BikeTag Official JavaScript library

How to include it in your projects

The library is a default export, as well as a named class export BikeTagClient. You can retrieve it from jsDeliver or npm, and it works in both the browser and nodejs.

Browser

Using jsDelivr CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/biketag/client.js"></script>

Using unpkg CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/npm/client.js"></script>

CommonJS

import/require the module:

// Using import statement
import { BikeTagClient } from 'biketag'

// Using require()
const { BikeTagClient } = require('biketag')

---

Usage

Instantiate with or without credentials (browser):

// if you have your clientKey/clientToken to retrieve an access token automatically, you can pass those in:
const client = new biketag({
  game: 'portland',
  clientKey: process.env.BIKETAG_CLIENT_KEY,
  clientToken: process.env.BIKETAG_CLIENT_TOKEN,
})

Instantiate with or without credentials (node):

// if you have Imgur credentials: clientId and clientSecret
const client = new BikeTagClient({
  game: 'portland',
  imgur: {
    clientId: process.env.IMGUR_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: process.env.IMGUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
  }
})

⚠️ For brevity, the rest of the examples will leave out the import and/or instantiation step.

Get Game Information

You can get game information by providing the name.

// retrieves the BikeTag game data 'portland' game
const biketagPortland = await client.game('portland')

Get Tags

You can get tags one by one or all at once for a given game using the getTag and getTags methods. You can also explicitely set the data adapter to any of the configurable sources (biketag, imgur, sanity, reddit, twitter):

// retrieves the BikeTag game data 'portland' game
const biketagPortland = await client.game('portland')

// retrieves the latest BikeTag posted for the 'portland' game from the most available API
const biketagPortlandCurrent = await client.getTag()

// retrieves the BikeTag #1 for the 'portland' game from imgur adapter
const biketagPortland1 = await client.tags(1, { source: 'imgur' })

// retrieves the all BikeTags for the 'portland' game from sanity adapter
const allPortlandTags = await client.tags(undefined, { source: 'sanity' })

// retrieves the BikeTags for the first five tags for the 'portland' game from the reddit adapter
const firstFivePortlandTags = await client.tags([1,2,3,4,5], { source: 'reddit' })

Get Players

You can get the players of a game by calling getPlayers

// retrieves the BikeTag player data 'portland' game
const biketagPortlandPlayers = await biketagAPI.getPlayers('portland')

This project is heavily influenced by the node-imgur package, the Imgur API and it's documentation, and Sanity.IO's javascript client.

Using the typescript library configured and developed on the node-imgur v2 project: https://github.com/kaimallea/node-imgur, this package comes bundled with testing using jest and automated releases using github actions. Many thanks to Kaimallea for collaborating with me on the imgur API because I learned so much along the way!
