Usage

import { JsonApiClient, createCache } from "@drupal-api-client/json-api-client";
import Jsona from "jsona";

// the baseUrl to fetch data from
const myDrupalUrl = process.env.MY_DRUPAL_SITE || "https://drupal.example.com";

const nodeCache = new NodeCache();

const client = new JsonApiClient(myDrupalUrl, {
  // supply a custom fetch method in order to add  certain headers to each request
  // or any other logic you may need before the fetch call
  customFetch: (input: RequestInfo | URL, init?: RequestInit) => {
    const newHeaders = new Headers(init?.headers);
    newHeaders.set("X-Custom-Header", "my-custom-value");
    const newInit = {
      ...init,
      headers: newHeaders,
    };

    return fetch(input, newInit);
  },
  // the optional cache will cache a request and return the cached data if the request
  // is made again with the same type same data.
  // The cache must implement the `Cache` interface.
  // The `createCache` method provides a default cache that satisfies this interface.
  cache: createCache(),
  // the optional authentication object will be used to authenticate requests.
  // Currently Basic auth is supported.
  authentication: {
    type: "Basic",
    // It is recommended to store sensitive information in environment variables that
    // are not checked in to the source code.
    username: process.env.MY_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.MY_SECRET_PASSWORD,
  },
  // The default locale will be in the URL of each request.
  // example: https://drupal.example.com/en/jsonapi/node/article
  defaultLocale: "en",
  // the optional serializer will be used to serialize and deserialize data.
  serializer: new Jsona(),
  // when set to true, verbose logging will be output to the console,
  // helpful for debugging errors.
  debug: true,
});

try {
  // fetch a single resource
  const article = await client.getResource("node--article", "1234");

  // fetch a collection of nodes
  const articles = await client.getCollection("node--article");
} catch (error) {
  // errors will be bubbled up from the `getCollection` and `getResource` methods.
  // if `debug` is set to true in the options, the error will be logged to the console.
  // You can handle the error here as you see fit.
