Reviews Microservice Client SDK for Node.js

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

• Direct client
• HTTP client
• Seneca client (see http://www.senecajs.org)
• AWS Lambda client (see https://aws.amazon.com/lambda)

Quick Links:

• Development Guide
• API Version 1

Install

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

{
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        ....
        "client-reviews-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

let sdk = new require('client-reviews-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
let client = sdk.reviewsHttpClientV1(config);

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

// Work with the microservice
    ...

Now the client is ready to perform operations

// Create a new review
var review = {
    id: '1',
    party_id: '1',
    product_id: '1',
    rating: 0,
    full_review: true
};

let rating = await client.submitReview(
    null,
    review
);

// Get the list of reviews
let page = await client.getReviews(
    null,
    {
        product_id: '1'
    },
    {
        total: true,
        skip: 0,
        take: 10
    }
);
