Rent Dynamics JS

A utility for making requests to the Rent Dynamics API from a JavaScript environment.

Requirements

Due to usage of the Web Crypto API a secure context is required for use in a browser environment. Read more about secure contexts here.

Due to usage of node fetch, node v18.20.x or greater is recommended in a node environment.

CDN

Specify the version you want to target.

<script src="https://cdnjs.rentdynamics.com/rentdynamics.<your-version-here>.js"></script>
<script>
  (async () => {
    const options = new RentDynamics.ClientOptions();
    options.baseUrl = RentDynamics.BASE_URL.DEV_RD;
    options.apiKey = '<insert-key-here>';
    options.apiSecretKey = '<insert-secret-key-here>';
    const rdClient = new RentDynamics.Client(options);
    await rdClient.login('<username>', '<password>');
    await rdClient.get('/datas');
  })();
</script>

NPM (Browser)

Install with npm: npm install rentdynamics

import { Client, ClientOptions, BASE_URL } from 'rentdynamics';

const options = new ClientOptions();
options.baseUrl = BASE_URL.DEV_RD;
options.apiKey = '<insert-key-here>';
options.apiSecretKey = '<insert-secret-key-here>';
const rdClient = new Client(options);
await rdClient.login('<username>', '<password>');
const result = await rdClient.get('/datas');

NPM (Node)

Install with npm: npm install rentdynamics

import { Client, ClientOptions, BASE_URL } from 'rentdynamics';

const options = new ClientOptions();
options.baseUrl = BASE_URL.DEV_RD;
options.apiKey = '<insert-key-here>';
options.apiSecretKey = '<insert-secret-key-here>';
options.getEncoder = async () => new (await import('util')).TextEncoder();
options.getCryptographer = async () => (await import('crypto')).subtle;
const rdClient = new Client(options);
await rdClient.login('<username>', '<password>');
const result = await rdClient.get('/datas');

Details

BASE_URL enum

Contains urls for the development and production services. This enum is meant to be passed to ClientOptions baseUrl property.

ClientOptions class

Configuration for the Client and ClientHelpers class. The ClientOptions can be used to control what service and api keys are used. By default, the class will not specify any api keys or auth headers, and the baseUrl will be for the development Rent Dynamics API.

Client class

Client is a wrapper around the browser or node fetch API. Client is a simple utility for performing get, put, post, and delete methods. Client is capable of controlling whether or not requests are authenticated by calling login and logout.

ClientHelpers class

ClientHelpers is consumed by Client. ClientHelpers can be used on it's own to make a custom client for more complex use cases.

ProofOfPossession class

ProofOfPossession contains methods for persisting crypto keys and using those keys to generate proof of possession tokens. Proof of possession is typically only useful from a browser. For that reason node environments are not supported for this.

encodeSegment and decodePayload functions

encodeSegment and decodePayload provide serialization related to JWTs (JSON web tokens). These methods are typically only useful for proof of possession so they also do not support node environments.

Development
