Documentation

The full documentation can be found here: https://findify.readme.io/v3/reference#js-sdk-introduction

For release notes, see the CHANGELOG.

Quickstart

In the Browser

To use the SDK in the browser, simply add the following script tag to your HTML pages:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@findify/sdk@latest/dist/findify-sdk.js></script>

In Node.js

Install the SDK using npm:

$ npm install --save @findify/sdk

or yarn

$ yarn add @findify/sdk

The Findify SDK for JavaScript bundles TypeScript definition files for use in TypeScript projects and to support tools that can read .d.ts files. Our goal is to keep these TypeScript definition files updated with each release for any public api.

Examples

var FindifySDK = require('@findify/sdk');

// First, you need to initialize library:
var client = FindifySDK.init({
  key: 'your_api_key',
  // If you are using this library on a frontend, it will be convenient for you to provide user once on initialization.
  // You can get user object, using `findify-analytics` library, or by manually getting data from cookies:
  user: {
    uid: 'user_id',
    sid: 'session_id'
  }
});

// After library initialized, we can send requests to server with `client` instance. Let's perform autocomplete request:
client.send({
  type: 'autocomplete',
  params: {
    q: 'Red jacket',
    // If you are using this library on server, you will need to deal with multiple users objects.
    // In this case, you need to provide `user` object on each request. If you provided `user` on init, it will be overrided:
    user: {
      uid: 'user_id',
      sid: 'session_id'
    }
   }
}).then(function(response) {
  // `response` variable will contain all response data from server, which could be later provided to the view layer.
});

See examples/ for working examples of how the SDK can be used in a few different environments.

We will try to follow semver as close as possible. That means bug fixes will be patch releases (1.0.1 -> 1.0.2), additional functionality like new endpoints will be minor releases (1.0.1 -> 1.1.0) and breaking changes to both the library and the API endpoints it hits, will be major releases (1.0.1 -> 2.0.0).
