SetUp

Before you call any API you need to initialize your SDK

const {bfast} = require('bfastjs');

BFast.init({
    applicationId: 'your-bfast-project-applicationId', // required if you connect to bfast cloud project [ optional if you have a bfast cloud project]
    projectId: 'your-bfast-project-projectId', // required if you connect to bfast cloud project [ optional if you have a bfast cloud project]
    appPassword: 'your-bfast-project-password', // this is the master-key to override any authorization from bfast cloud, you get it from from bfast cloud project [ optional if you have a bfast cloud project]
    functionsURL: 'a url to your FaaS engine', // if you have a faas engine served in your servers other that bfast cloud
    databaseURL: 'a url to your DaaS engine', // if you have a daas engine served in your servers other than bfast cloud
    cache: {
        collection: 'any name',
        ttlCollection: 'any name',
        enable: false // default is false
    } // this is optional if you need to override a default cache configuration
}, 'your-app-name');

if you don't supply app name DEFAULT_APP name will be used. That all you need to set up a bfast sdk. You will only call this once in your app just before you use any api this sdk.

React | NextJS Support

Create useBFast.js file:

import { useRef, useState, useEffect } from "react";

export default function useBFast() {
  const dbRef = useRef();
  const [isDBLoaded, setIsDBLoaded] = useState(false);
  const { BFast } = dbRef.current || {};

  useEffect(() => {
    dbRef.current = {
      BFast: require("bfastjs").BFast,
    };

    setIsDBLoaded(true);
  }, []);

  return Object.freeze({
    isDBLoaded,
    BFast,
  });
}

Use in app as:

import useBFast from "../PATH_TO/useBFast";

export default function MyComponent(props) {
  const { isDBLoaded, BFast } = useBFast();
  
  useEffect(() => {
    if (isDBLoaded) {
      console.log(BFast);
      // use BFast
      BFast.BFast.init({
        applicationId: "",
        projectId: "",
      });
    }
  }, [isDBLoaded]);

  return (
    <>
      <div>
        BFast App!
      </div>
    </>
  );
}
