Overview

The IBM Cloud “Schematics Node.js SDK allows developers to programmatically interact with the following IBM Cloud services:

Service Name	Import Path
Schematics	@ibm-cloud/ibm-schematics/schematics/v1

Prerequisites

• You need an IBM Cloud account.
• Node.js >=10: This SDK is tested with Node.js versions 10 and up. It may work on previous versions but this is not officially supported.

Installation

npm install @ibm-cloud/ibm-schematics

Authentication

The library requires Identity and Access Management (IAM) to authenticate requests. There are several ways to set the properties for authentication

1. As environment variables
2. The programmatic approach
3. With an external credentials file

Authenticate with environment variables

For Schematics IAM authentication set the following environmental variables by replacing with your proper service credentials.

SCHEMATICS_URL = https://schematics.cloud.ibm.com
SCHEMATICS_APIKEY = <apikey>

Authenticate with external configuration

To use an external configuration file, see the related documentation in the Node.js SDK Core document about authentication.

Authenticate programmatically

To learn more about how to use programmatic authentication, see the related documentation in the Node.js SDK Core document about authentication.

Getting Started

A quick example to get you up and running with Schematics Node.js SDK service

const { IamAuthenticator } = require('@ibm-cloud/ibm-schematics/auth');
const SchematicsV1 = require('@ibm-cloud/ibm-schematics/schematics/v1');

// Create an IAM authenticator.
const authenticator = new IamAuthenticator({
  apikey: '<apiKey>',
});

// Construct the service client.
const schematicsService = new SchematicsV1({
  authenticator,                                  // required
  serviceUrl: 'https://schematics.cloud.ibm.com', // optional
});

// List all schematics workspaces
schematicsService
  .listWorkspaces()
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.result);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.warn(err);
  });
