@barchart/events-api-common
A public library of shared JavaScript code used by the Barchart Event Tracking System and client SDK.
Overview
Simply put, this project contains code that runs on both the servers (i.e. Serverless applications) and clients (e.g. browser, mobile, etc).
Data is passed between client and server in JSON format. However, the code works with more complex types. For example, Decimal
instances are used in place of native JavaScript floats and Day
instances are used instead of native JavaScript Dates.
So, before data is exchanged, it must be converted to pure JSON. Conversely, when data is received, as pure JSON, its translated into more complex types before use. This is facilitated by the Schema
definitions which build custom "reviver" functions for JSON parsing.
