Tanda client

A typescript async / await client for the Tanda API. In the context of this application it can only be used on the server and will throw errors if used on the client. Tanda documents can be found here - https://my.tanda.co/api/v2/documentation#top

note: first package. Probably broken

Usage

import TandaClient from 'tanda-js';

const tanda = new TandaClient({ 
  type: 'classic',
  token: '1234'
});

This will return a client that you can use to make requests to the tanda API. If you have multiple Tanda organisations you can create multiple clients like so:

const tandaOne = new TandaClient({ 
  type: 'classic',
  token: '1234'
});
const tandaTwo = new TandaClient({
  type: 'classic',
  token: '1234'
});

There are two types of client. The first is the 'classic' using a bearer token for authorisation. The second is 'oauth'.

There is a third argument that can go into the building of a client which is optional headers. If you do not use optional headers the default headers will be used which is:

  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
  }

note oauth is currently not coded.

Methods

The client is split into endpoint blocks such as Staff (Users) which follow the Tanda API documentation found here - https://my.tanda.co/api/v2/documentation

To call a method:

const staff = await tanda.Staff.getStaff();

Params are typed in the following way:

GET Requests

• pathParams: first argument
• queryParams: second argument

PUT/POST Requests

• pathParams: first argument
• body: second argument
• queryParams: third argument

Things to be mindful of

• There may be errors accross the board with the return responses. Tanda API documentation is not always clear on the return types of the responses.
• The error return for an API is a generic JSON object that contains:

  {
    error: boolean;
    message: string;
    code: number;
  }

• Error messages will be returned if the response is not 200 or 201.
