esca-api-client

A JavaScript client library for Escalade Sports microservices

Usage

Step 1 – Instantiate the client

/**
 * Note: the below import should work as written; if not, you may need
 * to import from either '@escaladesports/esca-api-client/browser' or
 * '@escaladesports/esca-api-client/node' depending on your environment
 */
import EscaAPIClient from '@escaladesports/esca-api-client'

const client = new EscaAPIClient({
  environment: `prod`,              // 'test' or 'prod'; defaults to 'test'
  site: `lifeline`,                 // site name; same as ESC-API-Context header
  apiKey: `123abc789xyz`,           // optional; uses relative URLs if not given
  devHost: `http://localhost:8000`  // optional; specifies exact host/port in dev
})

Important notes on API URLs:

• If apiKey is not provided, relative URLs formatted like /api/{resource}/{action} will be used (e.g. /api/products/load). Otherwise, the full escsportsapi.com URLs will be used (e.g. https://products.escsportsapi.com/load) unless devHost is set.
• If devHost is provided, URLs will permanently be the value of devHost followed by the relative URL structure described above. This config property should be conditionally included if using the client in a development context and left out completely for production.

Step 2 – Use the client

Here's an example using the loadProducts method:

const products = await client.loadProducts({
  fields: [`inventory`, `price`], // optional; returns name & sku by default
  skus: [`2-FMT-3`, `2-FMT-5`],   // optional; defaults to 'all'
  byParent: true  // optional; groups variants by base product
  // These alternatives are also accepted:
  //    groupByParent: true
  //    groupby: `parent`
  //    groupBy: `parent`
})

Error Handling & Reporting

The client is meant to handle & report most errors. All functions will either:

A) return the expected data or appropriate empty structure (e.g. empty array for products)

B) potentially throw an error (for create/update/delete actions); the error will always be a proper Error object with a message suitable for displaying to the user

Functions which only load data (e.g. loadProducts) will never throw errors but may log failed requests or other problems to the console. Any problems such as failed API calls (non-404) will be reported to Sentry.

Development Notes

This package uses Jest for testing. Run yarn test to run all tests throughout the package.

The test files use these environment variables to make requests to the services, so make sure they are set:

Variable	Description
TEST_API_ENV	Environment for the API to use (dev, test, or prod)
TEST_API_KEY	API key to use for the services

Within the test files, these variables can be accessed simply as TEST_API_ENV and TEST_API_KEY (without process.env prepended). They are set up as Jest globals in jest.config.js via the dotenv package.
