Description 

The current fabric (packages/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-fabric) and vault(packages/cactus-plugin-keychain-vault) connectors are not cli-friendly. By cli-friendly, I refer to their use via api-server connector (packages/cactus-cmd-api-server).
To import and initialise fabric/vault connector over api-server, one can include them as

...

In case of vault connector: The token  passed via IPluginKeychainVaultOptions  should have an option so that the plugin can pickup the token during initialisation from environment variable.

Additional Information

For additional information, one can check out the current usage of plugins within the api-server docs

Learning Objectives

Through this, the mentee can learn production grade best practices along with the usage and creation of Hyperledger Cacti plugins and their interaction with the api-server

Expected Outcome

The following outcomes are expected from this:

• Modification of fabric-connector by introducing optional fields to the constructor, to facilitate the above mentioned goals in a way, it has minimal to no impact on the example usecases/testcases
• Modification of the vault-connector by introducing optional fields to the constructor, to facilitate the above mentioned goals in a way, it has minimal to no impact on the example usecases/testcases

Relation to Hyperledger 

Hyperledger Cacti

Mentee Skills

• Expertise in JS/TS coding
• Prior knowledge/hands-on experience related to Cacti and its connectors

Future plans

This project will enable us to rework on the Fabric connector which provides the same current functionality with minimum user inputs, taking into consideration the production grade angle of the ledger environments.
