CodePush Management SDK (Node.js)

A JavaScript library for programmatically managing your CodePush account (e.g. creating apps, promoting releases), which allows authoring Node.js-based build and/or deployment scripts, without needing to shell out to the CLI.

Getting Started

1. Create an access key to authenticate with the CodePush server using the following CodePush CLI command:

   code-push access-key add "DESCRIPTION_OF_THE_KEY"

   If you already created a key that you want to use here, then you can retrieve it by running code-push access-key ls and using the value of the Key column for the key you wish to use.

2. Install the management SDK by running npm install code-push --save

3. Import it using the following statement (using ES6 syntax as applicable):

   var CodePush = require("code-push-v2");    

4. Create an instance of the CodePush class, passing it the access key you created or retrieved in step #1:

   var codePush = new CodePush("YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");

5. Begin automating the management of your account! For more details on what you can do with this codePush object, refer to the API reference section below.

API Reference

The code-push module exports a single class (typically referred to as CodePush), which represents a proxy to the CodePush account management REST API. This class has a single constructor for authenticating with the CodePush service, and a collection of instance methods that correspond to the commands in the management CLI, which allow you to programmatically control every aspect of your CodePush account.

Constructors

• CodePush(accessKey: string) - Creates a new instance of the CodePush management SDK, using the specified access key to authenticated with the server.

Methods

• addAccessKey(description: string): Promise<AccessKey> - Creates a new access key with the specified description (e.g. "VSTS CI").

• addApp(name: string, os: string, platform: string, manuallyProvisionDeployments: boolean = false): Promise<App> - Creates a new CodePush app with the specified name, os, and platform. If the default deployments of "Staging" and "Production" are not desired, pass a value of true for the manuallyProvisionDesployments parameter.

• addCollaborator(appName: string, email: string): Promise<void> - Adds the specified CodePush user as a collaborator to the specified CodePush app.

• addDeployment(appName: string, deploymentName: string): Promise<Deployment> - Creates a new deployment with the specified name, and associated with the specified app.

• clearDeploymentHistory(appName: string, deploymentName: string): Promise<void> - Clears the release history associated with the specified app deployment.

• getAccessKey(accessKey: string): Promise<AccessKey> - Retrieves the metadata about the specific access key.

• getAccessKeys(): Promise<AccessKey[]> - Retrieves the list of access keys associated with your CodePush account.

• getApp(appName: string): Promise<App> - Retrieves the metadata about the specified app.

• getApps(): Promise<App[]> - Retrieves the list of apps associated with your CodePush account.

• getCollaborators(appName: string): Promise<CollaboratorMap> - Retrieves the list of collaborators associated with the specified app.

• getDeployment(appName: string, deploymentName: string): Promise<Deployment> - Retrieves the metadata for the specified app deployment.

• getDeploymentHistory(appName: string, deploymentName: string): Promise<Package[]> - Retrieves the list of releases that have been made to the specified app deployment.

• getDeploymentMetrics(appName: string, deploymentName: string): Promise<DeploymentMetrics> - Retrieves the installation metrics for the specified app deployment.

• getDeployments(appName: string): Promose<Deployment[]> - Retrieves the list of deployments associated with the specified app.

• patchRelease(appName: string, deploymentName: string, label: string, updateMetadata: PackageInfo): Promise<void> - Updates the specified release's metadata with the given information.

• promote(appName: string, sourceDeploymentName: string, destinationDeploymentName: string, updateMetadata: PackageInfo): Promise<Package> - Promotes the latest release from one deployment to another for the specified app and updates the release with the given metadata.

• release(appName: string, deploymentName: string, updateContentsPath: string, targetBinaryVersion: string, updateMetadata: PackageInfo): Promise<Package> - Releases a new update to the specified deployment with the given metadata.

• removeAccessKey(accessKey: string): Promise<void> - Removes the specified access key from your CodePush account.

• removeApp(appName: string): Promise<void> - Deletes the specified CodePush app from your account.

• removeCollaborator(appName: string, email: string): Promise<void> - Removes the specified account as a collaborator from the specified app.

• removeDeployment(appName: string, deploymentName: string): Promise<void> - Removes the specified deployment from the specified app.

• renameApp(oldAppName: string, newAppName: string): Promise<void> - Renames an existing app.

• renameDeployment(appName: string, oldDeploymentName: string, newDeploymentName: string): Promise<void> - Renames an existing deployment within the specified app.

• rollback(appName: string, deploymentName: string, targetRelease?: string): Promise<void> - Rolls back the latest release within the specified deployment. Optionally allows you to target a specific release in the deployment's history, as opposed to rolling to the previous release.

• transferApp(appName: string, email: string): Promise<void> - Transfers the ownership of the specified app to the specified account.

Error Handling

When an error occurs in any of the methods, the promise will be rejected with a CodePushError object with the following properties:

• message: A user-friendly message that describes the error.
• statusCode: An HTTP response code that identifies the category of error:
  • CodePush.ERROR_GATEWAY_TIMEOUT: A network error prevented you from connecting to the CodePush server.
  • CodePush.ERROR_INTERNAL_SERVER: An error occurred internally on the CodePush server.
  • CodePush.ERROR_NOT_FOUND: The resource you are attempting to retrieve does not exist.
  • CodePush.ERROR_CONFLICT: The resource you are attempting to create already exists.
  • CodePush.ERROR_UNAUTHORIZED: The access key you configured is invalid or expired.
