grifpkg's JavaScript wrapper

Welcome to grif's javascript wrapper, built with js, compatible with browser src and module imports; works both on the browser context and on the node context. If you encounter any issues or want to suggest features, please, create an issue.

Importing

NodeJS-based projects

Install with npm npm install @grifpkg/install, then:

Import using ES5 require

const Grif = require("@grifpkg/client")
/*
  Resource and Release classes available through:
Grif.Resource, Grif.Release
*/

Import using ES6 import

import {Grif, Release, Resource} from ("@grifpkg/client")

Browser-based projects

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@grifpkg/client/target/grifpkg.min.js"></script>
<script>
// only the Grif class is available
const grif = new Grif()
</script>

Usage

Please, avoid querying whenever it's possible, try fetching and caching resources and releases as much as possible; the REST API has an usage limit; if your project isn't aiming to create alternative clients for grifpkg but getting resource and release information, these projects are best suited for you:

• https://spiget.org/documentation/
• https://github.com/SpigotMC/XenforoResourceManagerAPI

For the folling examples, I'll be using ES6, using import, were the file accessing grifpkg-js should have the wrapper imported with import {Grif, Release, Resource} from ("@grifpkg/client") and the top of the file.

Querying

new Grif().queryResource("resourceName", [optional_resourceAuthorName], [optional, service id; 0=spigot]).then((resources)=>{
if(resources.length<=0) return;
  console.log("top match", resources[0])
})

Resource fetching

Resource.fromId("grifResourceId").then((resource)=>{
 console.log(resource)
})

Release fetching

Release.fromId("releaseId").then((release)=>{
 console.log(release)
})

If you don't know the release id, this endpoint it's flexible and supports name-based querying if you know the parent resource

Release.fromId(null, resource, [optional_versionTag_nullOrUndefined_for_latest]).then((release)=>{
 console.log(release)
})

You can access the same function from the Resource context by using

Resource.getRelease(optional_versionTag_nullOrUndefined_for_latest).then((release)=>{
    console.log(release)
})

You can also list every single release for a Resource

Resource.getReleases().then((releases)=>{
  console.log(releases)
})

Release downloading

Release.download(optional_username, optional_password).then((downloadableRelease)=>{
  console.log("download using", downloadableRelease.url)
})

Logging in

Grif will automatically login if a session is cached on the local storage, so you only need to run Grif.login() once as long as the hostname doesn't change and you don't pass false as a login argument.

GitHub oAuth (browser-based only)

Login by using GitHub's oAuth popup, must be triggered by a click in order to prevent popup blocking. You can pass false as a login argument (Grif.login(false)) for prevent session saving with localStorage; default is true.

Grif.login().then((session)=>{
  console.log("logged in" session),
})

Existing hash

You can find a session hash by logging in using a popup, exploring the localstorage and getting the hash by base64-decoding it, or access https://api.grifpkg.com/rest/1/login/, then open the console on the resulting page after logging in with GitHub; you'll get an alert since you opened the URL directly and the parent context isn't available; the hash is available under data.session.hash.

const grif = new Grif("sessionHash")

Logging out

const grif = new Grif()
grif.logout()

Suggestions

You can suggest download URLs for any suggestable object, such as Resource or Release. Resource suggestions are useful if all releases have a suggested URL but you still want a default download for new releases.

• Variables - {{jsonResult}}: available only if you has an intermediate JSON request - {{resourceId}}: external resource id - {{resourceName}}: resource name - {{releaseVersion}}: version tag - {{releaseId}}: external release id - {{releaseCreation}}: creation unix time

The variables may be used on the url schema and on the jsonURL

// no JSON
object.suggest("urlSchema")

// JSON (adds {{jsonResult}} variable); see https://jsonpath.com/
object.suggest("urlSchema", "jsonURL", "jsonPath")
