Brigade SDK for JavaScript

build slack

This is a Brigade 2-compatible SDK for JavaScript and TypeScript.

Supported Runtimes

Great care has been taken to ensure this SDK works within recent versions of Node as well as modern browsers (latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.) if properly transpiled with webpack or similar.

Installation

Install into your project using your favorite package manager.

For instance:

$ npm install --save @brigadecore/brigade-sdk

Or:

$ yarn add @brigadecore/brigade-sdk

Basic Use

Note: All examples that follow use TypeScript.

A Brigade API client can be obtained as follows:

import { APIClient } from "@brigadecore/brigade-sdk"

// ...

const client = new APIClient(apiAddress, apiToken, opts)

In the example above, it is assumed:

  • apiAddress points to a Brigade 2 API server. The address must include the protocol (i.e. must be prefixed with http:// or https://).
  • apiToken is:
    • A valid API token. It is probably best to use a non-expiring service account token. Refer to Brigade's own documentation on how to obtain such a token.
    • The empty string is acceptable, but only API operations not requiring authorization will then be supported by the client.
  • opts, as one might infer, is an optional parameter. If included, it must be an object, which may have a single field allowInsecureConnections containing the value true or false to indicate whether SSL errors should be tolerated by the client. If not specified, SSL errors will not be tolerated. This option is only applicable when the value of the apiAddress argument uses https:// as the scheme.

The client returned from the call to the new APIClient(...) constructor is the root in a tree of more specialized clients.

To obtain a client for working with the "core" components of Brigade (Projects, Events, etc.):

const coreClient = client.core()

The coreClient permits navigation to even more specialized clients, for example:

const projectsClient = coreClient.projects()

If your program needs to interact with only a specific subset of the Brigade API, it is possible and encouraged to directly instantiate just the specific subset of the client tree that is needed.

For instance, this example shows instantiation of only the Events client-- something that might be practical for a program such as a Brigade gateway, whose only interaction with Brigade involves the creation of new Events:

import { core } from "@brigadecore/brigade-sdk"

// ...

const eventsClient = new core.EventsClient(apiAddress, apiToken, opts)

The arguments passed above are the same as in our initial example.

Further Examples

Working Node and browser-based examples are available in the examples directory.
