You can query the result in multiple ways.

const client = new Settings(
  privateKey, // the private key used to sign the request
  service, // this will identify what public key to use to validate the token, the variable called ${service}_JWT will be used. The variable should contain a key called public and the public key as the value.
  url, // the URL of the settings API, leave empty for production
);

// to perform the api call for the data, note this does not return the data but a reference to self. This allows to chain requests if you want.
client.get('[uuid]');

// to get the actual data you can
client.get('[uuid]');
existingSettings = client.data; // the entire response from above
// or 
existingSettings = client.get('[uuid]').data; // the entire response from above


// to search for a setting in our normal json response 
client.get('[uuid]');
existingSettingEmail = client.findSetting('sample-key', 'email'); // true
existingSettingSMS = client.findSetting('sample-key', 'sms'); // false
// or 
existingSettingEmail = client.get('[uuid]').findSetting('sample-key', 'email'); // true
existingSettingSMS = client.findSetting('sample-key', 'sms'); // false


// to search for a specific value in the array you can use a regular expression
client.get('[uuid]');
existingSettings = client.findValue(/^categories\.0\.settings\.0\.options\.1\.medium$/); // sms
// or 
existingSettings = client.get('[uuid]').findValue(/^categories\.0\.settings\.0\.options\.1\.medium$/); // sms


// to search for a neighbor or a specific key, you can use. This basically searches all the mediums for the value email then returns the field next to it called 'value'
client.get('[uuid]');
existingSettings = client.findNeighbor(/^categories\.0\.settings\.0\.options\.[0-9]\.medium$/, "email", "value"); // true
// or 
existingSettings = client.get('[uuid]').findValue(/^categories\.0\.settings\.0\.options\.[0-9]\.medium$/, "email", "value"); // false


// to save data base to the settings
client.save('[uuid]', settingsJson);
