the methods you can use :
get(query?: string): Promise<Item[]>
getById(id: string): Promise<Item>

Error handling
When you use a service and that service rejects with an error you get a object of the type BlApiError. The error classes are provided by bl-model and are therefore easy to understand. We have four different types of BlApiErrors that bl-connect services throws, under is a description for all of them:
BlApiLoginRequiredError
Used when the request requires a login and no valid access token is found. The user needs to login to get this document.
BlApiPermissionDeniedError
Used when the request is valid, but the user lacks the given permission for this endpoint.
BlApiNotFoundError
Used when the document asked for is not found.
BlApiError
This is error is thrown if none of the above errors is applicable.
Example of error handling:
myMethod() {
this.itemService.get().then((items: Item[]) => {
//do something
}).catch((apiErr: BlApiError) => {
if (apiErr instanceof BlApiLoginRequiredError) {
// do something with login error
}
if (apiErr instanceof BlApiPermissionDeniedError) {
//do something with permission denied error
}
if (apiErr instanceof BlApiNotFoundError) {
//do something with document not found error
}
if (apiErr instanceof BlApiError) {
// do something with the general error
}
}
}
