Install 🛠

npm install bigparser

Usage 🔭

Set the BP_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable to your BigParser Auth Id.

This can be done in the terminal

export BP_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN

OR using a .env file

BP_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN

OR using process.env

process.env.BP_AUTH_TOKEN = 'YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN'

Optionally you can also set the BP_QA environment variable to true to use qa.bigparser.com instead of www.bigparser.com

Below is an example of calling one of the APIs methods with a Grid Data Model

import { search } from 'bigparser'

declare type GridDataModel {
  Country: string;
  Airport: string;
  Airlines: string;
  NumPlanes: number;
  HasLounge: boolean;
}

const { data: searchData, error: searchError } = await search<GridDataModel>({
  query: {
    globalFilter: {
      filters: [
        {
          operator: 'LIKE',  // default like (optional)
          keyword: 'United',
        },
        {
          operator: 'NLIKE',
          keyword: 'Airlines',
        },
      ],
      filtersJoinOperator: 'OR' // default OR (optional)
    },
    columnFilter: {
      filters: [
        {
          column: 'Country',
          operator: 'LIKE',  // default like (optional)
          keyword: 'South'
        },
        {
          column: 'Country',
          operator: 'NLIKE',   // default like (optional)
          keyword: 'America'

        }
      ],
      filtersJoinOperator: 'AND'  // default AND (optional)
    },
    globalColumnFilterJoinOperator: 'OR', // default OR  (optional)
    sendRowIdsInResponse: true,
    showColumnNamesInResponse: true,
    pagination: {
      startRow: 1,
      rowCount: 50
    },
    sort: {
      NumPlanes: 'desc'
    },
    selectColumnNames: [
      'Airport',
    ],
  }
}, 'YOUR_GRID_ID')

if (searchError || !searchData) {
  console.log('Network Error')
}

console.log(searchData)
/*
  {
    totalRowCount: 76,
    rows: [
      {
        "Airport": "JNB"
      },
      {
        "Airport": "CPT"
      }
      ...
    ]
  }
*/
