@shieldbow/web (v1)

An all-purpose, easy-to-use client for the league of legends API. This is safe to use on the frontend, requires no API key, but is less powerful than the full library.

This is part of Shieldbow (v3) - a work in progress.

There are no shieldbow-web specific documentation (yet), but is fairly intuitive and similar to shieldbow (v2) on the surface. The documentation will be available upon completion of shieldbow (v3).

To install shieldbow-web, use (depending on your package manager)

npm install @shieldbow/web axios

yarn add @shieldbow/web axios

pnpm add @shieldbow/web axios

NOTE

In @shieldbow/web, the axios package is an optional dependency.

This means that you can use any other HTTP client too! However, if you do not provide a HTTP client, shieldbow will try to default to axios (if it is installed).

If it is not installed, shieldbow will throw an error.

You can provide your own HTTP client by passing it to the Client initialization

Here is an example with the built-in JavaScript fetch API (which is available in the browser)

// Typescript
client.initialize({
	// ... other options,
	fetchMethod: <T>(url: string) => fetch(url).then(res => {
		if (!res.ok) throw new Error(res.statusText);
		if (res.headers.get('content-type')?.includes('application/json')) return res.json() as Promise<T>;
		else return res.text() as unknown as Promise<T>;
	});
})

// Javascript
client.initialize({
	// ... other options,
	fetchMethod: function (url) {
		return fetch(url).then(res => {
			if (!res.ok) throw new Error(res.statusText);
			if (res.headers.get('content-type')?.includes('application/json')) return res.json();
			else return res.text();
		});
	}
})
