Challonge Typescript API Interface

An overdone Challonge API interface and adapter, written with Typescript but should work in ES6+ too.

Using the adapter

The adapter is a direct stateless interface with Challonge, with no frills, you're calling the Challonge API directly.

Example - Retrieving a list of tournaments with the TournamentAdapter

The following returns the direct raw response from the Challonge API

import { TournamentAdapter } from 'challonge-ts';

const test = async () => {
  const data = await TournamentAdapter.index('api_key');

  console.log(data);
}

test(); // Direct response from the API, array of tournament JSON objects

Due to the direct nature of these adapters, I recommend looking at both the Challonge API documentation for the routes, and the ChallongeTS documentation

Using the class

Devised as a nicer abstraction over the adapter, this is a set of classes which wrap the adapter in a more OO type way, if that's your thing.

Example - Retrieving a list of tournaments with the Challonge class

import { Challonge } from 'challonge-ts';

const test = async () => {
  const challonge = new Challonge('api_key')
  const tournaments = await challonge.getTournaments();

  console.log(tournaments); // Array of Tournament objects
}

test();

Running the tests

The tests for this are written using Jest, and uses Nock Record to stub the API requests to Challonge. To run them do the following:

1. Create an api_key.txt file in the tests folder, containing an api key which matches the nock files if running offline, or your live api key if regenerating the nock files. In the case of the master branch, the file should just contain test_api_key
2. Run npm test in the console.

To regenerate the API nock files, delete the tests/adapter/__nock-fixtures__ folder and re-run the tests. With a valid API key, the files should be regenerated. Once the tests pass and the files have been generated, remember to do a find and replace for your API key to test_api_key to ensure you don't push your public Challonge API key to a public repo!

Building

Ensure you have gulp-cli installed locally, then run npm run build. Hopefully it goes all right with no errors! :)

Merging with master

After you have run the tests, and built the project, your repo should be good to go for merging with master!
