Pizzly Node.js client

Node.js client to query any APIs using Pizzly.

Installation

npm install pizzly-node
# or
yarn add pizzly-node

Usage

Calling an API endpoint (proxy)

Once a user is connected, you can use its authId to query any endpoint of the API.

const Pizzly = require('pizzly-node') // or import { Pizzly } from 'pizzly-node'

const pizzly = new Pizzly({ host: 'pizzly.example.org' }) // Initialize Pizzly with your own instance
const myAPI = pizzly.integration('x-api') // Replace with the API slugname

myAPI
  .auth('x-auth-id') // Replace with a valid authId
  .get('/x-endpoint') // Replace with a valid endpoint
  .then(response => console.log) // Do something with the response
  .catch(console.error)

Most common HTTP methods are supported out-of-the-box, including .get(), .post(), .put() and .delete().

Handling the response

Under the hood, we use node-fetch to send requests. As a consequence, each response from the API are Response class of the node-fetch package. When the API uses JSON response type, you can retrieve the JSON response as follow:

myAPI
  .auth('x-auth-id')
  .get('/x-endpoint')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data)) // do something with the JSON payload (aka data)
  .catch(console.error)

Advanced usage

Using your secret key

It's highly recommended to secure your Pizzly instance after deployment (learn more). Once you've added a secret key, pass it to the client as follow:

const Pizzly = require('pizzly-node') // or import { Pizzly } from 'pizzly-node'

const pizzly = new Pizzly({
  host: 'x-replace-with-your-pizzly-instance',
  secretKey: 'x-replace-with-your-secret-key'
})

Passing extra params

Here's how to send headers to the API:

myAPI
  .auth('x-auth-id')
  .post('/x-endpoint', { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=something' } })
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error)

Here's how to send query string to the API:

myAPI
  .auth('x-auth-id')
  .post('/x-endpoint', { query: { search: 'some keywords' } })
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error)

Sending body works the same way:

myAPI
  .auth('x-auth-id')
  .post('/x-endpoint', { body: 'My body' })
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error)

Async / await

Using async/await is supported to improve code readability:

const response = await pizzly.integration('x-api').get('/x-endpoint')

In that snippet, response will be a Response interface of the node-fetch package.

Dealing with multiple configurations

By default, each request made through Pizzly uses the latest configuration that you have saved. If you have multiple configurations in place for the same API, you can tell Pizzly which configuration should be used.

const config1 = '...'
const config2 = '...'

const github1 = pizzly.integration('github').setup(config1)
const github2 = pizzly.integration('github').setup(config2)

// Make a request with the 1st configuration
github1.get('/')

// Make another request with the 2nd configuration
github2.get('/')
