@chalk-ai/client

@chalk-ai/client

TypeScript client for Chalk.

Installation

$ yarn add @chalk-ai/client

Generate Types

Starting in your Chalk project directory, run:

$ chalk codegen typescript --out=generated_types.ts

Usage

Modern JavaScript ES6

import { ChalkClient } from "@chalk-ai/client";

// Import your generated types (recommended)
import { FeaturesType } from "local/generated_types";

// Alternatively, define features you want to pull using the client
// as an interface with the feature type and feature name.
interface FeaturesType {
  "user.id": string;
  "user.socure_score": number;
}

const client = new ChalkClient<FeaturesType>();

const result = await client.query({
  inputs: {
    "user.id": "1",
  },
  outputs: ["user.socure_score"],
});

// The property `.data` has auto-complete based on the
// list provided in `output` above. So if you try to pull
// a feature that wasn't requested, you will see an error
// in type checking.
console.log(result.data["user.socure_score"].value);

CommonJS

var ChalkClient = require("@chalk-ai/client").ChalkClient;

interface FeaturesType {
  "user.id": string;
  "user.socure_score": number;
}

var client = new ChalkClient<FeaturesType>();

client
  .query({
    inputs: {
      "user.id": "1",
    },
    outputs: ["user.socure_score"],
  })
  .then((result) => {
    console.log(result.data["user.socure_score"].value);
  });

Supported environment variables

Variable	Kind	Description
process.env._CHALK_CLIENT_ID	Required	Your Chalk client ID. You must specify this environment variable or pass an explicit clientId value when constructing your ChalkClient
process.env._CHALK_CLIENT_SECRET	Required	Your Chalk client secret. You must specify this environment variable or pass an explicit clientSecret value when constructing your ChalkClient
process.env._CHALK_ACTIVE_ENVIRONMENT	Optional	The environment that your client should connect to. If not specified, the client will query your project's default environment
process.env._CHALK_API_SERVER	Optional	The API server that the client will communicate with. This defaults to https://api.chalk.ai which should be sufficient for most consumers
