Installing

Package Manager

$ npm install @acho-inc/acho-js

If you want to use it as a dependency in your project that needs to be built and deployed

$ npm install @acho-inc/acho-js --save

After the package is installed in your package.json

import { Acho } from '@acho-inc/acho-js';

Example

Initializing the Acho Client

const AchoInstance = new Acho();

The SDK will use the environment variables from your system

ACHO_TOKEN: The Acho develoepr API token

• If you are a current subscriber, retrieve it from your profile page
• If you want to try out the SDK without an active subscription, please contact us

ACHO_API_ENDPOINT: The service backend you are connecting to

• Default to https://kube.acho.io
• This setting is irrelevant unless you subscribe to on-premise or dedicated server

If you prefer convenience in testing, you could also initialize the instance by passing in the variables in constructor

const AchoInstance = new Acho({
  apiToken: 'eyEi3oldsi....',
  endpoint: 'https://kube.acho.io'
});

Note: It is not recommended to expose your API token in the code base, especially on production
We highly recommend dotenv for conveniently modifying environment variables during testing
If you suspect your token might be leaked, you can invalidate the token in your profile page, or report to [email protected]

Working with Resource Endpoints

Create a new resource

const resourceResp = await AchoInstance.ResourceEndpoints.create({ name: 'test' });

/* resourceResp: { 
    resId: number,
    assetId: number,
    resource: {
      id: number,
      res_name: string,
      res_display_name: string,
      res_type: 'integration',
      is_ready: 1,
      create_time: unix_timestamp (UTC),
      user_id: number,
      update_time: unix_timestamp (UTC),
      asset_id: number
    }
   }
*/

Create a table in a resource

const resourceTableResp = await AchoInstance.ResourceEndpoints.createTable({
  resId: testResId,
  tableName: 'test',
  schema: { col1: 'STRING', col2: 'INTEGER' }
});

/* resourceTableResp: {
    resource: {
      id: number,
      res_name: string,
      ...
    }
    tableName: string
   }
*/

Stream data into a table

// JSON flavor
const writableStream = AchoInstance.ResourceEndpoints.createWriteStream({
  resId: testResId,
  tableId: 'test',
  dataType: 'json'
});
const testArray = [
  { col1: 'JSON_1', col2: 1 },
  { col1: 'JSON_2', col2: 2 },
  { col1: 'JSON_3', col2: 3 },
  { col1: 'JSON_4', col2: 4 }
];
await new Promise((resolve) => {
  testArray.forEach((row) => {
    writableStream.write(JSON.stringify(row) + '\n');
  });
  writableStream.end();
  writableStream.on('response', (res) => {
    // expect(res.statusCode).toBe(200);
    resolve('done');
  });
});

// CSV flavor
const writableStream = AchoInstance.ResourceEndpoints.createWriteStream({
  resId: testResId,
  tableId: 'test',
  dataType: 'csv'
});
const testCSV = 'CSV_1,1\nCSV_2,2\nCSV_3,3\nCSV_4,4\n';
await new Promise((resolve) => {
  writableStream.write(testCSV);
  writableStream.end();
  writableStream.on('response', (res) => {
    // expect(res.statusCode).toBe(200);
    resolve('done');
  });
});

Note: You can also pipe readable stream into the writableStream created from a resource table
The supported formats are CSV and NDJSON.

Use Cases

Create a Resource and a table in the Resource, then insert data into the table

Create a new resource and a resource table first

const createResourceTable = async () => {
  const resourceResp = await AchoInstance.ResourceEndpoints.create({
    name: 'Test Resource'
  });

  const { resId } = resourceResp;

  // please make sure you capture the resId here if you want to do the process in two steps
  console.log(resId);

  const resourceTableResp = await AchoInstance.ResourceEndpoints.createTable({
    resId: resId,
    tableName: 'Test Table',
    schema: { name: 'STRING', age: 'INTEGER' }
  });
};

Write data to the resource table (in this example we are using JSON)

const writeData = async () => {
  const writableStream = AchoInstance.ResourceEndpoints.createWriteStream({
    // replace 1234 with the id you captured earlier
    resId: 1234,
    tableId: 'Test Table',
    dataType: 'json'
  });

  const testArray = [
    { name: 'Adam', age: 28 },
    { name: 'Dan', age: 33 },
    { name: 'Jason', age: 35 },
    { name: 'Zach', age: 40 }
  ];

  await new Promise((resolve) => {
    testArray.forEach((row) => {
      writableStream.write(JSON.stringify(row) + '\n');
    });
    writableStream.end();
    writableStream.on('response', (res) => {
      resolve('done');
    });
  });
};

After finishing the previous steps, if you add "Test Table" from Resource "Test Resource" to a Project on Acho, here is what you will get.
