Orbital

Your workspace

Pulling API specs from Disk

Orbital can read schema and taxonomy definitions direct from local disk

When you’re getting started, it’s useful to store your core taxonomy, existing API specs (such as OpenApi or Protobuf), or database definitions in a local disk repo, making it quick and easy to get going.

Adding a file repository using the UI

To add a new File repository via the UI either navigate to /project-import, or from within the UI click on Projects on the left navigation bar, then “Add project” in the top bar.

Completing the new File repository form

Click on the Local Disk Add+ button, and provide the details of where your local repository is.

If you haven’t created one yet, just provide an empty directory, and a repository will be created for you.

Adding a file repository through config

The schema repositories that Orbital is connected to can be configured through a HOCON file, which by default is called workspace.conf

file {    projects=[        {            // Optional (defaults to false). Indicates if the project can receive edits through the UI            isEditable=true            // Path to the folder containing a taxi.conf file.            path="/opt/var/orbital/schemas/taxi"        }    ]
    // Optional - WATCH or POLL    changeDetectionMethod=WATCH
    // Optional - Should the version of the project be incremented when the local disk changes?    // False is a safe setting here    incrementVersionOnChange=false
    // Optional.  If polling, define the frequency.    pollFrequency=PT5S
     // Optional.  Defines the frequency that updates trigger recompilation.     // Useful if you're locally editing a schema, and don't want to trigger     // lots of recompilation    recompilationFrequencyMillis=PT3S}
