Lord Of The Rings SDK

This SDK has been created for a purpose of making a bridge to Lord Of The Rings API. With this SDK you are able to have an access to movies API of LoTR. Simple to install and easy to use.

Requirements

For using all the functionality you will need to register at the API WebSite. After success registration you will have an API key, that will be used for normal work of the SDK.

Installation

First, run the following script in your command line:

npm install trots-vitalii-sdk

SDK Initialization

You have to import SDK to your application and provide following arguments to it:

• apiKey (key that was retrieved from API)
• options (optional parameter to set cache and logger)

Options argument is not a requirement. It has two properties

• cacheTime: Number (time in milliseconds to reset cache)
• loggerEnabled: Boolean (initialize an SDK with logger)

CommonJS

Common JS SDK initialization example with setting cache reset to 10 seconds and enabling logger:

const { LoTRSdk } = require('trots-vitalii-sdk');

const sdk = LoTRSdk('_YourApiKey', { cacheTime: 10000, loggerEnabled: true });

ES Modules

ES Modules SDK initialization example with disabled logger and no cache:

import { LoTRSdk } from 'trots-vitalii-sdk';

const sdk = LoTRSdk('_YourApiKey', { loggerEnabled: false });

Before use

We recommend enabling the cache as the API has a limit on the number of requests (about 1 request per 6 seconds on average). Note that you will need to initialize SDK at the top level, to use the same scope for all users and share cached responses between them.

SDK methods

SDK is created to make developers life easier. However it is just a layer between developers and API.

Methods

Initialized SDK includes block of functions to operate with movies API of LoTR site.

• getAllMovies(params);
• searchMovieByName(name, params);
• getMovie(id);
• getQuotesOfMovie(id, params);

import { LoTR } from 'trots-vitalii-sdk';

const sdk = LoTR(apiKey);
sdk.movies.getAllMovies()
   .then((result) => console.log(result));

Params object

Object called params is an optional object and might consist following properties:

• limit?: number;
• offset?: number;
• page?: number;
• sort?: Array<Array<string, string>>;
• filters?: Array<Array<string, string, string>>;

Recommendations

1. Use offset and page properties separately. It's about a pagination concept, choose one to proceed with.

2. You can use sort property to apply sorting. Not every endpoint supports it, so make sure you are tested such use case in advance. You have to provide an array of arrays to sort, where each nested array has two string elements: field name and direction.

3. You can use filters property to apply filtering. Not every endpoint supports it, so make sure you are tested such use case in advance. You have to provide an array of arrays to filter, where each nested array has three elements: field name, operator and value(s). Value can be string or array of strings.

Sorting example:

import { LoTRSdk } from 'trots-vitalii-sdk';

const sdk = LoTRSdk(apiKey);
const params = { sort: [['name', 'desc']] };
sdk.movies.getAllMovies(params)
   .then((result) => console.log(result));

Filtering example:

import { LoTRSdk } from 'trots-vitalii-sdk';

const sdk = LoTRSdk(apiKey);
const params = { filters: [['name', '=', 'Return']] };
sdk.movies.getAllMovies(params)
   .then((result) => console.log(result));

Error handling

For making a usage of current SDK more slight and safe we are not returning or throwing any errors from inside of it. In the success scenario you will always have a response. Consider that undefined is a response of failure. To understand a reason of it, please initialize SDK with logger enabled.

Development

Testing

Testing is available for development purpose, you may discover test cases in our GitHub Repository

It's developed with a help of Jest testing framework on a unit, integration and acceptance levels.

For this you will need to install development dependencies first:

npm i

Unit tests To run unit tests, execute following script:

npm run test:unit

Integration tests To run integration tests, execute following script:

npm run test:integration

E2E tests To run e2e tests, execute following script:

npm run test:e2e
