Bootic JS API Client

Client for the Bootic API, written in pure Javascript, like real men do.

Usage

const bootic = require('bootic')
 
bootic
  .auth('bearer', { accessToken: 'aabbcc...xxyyzz' })
  .then(function(root) {
    return root.shops.first()
  })
  .then(function(shop) {
    return shop.orders.last()
  })
  .then(function(order) {
    console.log(order)
  })

Or for a more advanced example, let's say we want to hide all products contained in the 'Offers' collection.

bootic
  .auth({ clientId: '123abc...', clientSecret: 'zxy321...' }) // credentials strategy
  .then(function(root) {
    // both callback and promises are allowed.
    root.shops.first(function(shop) {
      console.log(`Processing ${shop.subdomain}`) // Entity attribute
 
      // follow `products` link, that returns a collection and iterate over items
      shop.products.where(collection: 'Offers').each(function(product) {
 
        // and call the `update` action
        product.update(status: 'hidden').then(function(res) {
          console.log(res)
        })
      })
    })

Install

npm install -g bootic (or yarn add)

Using the client

Starting from the root Element (initialized using the response from the API's rootUrl), an Element has attributes (strings, numbers, dates, etc), links, and embedded items (which can be either other Elements or Collections of Elements). Links can either return other Elements or Collections, as with embedded items, but they can also perform actions on the current Element in which case a success/error status is returned.

This client supports chaining methods from Elements and Collections until a method is finally called. This means that both Elements and Collections can either be Embedded (its contents are known, since the data has already been received), Linked (unknown contents, linked from the current Element) or even Virtual (when the caller isn't Embedded but Virtual, e.g. contact in shop.orders.first.contact).

Authentication

.auth(strategy, opts)

Initializes the client with the given options and strategy provided. strategy can be either bearer, credentials or authorized, or even skipped, in which case the strategy is deduced from the given credentials.

Options:

  • accessToken: Required for bearer and authorized strategies.
  • clientId: For credentials and authorized strategies.
  • clientSecret: Same as above.
  • rootUrl: To use an alternate endpoint for the API root.
  • strategy: Yes, you can also pass it as an option.

Contributing

Just with silence for the time being. This is kind of experimental stuff so until the interface stabilizes a bit I won't accept any patches.
