Global Registry Client for Node.js

The library contains the implementation of the Global Registry API Client

Installation

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone git@github.com:CruGlobal/global-registry-nodejs-client.git
cd global-registry-nodejs-client
npm install

Usage

Determine configuration parameters:

baseUrl

Base URL is the URL address of the Global Registry endpoint.

You can provide the address in the client options as baseUrlor through environment variable GLOBAL_REGISTRY_URL.

accessToken

You can provide the access token in the client options as accessToken or through environment variable GLOBAL_REGISTRY_TOKEN

Initialize the client object

const { GRClient } = require('global-registry-nodejs-client')
const options = {baseUrl: ' ... ', accessToken: ' ... '}
const client = new GRClient(options)

Call API

Now you can use specific objects of the client, to access Global Registry resources.

For example, to access EntityType resources:

// GET records
client.EntityType.get( {filters: {name: 'person'}} ).then( result => result.entities.map(e => e.entity_type) )

// GET one record, by ID
client.EntityType.getOne('1200beca-169c-4443-85b3-80611f5c25a5').then( result => result.entity.entity_type )

// POST:
client.EntityType.post({name: '', parent_id: ''}, {full_response: true}).then()

// PUT:
client.EntityType.put(123, {name: '', parent_id: ''}).then()
// or
client.EntityType.put(123, {name: '', parent_id: ''}, {full_response: true}).then()

// DELETE
client.EntityType.delete(123).then()

Mind, that the input data for POST and PUT does not contain wrapping entity type!

So it looks like

  {
    "name": "xx",
    "parent_id": 123
  }

not:

{ "entity_type": 
  {
    "name": "xx",
    "parent_id": 123
  }
} 

however, for now, results are wrapped in pluralized object name, for example:

{ "entity_types": [
  {
    "name": "xx",
    "parent_id": 123
  }
]} 

Supported Global Registry resources:

• Entity
• EntityType
• RelationshipType
• EnumValue
• Measurement
• MeasurementType
• System
