Devopness SDK - JavaScript

The official Devopness SDK for JavaScript, available for browsers, mobile devices and Node.js backends.

Devopness SDK includes a pre-defined set of classes that provide convenient access to Devopness platform data. This SDK aims to make it easy and fun to consume Devopness API resources from web, Node.js or mobile apps written in the JavaScript programming language.

About Devopness

Devopness aims to drastically change the way software developers deploy applications and manage on-premise and cloud servers in a secure and performant fashion.

By streamlining essential DevOps practices we're making first class software deployment and server management tools accessible and affordable to every developer in the world.

Usage

Install/Upgrade

Use your favourite package manager to install Devopness SDK as a dependency of your project:

# Using npm
npm install @devopness/sdk-js

# Using yarn
yarn add @devopness/sdk-js

Initializing

To initialize the usage of Devopness SDK just import it and create a new instance of DevopnessApiClient class.

Here is a generic simple example that can be used from Node.js, TypeScript or Javascript applications:

import { DevopnessApiClient } from '@devopness/sdk-js'
const devopnessApi = new DevopnessApiClient();

The instance of DevopnessApiClient has properties to all services provided by the API. The name of the methods at services is the same as operation name in the documentation of the Devopness API. You can consult the URL of a endpoint to see the operation name. For instance the URL to endpoint POST /users/login in the documentation is: /#operation/login

Authenticating

To authenticate, just invoke the login method on the users service:

async function authenticate(email, pass) {
  const userTokens = await devopnessApi.users.login({ email: email, password: pass });
  // The `accessToken` must be set every time a token is obtained or refreshed.
  devopnessApi.accessToken = userTokens.data.access_token;
}

// invoke the authentication method
authenticate('user@email.com', 'secret-password');

In the example above, userTokens is a instance of ApiResponse and the data property has the data requested from the API. See ApiResponse.ts for reference.

Invoking authentication protected endpoints

Once an authentication token is set, any protected endpoint can be invoked. Example retrieving current user details:

async function getUserProfile() {
    // invoke the authentication method to ensure an auth token
    // is retrieved and set to the SDK instance
    await authenticate('user@email.com', 'secret-password');

    // Now that we're authenticated, we can invoke methods on any services.
    // Here we're invoking the `getCurrentUser()` method on the `users` service
    const currentUser = await devopnessApi.users.getCurrentUser();
    console.log('Successfully retrieved user profile: ', currentUser);
}

getUserProfile();

TypeScript support

This package includes TypeScript declarations for every method. TypeScript versions >= 3.8 are supported.

Some methods in Devopness SDK JavaScript accept and return objects from the Devopness API. The type declarations for these objects will always track the latest version of the API. Therefore, if you'e using the latest version of this package you can rely on the Devopness API documentation for checking the input and return types of each API endpoint.

Usage no npm install needed!
