This repository is a "homework assignment" for a Java client for the CloudConvert web application. By using CloudConvert's API, this application takes a file as input, sends it for conversion, and downloads the converted file.
It requires the system property CLOUDCONVERT_ACCESS_TOKEN to be set with a valid API key.
mvn compile exec:java -DCLOUDCONVERT_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your-key> -DCLOUDCONVERT_INPUT_FILE=<input-file-path> -DCLOUDCONVERT_OUTPUT_FILE=<output-file-path>
The CLOUDCONVERT_INPUT_FILE and CLOUDCONVERT_OUTPUT_FILE system properties are optional. If not specified, the values /tmp/test-file.docx and /tmp/test-file.pdf, respectively, are used.
- This PoC uses Awaitility as a way of monitoring the state of the conversion job in CloudConvert, which works asynchronously.
- Inputs can be retrieved from system properties, which makes the project suitable for running in Docker.
