SDK Design

Overview

The Avi-L-LoTR-SDK (Avi's Lord of the Rings SDK) is a JavaScript library that provides convenient access to the API of "The One API" for retrieving information related to the Lord of the Rings movies, characters, and quotes. This SDK aims to simplify the integration of the API into JavaScript applications by providing a streamlined interface.

Features

• Retrieve a list of movies
• Retrieve details of a specific movie
• Retrieve quotes from a movie or a specific quote
• Retrieve a list of characters
• Retrieve details of a specific character

Installation

To install the Avi-L-LoTR-SDK, you can use npm or yarn:

npm install avi-l-lotr-sdk

or

yarn add avi-l-lotr-sdk

Usage

Initialization

To start using the SDK, you need to initialize it:

• Note you will need an API key. It's proper to keep this safe
• Don't save your API key in your code base.

import AviLoTRSDK from "avi-l-lotr-sdk";

const apiKey = "PUT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"; //Make sure you have one!
const sdk = new AviLoTRSDK(apiKey);

export const fetchMoviesViaSDK = async () => {
  try {
    const movies = await sdk.getMovies();
    console.log("movies", movies);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
};

The SDK provides the following methods:

• getMovies(limit?, offset?, page?): Retrieves a list of movies.
• getMovieById(id: string): Retrieves a specific movie by its ID.
• getMovieQuotes(id: string): Retrieves quotes from a specific movie.
• getQuotes(limit?, offset?, page?): Retrieves a list of quotes.
• getQuoteById(id: string): Retrieves a specific quote by its ID.
• getCharacters(limit?, offset?, page?): Retrieves a list of characters.
• getCharacterById(id: string): Retrieves a specific character by its ID.

Where limit, offset, and page are options, you can use them for pagination

Examples

Get a list of movies

const movies = await sdk.getMovies();
console.log(movies);

Get a movie by ID

const movieId = "12345";
const movie = await sdk.getMovieById(movieId);
console.log(movie);

Get quotes by a movie ID

const movieId = "12345";
const quotes = await sdk.getQuotesByMovieId(movieId);
console.log(quotes);

Get quotes by a quote ID

const quoteId = "54321";
const quote = await sdk.getQuoteById(quoteId);
console.log(quote);

Get a list of characters

const characters = await sdk.getCharacters();
console.log(characters);

Get a Character by ID

const characterId = "67890";
const character = await sdk.getCharacterById(characterId);
console.log(character);

Examples of pagination

const movies = await sdk.getMovies({ limit: 10, offset: 0, page: 1 });
const movie = await sdk.getMovieById("123");
const quotes = await sdk.getQuotes({ limit: 10, offset: 0, page: 1 });
const character = await sdk.getCharacterById("456");
const charaters = await sdk.getCharacters({ limit: 10, offset: 0, page: 1 });

Error Handling

If an error occurs during API requests, the SDK will throw an error with relevant information. It's important to handle these errors gracefully in your application.

Testing

The AviLoTRSDK package includes a test suite using Jest. The tests are automatically executed when you run the following commands:

• npm run build: Builds the SDK and runs the test suite.
• npm publish: Publishes the SDK to the package registry after running the build and tests.

Before running the tests, make sure you have a .env file in the root of your project that contains the following:

API_KEY=your_api_key_here

To run the tests separately, use the following command:

npm test
