FortyTwo API Client

[!NOTE] Development started on October 20, 2024, and it is currently in progress.

A simplified client for interacting with the 42 API. This project aims to provide an easy-to-use interface to manage OAuth2 tokens and make authenticated API requests.

Features

• Automatically retrieves and manages OAuth2 tokens.
• Simplified API requests for GET and POST methods.
• Customizable logging for API requests.
• TypeScript support with typed responses.

Installation

To install the package, run:

npm install 42-fast-api

or

yarn add 42-fast-api

or

pnpm add 42-fast-api

pnpm is recommended for faster installation and better dependency management.

Usage

Start by creating a .env file with your UID and SECRET from the 42 API:

UID=your_client_id
SECRET=your_client_secret

Example of how to use the client:

import { FortyTwoAPI } from "./src/api";

if (!process.env.UID || !process.env.SECRET) {
  throw new Error("Please provide UID and SECRET in .env file");
}

const api = new FortyTwoAPI({
  uid: process.env.UID,
  secret: process.env.SECRET,
  logRequests: true,
  baseUrl: "https://api.intra.42.fr",
});

(async () => {
  try {
    await api.init();
    const userId = await api.users.getUserIdByLogin("example_login");
    console.log(userId);

    const userData = await api.users.getUserData(userId);
    console.table(userData.projects_users);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
})();

API
