halo-sdk-js v1.0.0-beta.2

This getting started guide will guide you on setting up HALO SDK for JavaScript in a few minutes. We will provide a step by step guide to get everything working with the most basic setup, for more detailed information please check the documentation:

Getting started

Step 1: Add the HALO SDK

Install the Halo SDK npm dependency:

npm install --save halo-sdk-js

Step 2: Add HALO configuration

Import config from halo-sdk and apply the basic configuration based on your HALO project. Here you have the minimal configuration you will need.

import { config } from 'halo-sdk-js';

config.setup({
  entrypoint: 'https://halo-db.com/',
  credentials: {
    clientId: 'YOUR_HALO_KEY', // you can obtain this value on the Halo CMS
    clientSecret: 'YOUR_HALO_SECRET', // you can obtain this value on the Halo CMS   
  }
});

Step 3: Request a authToken

To start using the halo-sdk, you first need to receive a authToken.

import { auth } from 'halo-sdk';

const authToken = await auth.getToken();

Step 4: Obtain your HALO content

Use a search query to obtain the content you need, for example specifying the content module name and the item name.

import { content } from 'halo-sdk-js';

const query = new content.QueryBuilder()
    .setModuleName('myModuleName')
    .setSearchValuesQuery('name = Sample')
    .build();

const searchResult = await content.search(query);

Step 5: Start using HALO in your app

Use any of the HALO APIs or plugins without worrying when is it ready, since this is managed internally by the different libraries.
