ArrowDB Node SDK v2

The SDK of ArrowDB for NodeJS

Getting started

git clone git+https://github.com/appcelerator/arrowdb-node-sdk-v2-v2.git
cd arrowdb-node-sdk-v2
npm install

Basic Example

You can get an overview of ArrowDB Node SDK example from examples/basic.js

cd arrowdb-node-sdk-v2-v2/examples
export ARROWDB_APPKEY=YOUR_ARROWDB_TEST_APPKEY
node basic.js

ArrowDB Node SDK Example on Node.ACS

There is another example for ArrowDB Node SDK to show how to run on Node.ACS as a service.

Make sure you have installed Node.ACS command line tool first:

sudo npm -g install acs

Then you can try:

cd arrowdb-node-sdk-v2-v2/examples/over_nodeacs
# Update config.json to fill in your ArrowDB app key
vi config.json
acs run

Open another session and try:

curl -b cookie.txt -c cookie.txt -X POST -F "login=YOUR_USERNAME" -F "password=YOUR_PASSWORD" http://localhost:8080/login
curl -b cookie.txt -c cookie.txt -X GET http://localhost:8080/showMe

ArrowDB Node SDK Basic Usage

Use ArrowDB Node SDK directly

var ArrowDB = require('arrowdb');
var arrowDBApp = new ArrowDB('Your_ARROWDB_APPKEY');

arrowDBApp.usersLogin({
    login: ARROWDB_USERNAME,
    password: ARROWDB_PASSWORD
}, function(err, result) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
    }
    console.log('Logged in user: %j', result.body);
    arrowDBApp.usersShowMe(function(err, result) {
        if (err) {
            console.error(err);
            return;
        }
        console.log('Show user: %j', result.body);
    });
});

Use ArrowDB Node SDK inner express or http/https NodeJS module

// HTTP call 1 with cookie:
var arrowDBApp = new ArrowDB('Your_ARROWDB_APPKEY');

arrowDBApp.usersLogin({
    login: req.body.login,
    password: req.body.password,
    req: req,
    res: res
}, function(err, result) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
    }
    res.end(result.body);
});

// HTTP call 2 with cookie, after HTTP call 1:
var ArrowDB = require('arrowdb');
var arrowDBApp = new ArrowDB('Your_ARROWDB_APPKEY');

arrowDBApp.usersShowMe(ARROWDB_APPKEY, {
    req: req,
    res: res
}, function(err, result) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
    }
    res.end(result.body);
});

Custom ACS Endpoint

var ArrowDB = require('arrowdb');
var arrowDBApp = new ArrowDB(arrowDBKey, {
	    apiEntryPoint: "api.customacs.com",
		prettyJson: true
	});

General RestAPI call

var arrowDBApp = new ArrowDB('Your_ARROWDB_APPKEY');

arrowDBApp.post(ARROWDB_APPKEY, '/v2/users/login.json', {
    login: ARROWDB_USERNAME,
    password: ARROWDB_PASSWORD
}, function(err, result) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
    }

    console.log('ArrowDB returned body: %j', result.body);
    console.log('Cookie string returned: %s', result.cookieString);

    arrowDBApp.get(ARROWDB_APPKEY, '/v2/users/show/me.json', function(err, result) {
        if (err) {
            console.error(err);
            return;
        }
        console.log('ArrowDB returned user: %j', result.body);
    });
});

Session Management

By default, arrowdb-node-sdk-v2 will manage sessions for you automatically when you log in and out. You can create a new ArrowDB instance for each authenticated session. You can also reuse an existing instance by calling usersLogin() again, however this simply overwrites the existing session cookie and will not log out the previous session.

However, if you'd prefer to manually manage the session cookie, then you can set the autoSessionManagement option to false when the ArrowDB instance is created.

var arrowDBApp = new ArrowDB('Your_ARROWDB_APPKEY', {
    autoSessionManagement: false
});

This means once you log in, you must track the session cookie yourself:

arrowDBApp.userLogin({
    login: ARROWDB_USERNAME,
    password: ARROWDB_PASSWORD
}, function(err, result) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
    }
    
    console.log('Logged in user');
    console.log('Cookie string returned: %s', result.cookieString);
    
    // IMPORTANT! You must set the sessionCookieString or else all privileged calls will fail
    arrowDBApp.sessionCookieString = result.cookieString;
});

Running Unit Tests

To run the unit tests, simply run:

export ARROWDB_APPKEY=ONE_OF_YOUR_ARROWDB_TEST_APPKEY
npm test
