Tags Microservice Client SDK for Node.js

This is a Node.js client SDK for service-tags microservice. It provides an easy to use abstraction over communication protocols:

• HTTP client
• Direct client for monolytic deployments
• Null client to be used in testing

• API Version 1

Install

Add dependency to the client SDK into package.json file of your project

{
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        ....
        "client-tags-node": "^1.0.*",
        ...
    }
}

Then install the dependency using npm tool

# Install new dependencies
npm install

# Update already installed dependencies
npm update

Use

Inside your code get the reference to the client SDK

let sdk = new require('client-tags-node');

Define client configuration parameters that match configuration of the microservice external API

// Client configuration
let config = {
    connection: {
        protocol: 'http',
        host: 'localhost', 
        port: 8080
    }
};

Instantiate the client and open connection to the microservice

// Create the client instance
let client = sdk.TagsHttpClientV1(config);

// Connect to the microservice
try {
    await client.open(null);
    // Work with the microservice
    ...
} catch(err) {
    console.error('Connection to the microservice failed');
    console.error(err);
}

Now the client is ready to perform operations

// Record tags for a user
let partyTags = await client.recordTags(
    null,
    userId,
    ['draft', 'important']
);

// Get the list of user tags
let partyTags = await client.getTags(
    null,
    userId
);
