Enterprise Integration with Azure Logic Apps

By: Matthew Bennett

Overview of this book

Logic Apps are a visual flowchart-like representation of common programming actions, and are a flexible way to create logic without writing a single line of code. Enterprise Integration with Azure Logic Apps is a comprehensive introduction for anyone new to Logic Apps which will boost your learning skills and allow you to create rich, complex, structured, and reusable logic with instant results. You'll begin by discovering how to navigate the Azure portal and understand how your objects can be zoned to a specific environment by using resource groups. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will teach you the benefits and foundations of Logic App logic design. As you advance, you'll find out how to manage your Azure environment in relation to Logic Apps and how to create elegant and reliable Logic Apps. With useful and practical explanations of how to get the most out of Logic App actions and triggers, you'll be able to ensure that your Logic Apps work efficiently and provide seamless integration for real-world scenarios without having to write code. By the end of this Logic Apps book, you'll be able to create complex and powerful Logic Apps within minutes, integrating large amounts of data on demand, enhancing your systems, and linking applications to improve user experience.

Creating a series of scope sections

As work on your logic app grows ever more complex, it's good practice to break your code into logical sections. This is determined by the object being tested, or the data being manipulated now. For example, you might want to look up a contact and then from this information obtain a list of the contact details for that person. From this, you may want to produce an array of the person's contact details. In this scenario, there are three clear sections to the logic app:

  • Obtaining the correct person
  • Obtaining this person's contact details
  • Generating an array of contact details

Each of these sections can be made by using the scope object. Scoping has several uses, as we will discover in this chapter, but the most basic and obvious function is to break apart the logic app into high-level sections to make it easier for other developers to read and to understand what is happening.

This is the current high-level design...
