Getting Started
1. Create a service
- Signup for an account at skapi.com.
- Log in and create a new service from the
My Servicespage.
2. Initialize the Skapi library
Skapi is compatible with both vanilla HTML and webpack-based projects (ex. Vue, React, Angular... etc).
You need to import the library using the <script> tag or install via npm.
For HTML projects:
For vanilla HTML projects, import Skapi in the script tag, and initialize the library.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/skapi-js@latest/dist/skapi.js"></script>
<script>
const skapi = new Skapi('service_id', 'owner_id');
</script>Be sure to replace 'service_id' and 'owner_id' with the actual values of your service
For more information, check out our documentation.
For SPA projects:
To use Skapi in a SPA projects (such as Vue, React, or Angular), you can install skapi-js via npm.
$ npm i skapi-jsThen, import the library into your main JavaScript file.
// main.js
import { Skapi } from 'skapi-js';
const skapi = new Skapi('service_id', 'owner_id');
// Export the skapi instance, so you can use it in other component files
export { skapi }3. Test your connection
After you initialized the Skapi library, you can test your connection by pinging your request with the mock() method.
Below is an example of how you can use the mock() method in HTML forms.
<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/skapi-js@latest/dist/skapi.js"></script>
<script>
const skapi = new Skapi('service_id', 'owner_id');
</script>
<form onsubmit='skapi.mock(event).then(ping=>alert(ping.msg))'>
<input name='msg' placeholder='Test message'>
<input type='submit' value='Test Connection'>
</form>This will send a request to your Skapi service and ping back the response.
When the request is resolved, the mock() method will return the response data as a Promise object.
The response data will be displayed in an alert box.
