Chirpier SDK

The Chirpier SDK for JavaScript is a simple, lightweight, and efficient SDK to emit event data to Chirpier direct from your JavaScript applications.

Features

• Easy-to-use API for sending events to Chirpier
• Automatic batching of events for improved performance
• Automatic retry mechanism with exponential backoff
• Thread-safe operations
• Periodic flushing of the event queue
• Environment Agnostic: Works seamlessly in both browser and Node.js environments.

Installation

Install Chirpier SDK using npm:

npm install @chirpier/chirpier-js

Getting Started

Initializing the SDK

To start using the SDK, you need to initialize it with your API key. The SDK works in both browser and Node.js environments.

Here's a quick example of how to use the Chirpier SDK:

In a Browser

import { initialize, monitor, Event } from '@chirpier/chirpier-js';

// Initialize the SDK with your API key
initialize({ key: 'your-api-key' });

// Send a data stream tied to a group of streams
monitor({
  group_id: '02e4f4d8-415e-4fc1-b01a-677ac5bc9207',
  stream_name: 'My measurement',
  value: 15.30,
} as Event);

In a Server (e.g., Express.js)

const express = require('express');
const { initialize, monitor, Event } = require('@chirpier/chirpier-js');

const app = express();
const port = 3000;

// Initialize the SDK with your API key
initialize({ key: 'your-api-key', region: 'us-west' });

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/monitor', (req, res) => {
  const { group_id, stream_name, value } = req.body;

  if (!group_id || !stream_name || !value) {
    return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Missing required fields' });
  }

  // Monitor an event
  monitor({ group_id, stream_name, value } as Event);

  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Event tracked successfully' });
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});

Usage

// Initialize the SDK with your API key
initialize({ key: 'your-api-key', region: 'us-west' });

// Monitor an event
monitor({
  group_id: '02e4f4d8-415e-4fc1-b01a-677ac5bc9207',
  stream_name: 'My measurement',
  value: 15.3,
});

API Reference

Initialize

Initialize the Chirpier client with your API key and region. Find your API key in the Chirpier Integration page.

initialize({ key: 'your-api-key', region: 'region' });

• your-api-key (str): Your Chirpier integration key
• region (str): Your local region - options are us-west, eu-west, asia-southeast

Event

All events emitted to Chirpier must have the following properties:

event = {
  group_id: '02e4f4d8-415e-4fc1-b01a-677ac5bc9207',
  stream_name: 'My measurement',
  value: 15.3,
};

• group_id (str): UUID of the monitoring group
• stream_name (str): Name of the measurement stream
• value (float): Numeric value to record

Monitor

Send an event to Chirpier using the monitor function.

monitor(event);

Test

Run the test suite to ensure everything works as expected:

npx jest
