clever-client

clever-client

JavaScript client for Clever-Cloud API.

How to build

First you need to install the npm dependencies:

npm install

Then you need to run the npm script build and provide the API endpoint you want to use:

API_BASE_URL="https://api.clever-cloud.com/v2" npm run build

This will build a two bundles (non-minified and minified) in dist: clever-client.js and clever-client.min.js. Those bundles can be used with node.js or in a browser environment.

How to release

Once you've built a client, you can create a release and publish it on npmjs.com.

To create a new release, you need to update package.json and package-lock.json with the new version, create a commit and add a git tag. This can be done with this command:

npm version minor

NOTE: Most of the time, you need to update the client because the API changed. For this kind of cases a minor update will be OK. If a minor update is not what you're looking for, you can check the other options of npm version.

After this step, you're ready to publish this new version:

npm publish

How to build for preprod and test it locally without publishing

If you're working with a new (or modified) API that is only available on the preprod env, you need a way to generate a client for this version and use it locally in your projects.

To do this, you need to run the build script with the preprod endpoint:

API_BASE_URL="https://ccapi-preprod.cleverapps.io/v2" npm run build

Then, you need to generate a local package:

npm pack

This will generate a local archive named clever-client-X.Y.Z.tgz. You can use this archive in your local projects to try and test the new (or modified) APIs.

If your project uses npm, you'll have to do this:

npm install path/to/clever-client-X.Y.Z.tgz

This will override the version specified in the package.json.

If your project uses yarn, you'll have to do this:

yarn cache clean clever-client
yarn add -f path/to/clever-client-X.Y.Z.tgz
