Quick start

npm i kentico-cloud-delivery-typescript-sdk --save

TypeScript (ES6)

import { ContentItem, Fields,TypeResolver,DeliveryClient,DeliveryClientConfig } from 'kentico-cloud-delivery-typescript-sdk';

/**
 * This is optional, but it is considered a best practice to define your models
 * so you can leverage intellisense and so that you can extend your models with 
 * additional properties / methods.
 */
export class Movie extends ContentItem {
  public title: Fields.TextField;
}

/**
 * Type resolvers make sure instance of proper class is created for your content types.
 * If you don't use any custom models, return an empty array.
 */
let typeResolvers: TypeResolver[] = [
    new TypeResolver('movie', () => new Movie()),
];

/**
 * Create new instance of Delivery Client
 */
var deliveryClient = new DeliveryClient(
  new DeliveryClientConfig('projectId', typeResolvers)
);

/**
 * Get typed data from Cloud (note that the 'Movie' has to be registered in your type resolvers)
 */
deliveryClient.items<Movie>()
  .type('movie')
  .get()
  .subscribe(response => {
    console.log(response);
    // you can access strongly types properties
    console.log(response.items[0].title.text);
});

/**
 * Get data without having custom models 
 */
deliveryClient.items<ContentItem>()
  .type('movie')
  .get()
  .subscribe(response => {
    console.log(response);
    // you can access properties same way as with strongly typed models, but note
    // that you don't get any intellisense and the underlying object 
    // instance is of 'ContentItem' type
    console.log(response.items[0].title.text);
});

JavaScript (CommonJS)

var KenticoCloud = require('kentico-cloud-delivery-typescript-sdk');

/**
 * This is optional, but it is considered a best practice to define your models
 * so that you can leverage intellisense and extend your models with 
 * additional methods.
 */
class Movie extends KenticoCloud.ContentItem {
    constructor() {
        super();
    }
}

/**
 * Type resolvers make sure instance of proper class is created for your content types.
 * If you don't use any custom classes, return an empty array.
 */
var typeResolvers = [
    new KenticoCloud.TypeResolver('movie', () => new Movie()),
];

/**
 * Delivery client configuration object
 */
var config = new KenticoCloud.DeliveryClientConfig(projectId, typeResolvers);

/**
 * Create new instance of Delivery Client
 */
var deliveryClient = new KenticoCloud.DeliveryClient(config);

/**
 * Fetch all items of 'movie' type and given parameters from Kentico Cloud.
 * Important note: SDK will convert items to your type if you registered it. For example,
 * in this case the objects will be of 'Movie' type we defined above. 
 * If you don't use custom models, 'ContentItem' object instances will be returned.
 */
deliveryClient.items()
    .type('movie')
    .get()
    .subscribe(response => console.log(response));
