Martian

Core JavaScript API for MindTouch

Support

This Library is provided for and supported by the open source community. Supported MindTouch site owners may file bug reports via GitHub, but support plans do not cover the usage of this library.

Usage

Martian provides a collection of JavaScript modules that can query a MindTouch site API. These modules can get or create business entities (user, page, file, etc). Martian can be installed in a Node.js environment, by using yarn.

yarn add mindtouch-martian

Martian modules can be loaded natively in a Node.js application, any ES2015 module-aware transpiling or bundling tools, or natively in web browsers that support ES2015 modules. Configuration is needed to resolve module specifiers. As of 2017, browsers only support specifiers that are valid URLs. You can use a tool like rollup-plugin-alias-module-specifiers to resolve the dependencies.

import { UserManager } from '/mindtouch-martian/user.js';
import { Settings } from '/mindtouch-martian/lib/settings.js';
const settings = new Settings({

    // mindtouch site base URL
    host: 'https://success.mindtouch.com',

    // browser API token (https://success.mindtouch.com/Support/Extend/API_Documentation/About_the_MindTouch_API/Generate_a_browser_API_token)
    token: '12345'
});
const userManager = new UserManager(settings);
userManager.getCurrentUser().then((user) => {
    // do something with user.username, user.fullname, user.email, etc..
});
