Verstka JavaScript SDK

Installation

npm i verstka-js-sdk

Usage

Creating SDK instance

SDK instance is created once. It allows to open and close multiple editor windows. To create the instance you will need:

apiKey – your API-key
imagesOrigin – the domain from which your images are served
dev — ability to connect to the our dev server, false bu default

You can also set verbose: true for explicit logs, which is false by default.

import VerstkaSDK from 'verstka-js-sdk'

const sdk = new VerstkaSDK({
  apiKey: 'fd07ff6ed5954c9675578c96b4cdf39d',
  imagesOrigin: 'https://domain.com',
  verbose: true,
  dev: true,
})

Opening editor window

Call openEditor to open editor window:

userId – ID of current user. Verstka doesn't use this ID. You can "hardcode" it if you don't need it either.
materialID – ID of current article. Verstka uses it for version history.
target – allows you to edit desktop or mobile (or whatever) versions at the same time. It's desktop by default.
html – artcile HTML. It's supposed to be empty when new article is created. When the article is edited, it contains the HTML of the previous version.
customFields – JSON with arbitrary data. You will get back when the article is saved. Empty by default.

const session = await sdk.openEditor({
  userId: '42',
  materialId: '69',
  target: 'desktop',
  html: '',
  customFields: {},
})

Combination of userId, materialID and target forms a unique key. If session with this key already exists then openEditor will return it.

Closing editor window

Open window can be closed by calling close method:

session.close()

Editor window can also be closed manually by the user. In both cases event closed will be emitted.

Saving article

Created session inherits EventEmitter interface. Event saved is emmited everytime the user saves the article in the editor window:

/**
 * Contains your code which handles article saving
 * 
 * @param {Object} data
 * @param {String} data.html – article HTML
 * @param {Blob[]} data.images – list of images as Blobs
 * @param {Object} data.customFields
 * @param {String} data.userId
 * @param {String} data.materialId
 * @param {String} data.target
 * 
 * @returns {void}
 */
function onSave({ html, images, customFields, userId, materialId, target }) {
  //...
}

session.on('saved', onSave)

Event closed is emitted whenever editor window is closed:

/**
 * Contains your code which handles article closing
 * 
 * @param {Object} data
 * @param {String} data.userId
 * @param {String} data.materialId
 * @param {String} data.target
 * 
 * @returns {void}
 */
function onClose({ html, images, customFields, userId, materialId, target }) {
  //...
}

session.on('closed', onClose)
