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.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at specific ways you can access and store data within a logic app. We looked at the concept of a variable, which is commonly used to store a specific data type (a unit of data). This could be static in nature, meaning that the number is fixed through the life of the logic app run, or may be updated at different stages within the logic app run.

We also looked at an array – a set of values of the same data type – and mentioned an object, which can store multiple fields, all of which may be different data types.

We saw the DIP process in action and two different ways to set data within a logic app run. We were able to initialize a variable, then later set a variable at the point that it was needed. We also learned how to read JSON and understood that JSON is the underlying language used not only to read data by logic apps but also that a logic app itself is created and coded using JSON. We looked at the process of breaking down an...
