Facets Microservice Client SDK for Node.js

This is a Node.js client SDK for service-facets microservice. It provides an easy to use abstraction over communication protocols:

• HTTP client
• Seneca client (see http://www.senecajs.org)
• Direct client for monolytic deployments
• Null client to be used in testing

• Development Guide
• API Version 1

Install

Add dependency to the client SDK into package.json file of your project

{
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        ....
        "client-facets-node": "^1.0.*",
        ...
    }
}

Then install the dependency using npm tool

# Install new dependencies
npm install

# Update already installed dependencies
npm update

Use

Inside your code get the reference to the client SDK

var sdk = new require('client-facets-node');

Define client configuration parameters that match configuration of the microservice external API

// Client configuration
var config = {
    connection: {
        protocol: 'http',
        host: 'localhost', 
        port: 8080
    }
};

Instantiate the client and open connection to the microservice

// Create the client instance
var client = sdk.FacetsHttpClientV1(config);

// Connect to the microservice
await client.open(null);

// Work with the microservice
...

Now the client is ready to perform operations

// Record facets for a user
let partyFacets = await client.addFacet(
    null,
    'statistics',
    '12234'
);

// Get the list of user facets
let partyFacets = await client.getFacetsByGroup(
    null,
    'statistics'
);
