The Vements Client Library for JavaScript is a client library for accessing the Vements API from applications written in the JavaScript language. It also includes a command line tool that can be used to interact with the API in scripts or in a terminal.

Documentation

See the Getting Started Guide for more information on how to use this library.

Installation

To install the Vements Client Library for JavaScript, use the following command:

$ npm install @vements/client-js --save

Usage

The following example shows how to use the Vements Client Library for JavaScript to create a new Vements client, and then use that client to create a new Vements scoreboard.

import { Client } from "@vements/client-js";

const client = Client("YOUR_API_KEY")
const scoreboard = client.scoreboard.Create({display: "My Scoreboard", rankDir: "desc", public: false})

Command Line Tool

The Vements Client Library for JavaScript includes a command line tool that can be used to interact with the Vements API. The command line tool supports all of the same operations as the API.

Usage

$ npm run build; node dist/vements.cjs.js --help

The JavaScript CLI tool supports all of the same operations as the CLI tool in other languages:

• achievement CRUD, list, leaderboard, record progress
• participant CRUD, list, progress, scores
• scoreboard CRUD, list, scoreboard, record score

The above commands all support the following options:

• --api-key to specify the API key
• --verbose to show verbose output

In addition to resource commands, these common commands are also supported:

• api-version to show the API version
• client-version to show the client library version

The library and CLI both support the following environment variables:

• API_KEY to specify the API key
• SERVER_TAGS to specify the tags used to select the server URL
