1.HelloMethods/Send" \
  -H "x-reboot-state-ref:hello.v1.Hello:reboot-hello" \
  -d '{"message":"Hello, World!"}'
