DoTs

DoTs is the official DigitalOcean Typescript Client based on the DO OpenAPIv3 specification.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• NodeJS 18 or above
• TypeScript 5 or above
• A DigitalOcean account with an active subscription. Along with a DigitalOcean token with proper permissions to manage DigitalOcean resources.
• "type": "module" in your package.json (for ES module support)

Installation

The package is published on npmjs.com.

npm i @digitalocean/dots

Documentation

Note: Comprehensive documentation quality is currently lacking and under development. The documentation is actively being improved and will be updated once fixed.

Basic Usage

A quick guide to getting started with client

Authenticating

dots must be initialized with createDigitalOceanClient(). A DigitalOcean token is required. This token can be passed in via DigitalOceanApiKeyAuthenticationProvider(), an example below:

const authProvider = new DigitalOceanApiKeyAuthenticationProvider(token!);
// Create request adapter using the fetch-based implementation
const adapter = new FetchRequestAdapter(authProvider);
// Create the API client
const client = createDigitalOceanClient(adapter);

Managing DigitalOcean Resources

Find below a working example of creating a DigitalOcean volume via dots:

import { createDigitalOceanClient, DigitalOceanApiKeyAuthenticationProvider,
 FetchRequestAdapter, Volumes_ext4 } from "@digitalocean/dots";

const token = process.env.DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN;
if (!token) {
    throw new Error("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN not set");
}

const authProvider = new DigitalOceanApiKeyAuthenticationProvider(token!);
// Create request adapter using the fetch-based implementation
const adapter = new FetchRequestAdapter(authProvider);
// Create the API client
const client = createDigitalOceanClient(adapter);

async function main(): Promise<void> {
    try {
        const volumeReq: Volumes_ext4 = {
            sizeGigabytes: 10,
            name: `test-volume`,
            description: "Block storage testing",
            region: "nyc3",
            filesystemType: "ext4",
        };

        const resp = await client.v2.volumes.post(volumeReq);
        if (resp && resp.volume) {
            const volume = resp.volume;
            console.log(`Created volume ${volume.name} <ID: ${volume.id}>`);
        } else {
            throw new Error("Failed to create volume or volume is undefined");
        }

        console.log("Done!");

    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
}

main();

Running the above code snippet with tsc && node index.js would output the following:

Created volume test-volume <ID: 751d0c09-1613-11f0-8aa5-0a58ac147241>
Done!
