Maester Client

The official Elastic.io object-storage client.

Usage

Note: All the code snippets written in Typescript

Create client

import { ObjectStorageWrapper } from '@elastic.io/maester-client/dist/ObjectStorageWrapper';

const objectStorage = new ObjectStorageWrapper(this);

CRUD operations

Create object

The method has the following signature:

async createObject(data: object, headers?: Header[], ttl?: number)

where

• data - object data to create. Required
• headers - array of objects { key: string, value: string }, current maximum - 5 items. Where key - searchable field name (see below in Get objects by query parameters section), must be unique for whole array, if specified - value must be specified as well; value - searchable field value, if specified - key must be specified as well. Optional
• ttl - configurable object's time to live, milliseconds. Optional

const obj = await objectStorage.createObject(data);
const obj = await objectStorage.createObject(data, [], 100000);
const obj = await objectStorage.createObject(data, [{key: 'somequeriablefieldkey', value: 'somequeriablefieldvalue'}], 60000);
const obj = await objectStorage.createObject(data, [{key: 'anotherqueriablefieldkey', value: 'anotherqueriablefieldvalue'}], 60000);

Read operations

Get object by ID:

The method has the following signature:

async lookupObjectById(id: string)

where

• id - Maester internal id of the object to update. E.g. '76380cae-aee3-457a-9029-d971f61e3731'. Required

const obj = await objectStorage.lookupObjectById(id);

As Maester is able to store any data type, the method returns a raw string. You may want to parse JSON or do any other data processing according to object's expected data type:

const parsedObject = JSON.parse(obj);

The following errors can be thrown:

• Object Not Found
• Invalid object id

Get objects by query parameters:

The method has the following signature:

async lookupObjectByQueryParameters(headers: Header[])

where

• headers - array of objects { key: string, value: string }, current maximum - 5 items. Where key - searchable field name, must be unique for whole array, if specified - value must be specified as well; value - searchable field value, if specified - key must be specified as well. Required

If you create an object with a queriable headers, internally it looks like this:

x-query-somequeriablefieldkey: somequeriablefieldvalue
x-query-anotherqueriablefieldkey: anotherqueriablefieldvalue

where 'x-query-' is a default prefix.

Using Maester REST API you can find this object by:

/objects?query[somequeriablefieldkey]=somequeriablefieldvalue&query[anotherqueriablefieldkey]=anotherqueriablefieldvalue

Using the library:

const obj = await objectStorage.lookupObjectByQueryParameters([
  { key: 'somequeriablefieldkey', value: 'somequeriablefieldvalue' },
  { key: 'anotherqueriablefieldkey', value: 'anotherqueriablefieldvalue' }
]);

The method returns a JSON array. It either is empty in case no objects found or contains objects

Update object

The method has the following signature:

async updateObject(id: string, data: object)

where

• id - Maester internal id of the object to update. E.g. '76380cae-aee3-457a-9029-d971f61e3731'. Required
• data - object to update. Required

const obj = await objectStorage.updateObject(id, data);

Delete object

The method has the following signature:

async deleteObjectById(id: string)

where

• id - Maester internal id of the object to update. E.g. '76380cae-aee3-457a-9029-d971f61e3731'. Required

const obj = await objectStorage.deleteObjectById(id);
