Gemeente Nijmegen Api Client

An HTTP Api Client module. Used for applications requiring mutual TLS, backed by config in AWS.

How to use

Quickstart:

Install using npm:

npm i @gemeentenijmegen/apiclient

The client expects either the following environment parameters to be set, or to be provided a client certificate, private key and root ca:

MTLS_PRIVATE_KEY_ARN // AWS Arn to the secrets manager ARN holding the private key MTLS_CLIENT_CERT_NAME // The name of an SSM parameter holding the client certificate MTLS_ROOT_CA_NAME // The name of an SSM parameter holding the root ca

// create a client
const apiClient = new ApiClient();
// init (get parameters from store etc.)
await apiClient.init();
// Use the client to request data
const data = await apiClient.requestData('/test', { data: 'test ' },  {'Content-type': 'application/json'});

The request can throw an error, the actual message is logged, a generic Error is thrown.
