@staticbackend/js

StaticBackend's JavaScript client library.

Installation

$> npm install @staticbackend/js

Usage

import { Backend } from "@staticbackend/js";

const bkn = new Backend("your-public-token", "na1");

Parameters:

• Your public key
• The region (we only supports na1 or dev for now)

If using the development server:

You may initiate the client like this for development:

const bkn = new Backend("anything", "dev");

When using the development server you don't need a valid public key.

Available helpers

register(email: string, password: string)

All you users will need a session token to perform CRUD operations against your database. Note that it's possible to have public repository.

const registerButton = document.getElementById("registerButton");
registerButton.addEventListener("click", async (e) => {
	const result = await bkn.register("[email protected]", "their-password");
	if (!result.ok) {
		// could not register that user
		console.error(result.content);
		return
	}

	// you must use this token on all sub-sequent requests:
	const token = result.content;

	// Ideally you'd store that somewhere for that user to retrieve like 
	// SessionStorage for instance.
});

login(email: string, password: string)

The login function is identical to the register. You'll receive a session token on successful login.

const result = await bkn.login(email, pass);
// handle result.ok == false or result.content contains their token.

Database

create(token: string, repo: string, doc)

createProjectButton.addEventListener("click", async (e) => {
	// thos values would come from <input> or something from your app
	const project = {
		name: "New project name",
		active: false,
		created: new Date()
	};

	const result = await bkn.create(token, "projects", project);
	// handle !result.ok or created document in result.content
});

list(token: string, repo: string)

const result = await bkn.list(token, "projects");
// handle !result.ok or result.content is an object
/*
{

	"results": [{
		id: "an id",

	}]
}
