- 📦 Zero Dependencies - Only depends on
@objectql/typesand@objectstack/specfor type definitions - 🔒 Type-Safe - Full TypeScript support with generics
- 🚀 Modern APIs - Uses native
fetchAPI available in all modern JavaScript runtimes - 🎯 RESTful Interface - Clean, predictable API design
- ✅ DriverInterface v4.0 - Fully compliant with ObjectStack protocol specification
- 🔐 Authentication - Built-in support for Bearer tokens and API keys
- 🔄 Retry Logic - Automatic retry with exponential backoff for network resilience

});Legacy CRUD Methods
The RemoteDriver also supports legacy CRUD methods for backward compatibility:
// Find records
const users = await driver.find('users', {
filters: [['status', '=', 'active']],
sort: [['name', 'asc']],
limit: 10
});
// Find one record
const user = await driver.findOne('users', 'user_123');
// Create a record
const newUser = await driver.create('users', {
name: 'Alice',
email: '[email protected]'
});
// Update a record
const updated = await driver.update('users', 'user_123', {
status: 'inactive'
});
// Delete a record
await driver.delete('users', 'user_123');
// Count records
const count = await driver.count('users', {
filters: [['status', '=', 'active']]
});Authentication Examples
// Bearer token authentication
const driverWithToken = new RemoteDriver({
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
token: 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...'
});
// API key authentication
const driverWithApiKey = new RemoteDriver({
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
apiKey: 'sk-1234567890abcdef'
});
// Both token and API key
const driverWithBoth = new RemoteDriver({
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
token: 'jwt-token',
apiKey: 'api-key'
});
// Custom headers
const driverWithHeaders = new RemoteDriver({
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
headers: {
'X-Tenant-ID': 'tenant_123',
'X-Request-ID': crypto.randomUUID()
}
});Error Handling and Retry
import { ObjectQLError, ApiErrorCode } from '@objectql/types';
// Enable retry with exponential backoff
const driver = new RemoteDriver({
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
enableRetry: true,
maxRetries: 3,
timeout: 10000
});
try {
const result = await driver.executeQuery({ object: 'users' });
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof ObjectQLError) {
switch (error.code) {
case ApiErrorCode.UNAUTHORIZED:
console.error('Authentication required');
break;
case ApiErrorCode.VALIDATION_ERROR:
console.error('Validation failed:', error.details);
break;
case ApiErrorCode.NOT_FOUND:
console.error('Resource not found');
break;
default:
console.error('API error:', error.message);
}
}
}Request Logging
// Enable logging for debugging
const driver = new RemoteDriver({
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
enableLogging: true
});
// Logs will be printed to console:
// [RemoteDriver] executeQuery { endpoint: '...', ast: {...} }
// [RemoteDriver] executeQuery response { value: [...], count: 10 }🌐 Browser Compatibility
The SDK uses modern JavaScript APIs available in all current browsers:
- fetch API - Available in all modern browsers
- Promises/async-await - ES2017+
- AbortSignal.timeout() - Chrome 103+, Firefox 100+, Safari 16.4+
Automatic Polyfill
The SDK automatically includes a polyfill for AbortSignal.timeout() that activates when running in older browsers. You don't need to add any polyfills manually - the SDK works universally out of the box!
The polyfill is lightweight and only adds the missing functionality when needed, ensuring compatibility with:
- Chrome 90+
- Firefox 90+
- Safari 15+
- Edge 90+
For even older browsers, you may need to add polyfills for:
fetchAPI (viawhatwg-fetch)AbortController(viaabort-controllerpackage)
🔧 Advanced Usage
Custom Headers
const client = new DataApiClient({
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
headers: {
'X-Custom-Header': 'value',
'X-Request-ID': crypto.randomUUID()
}
});Dynamic Token Updates
class AuthenticatedClient {
private client: DataApiClient;
constructor(baseUrl: string) {
this.client = new DataApiClient({ baseUrl });
}
setToken(token: string) {
this.client = new DataApiClient({
baseUrl: this.client['baseUrl'],
token
});
}
async fetchData() {
return this.client.list('users');
}
}Error Handling
import { ObjectQLError, ApiErrorCode } from '@objectql/types';
try {
await client.create('users', { email: 'invalid' });
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof ObjectQLError) {
console.error('ObjectQL Error:', error.code, error.message);
if (error.code === ApiErrorCode.VALIDATION_ERROR) {
console.log('Validation failed:', error.details);
}
}
}📖 Examples
React Hook
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { DataApiClient } from '@objectql/sdk';
const client = new DataApiClient({
baseUrl: process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL
});
export function useObjectData<T>(objectName: string, params?: any) {
const [data, setData] = useState<T[]>([]);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState<Error | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
async function fetchData() {
try {
setLoading(true);
const response = await client.list<T>(objectName, params);
setData(response.items || []);
} catch (err) {
setError(err as Error);
} finally {
setLoading(false);
}
}
fetchData();
}, [objectName, JSON.stringify(params)]);
return { data, loading, error };
}Vue Composable
import { ref, watchEffect } from 'vue';
import { DataApiClient } from '@objectql/sdk';
const client = new DataApiClient({
baseUrl: import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL
});
export function useObjectData<T>(objectName: string, params?: any) {
const data = ref<T[]>([]);
const loading = ref(true);
const error = ref<Error | null>(null);
watchEffect(async () => {
try {
loading.value = true;
const response = await client.list<T>(objectName, params);
data.value = response.items || [];
} catch (err) {
error.value = err as Error;
} finally {
loading.value = false;
}
});
return { data, loading, error };
}🏗️ Architecture
The SDK is designed with the ObjectQL "Trinity" architecture:
- @objectql/types (The Contract) - Pure TypeScript interfaces
- @objectql/sdk (The Client) - HTTP communication layer
- ObjectQL Server (The Backend) - Data processing and storage
