Thanks for sharing your feedback!
This article explains how to integrate your Duro PLM to Tulip.
Purpose
The purpose of the Duro PLM Unit Test is to allow users to verify whether their connection between Tulip and the Duro PLM platform is correct and functioning as intended.
The API connector enables users to view Product definitions, Revisions, Bill of Materials (BOM) details, pictures, documents, and specifications in Tulip.
A Starter App was also defined to make use of the Connector Functions and Graph QL APIs.
Getting Started with Duro
Duro’s cloud-native PLM platform empowers hardware engineering teams to manage sourcing, BOMs, change orders, and revisions all in one place. The platform's intuitive interface and predefined agile workflows allow everyone involved in hardware development to make informed, timely decisions. Additionally, integrations with best-of-breed hardware partners, like Tulip, make it easy to centralize or share data in minutes without costly integrations.
Setup
Generate a Duro API key:
- Log into Duro PLM
- Generate a key by following Duro’s Starter Guide
- Save the new API Key
Configure Tulip Connector
In the Connectors page, find the Connector.
In the connector, click production & testing & development to view connection settings.
Set the connection setting as follows:
Running On: Cloud Connector Host
Host: mfg.duro.app
Port: 443
TLS: Yes
Click Edit Headers and set your "apiToken” header using the value retrieved from Duro’s settings.
Go back and click Test, then Save the details.
How it works
Once you have configured the Connector as shown in the Setup paragraph, you can test the Connector Functions in the app by clicking Test Graph QL API in the Unit Testing step.
The list of products defined in your Duro account will show up like the following:
In the App Editor, you can see how the Trigger for the button is configured to call the Connector function:
The result of the Connector Function call is stored in a Variable which is then displayed in a Tulip interactive table:
Connector Function
The Duro Connector makes use of Graph QL queries, it comes with predefined functions and can be extended to support any API offered by Duro (see Graph QL documentation here).
GraphQL to JSON
Tulip does not support Graph QL and requires to transform Grahp QL into JSON queries, use the following website to transform the queries: GraphQL to JSON body converter
Current Connector comes with the following API Calls:
| Function Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Get All Components | Retreive a list of all Components |
