See Using CORS Library Functions.
The PDK integration testing framework is improved for easier test configuration.

See Writing Integration Tests.
Incorrect conditional parameter schema configurations are now rejected when the policy is compiled instead of when the policy is deployed.
Conditional parameters can now depend on boolean and integer parameters.

See Define Conditional Parameters.

MuleSoft announces the release of Anypoint Flex Gateway Policy Development Kit (PDK) 1.0.0.

PDK is a software development kit that enables you to develop Flex Gateway custom policies with ease.

PDK provides instructions to guide you through the policy development lifecycle, from implementing your Rust source code to releasing your policy on Exchange. Like included policies, you can apply custom policies to Flex Gateway running in Connected Mode by using API Manager or to Flex Gateway running in Local Mode by using YAML configuration files.

PDK also provides example policies to help you get started with policy development.

To begin using PDK, see Flex Gateway Policy Development Kit (PDK) Overview.

Compatibility

Policies created with PDK might be compatible with Flex Gateway versions that aren’t compatible with PDK’s integration testing framework. The Flex Gateway version used for testing doesn’t affect the functionality of the policy when deployed to a different Flex Gateway version.
