@brezel-js/api-client

This is a simple JavaScript SDK for interacting with the Brezel API.

Getting Started

To use it, you need to initialize it with your API key or user access token, your Brezel system, and API endpoint URI as shown below.

import Brezel from '@brezel-js/api-client';

const client = new Brezel({
    uri: 'https://api.example.com',
    system: 'test',
    key: 'testKey', // either via API key
    token: 'testToken', // ... or via an OAuth access token
});

Usage

Modules

Fetching all modules

client.fetchModules().then(modules => console.log(modules));

Fetching a specific module

client.fetchModule('moduleIdentifier').then(result => console.log(result));

Entities

Fetch entities of a specific module

client.fetchEntities('moduleIdentifier').then(result => console.log(result));

Fetch a specific entity by its ID

client.fetchEntity(7, 'moduleIdentifier').then(result => console.log(result));

Create a new entity

const entity = {
    module: {
        identifier: 'module1'
    },
    // Fields
    name: 'My Entity',
    // ...
};
client.createEntity(entity).then(result => console.log(result));

Update an entity

const entity = {
    id: 9,
    module: {
        identifier: 'module1'
    },
    // Fields
    name: 'My Entity',
    // ...
};
client.updateEntity(entity).then(result => console.log(result));

Save an entity

This method updates an existing entity, or creates a new entity if the ID is undefined.

const entity = {
    id: 9, // optional
    module: {
        identifier: 'module1'
    },
    // Fields
    name: 'My Entity',
    // ...
};
client.saveEntity(entity).then(result => console.log(result));

Filters

Data can be filtered when fetching entities by using a syntax like this:

client.fetchEntities('songs', {
    page: 1, // optional
    filters: [{
        column: 'album.title',
        operator: '=',
        value: 'Emotion'
    }]
}).then(result => console.log(result));

This will fetch only the entities having the relation album with the title 'Emotion'.

Fetch contents of a file

You can also fetch the contents of specific file entity by its entity ID. Given a file with an ID of "123", here's how you can retrieve the file:

client.fetchFile(123)
    .then(blob => {
        // Do something with the blob, e.g. generate a download URL
        const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        console.log(url);
    });

The fetchFile() method retrieves a Blob object that represents the file's data. You can use this Blob object to create a local URL, which you can then use to embed the file in a webpage or download it to the user's computer.

Unit Tests

To run the unit tests:

npm run test
