AeroFS SDK (Javascript)

An AeroFS Private Cloud API SDK written in javascript. It is based on the API documented at https://developer.aerofs.com/api/en/1.3/

Installation

$ npm install aerofsapi --save

Testing

The API, SDK unit tests test against a local AeroFS Appliance. There are two sets of tests.

Manual

Do not execute the manual tests against a product instance as the tests mutate state.

1. open test/manual/testrunner.html This test runs in-browser. The page executes the tests on startup. The success of each test depends on the configuration you must specify in test/manual/test.js .
2. open test/manual/test_file.html This test runs in browser and tests file upload from an input widget using the HTML5 file api. The test must have an inputted configuration specified in the file itself.

Automatic

1. npm test. Tests upload functionaility and ensures the number of pending requests is accurate.

Quick examples

Each method call returns an es6-compliant promise with a then and catch method.

var api = aero.api;
aero.initialize({hostName : host, oauthToken : oauth});

// List up to 100 users
api.user.list(100)
  .then( (res) => {
    // Output list of users
    console.log(res.data);
  })
  .catch( (res) => {
    // Handle error
    ...
  });

// Create a new file in the root directory
api.file.create('root', 'newFile')
  .then( (res) => {
    console.log(res.data.id);
  })
  .catch( (res) => {
    throw res;
  });

Initialization

Prior to using the methods of the API, you must first initialize with the below parameters.

aero.initialize(config)

aero.initialize
  // URL of the Aerofs Host Appliance
  // Eg. 'https://mycompany.aerofs.com'
  hostUrl : '',
  
  // OAuth token used for authentication
  oauthToken : '',
  
  // Latest supported API Version
  apiVersion : '1.3',
  
  // Whether or not to use browser cached resources
  cache : false,
  
  // A function used to retrieve a new OAuth token if the
  // current one expires. The function returns a promise.
  //
  // @param {axiosResponsebody}
  // @return {promise} 
  expireCb : undefined,
  
  // The maximum chunksize used when uploading file content
  maxChunksize : Math.pow(2,16)
};

Response

The library uses the Axios HTTP Library and returns the an Axios response documented at https://github.com/mzabriskie/axios

The response is the following:

{
    // `data` is the response that was provided by the server
      data: {},

    // `status` is the HTTP status code from the server response
      status: 200,

    // `statusText` is the HTTP status message from the server response
      statusText: 'OK',

    // `headers` the headers that the server responded with
      headers: {},

    // `config` is the config that was provided to `axios` for
    // the request
      config: {}
}
