ElmapiCMS JavaScript SDK

A JavaScript SDK for interacting with the ElmapiCMS Content API. This SDK provides type-safe access to all API endpoints for managing content, assets, and collections in your ElmapiCMS instance.

Installation

npm install elmapi

Quick Start

import { createClient } from 'elmapi';

// Create a client instance
const client = createClient(
  'https://your-instance.elmapi.com',
  'your-api-token',
  '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000' // Your project UUID
);

// Get project information
const projectsApi = new ProjectsApi(client);
const projectInfo = await projectsApi.getProjectInfo();
console.log('Project Info:', projectInfo);

// Get collections for the project
const collectionsApi = new CollectionsApi(client);
const collections = await collectionsApi.getCollections();
console.log('Collections:', collections);

// Get content entries for a collection
const contentApi = new ContentApi(client);
const content = await contentApi.getContentEntries('blog-posts');
console.log('Content:', content);

Features

• Type Safety: Full TypeScript support
• Promise-based: Modern async/await support
• Comprehensive: Covers all API endpoints
• Well-documented: JSDoc comments for all methods

API Reference

Projects

// Get project information
const projectsApi = new ProjectsApi(client);
const projectInfo = await projectsApi.getProjectInfo();

Collections

// Get all collections for the current project
const collectionsApi = new CollectionsApi(client);
const collections = await collectionsApi.getCollections();

// Get content entries for a collection
const contentApi = new ContentApi(client);
const content = await contentApi.getContentEntries('blog-posts', {
  state: 'with_draft',

  order: 'created_at:desc'
});

// Get a specific content entry
const entry = await contentApi.getContentEntry('blog-posts', 'uuid-here');

// Create a new content entry
const newEntry = await contentApi.createContentEntry('blog-posts', {
  locale: 'en',
  status: 'draft',
  data: {
    title: 'My Content',
    content: 'Content body'
  }
});

// Update a content entry (PUT) - replace the entire entry
const updatedEntry = await contentApi.updateContentEntry('blog-posts', 'uuid-here', {
  data: { title: 'Updated Content' }
});

// Patch a content entry (PATCH) - update only the fields that are provided
const patchedEntry = await contentApi.patchContentEntry('blog-posts', 'uuid-here', {
  data: { title: 'Patched Content' }
});

// Delete a content entry (move to trash)
await contentApi.deleteContentEntry('blog-posts', 'uuid-here');

// Permanently delete a content entry
await contentApi.deleteContentEntry('blog-posts', 'uuid-here', true);

Assets

// Get all assets for the current project
const assetsApi = new AssetsApi(client);
const assets = await assetsApi.getAssets({
  search: 'image',
  type: 'image',
  paginate: 20
});

// Get a specific asset by ID or UUID
const asset = await assetsApi.getAsset('uuid-here');

// Get a specific asset by filename
const asset = await assetsApi.getAssetByFilename('my-image.jpg');

// Upload a new asset
const newAsset = await assetsApi.uploadAsset(file, {
  alt: 'Image description',
  category: 'blog'
});

// Delete an asset (soft delete)
await assetsApi.deleteAsset('uuid-here');

// Permanently delete an asset
await assetsApi.deleteAsset('uuid-here', true);

Error Handling

The SDK throws errors for HTTP errors (4xx, 5xx status codes). You can catch and handle them:

try {
  const projectsApi = new ProjectsApi(client);
  const projectInfo = await projectsApi.getProjectInfo();
} catch (error) {
  if (error.message.includes('404')) {
    console.log('Project not found');
  } else if (error.message.includes('401')) {
    console.log('Unauthorized - check your API token and project ID');
  } else {
    console.log('An error occurred:', error.message);
  }
}
