node-sdk-core

This project contains the core functionality used by Node SDK's generated by the IBM OpenAPI 3 SDK Generator (openapi-sdkgen). Code generated by openapi-sdkgen will depend on the functionality contained in this project.

Installation

npm install ibm-cloud-sdk-core

Usage

This package exports a single object containing a number of modules as top level properties.

Example:

// do some stuff
// this is TypeScript, since the `openapi-sdkgen` project generates TypeScript
import { BaseService } from 'ibm-cloud-sdk-core';

class YourSDK extends BaseService { ... }

Available Modules

BaseService

This Class is the base class that all generated service-specific classes inherit from. It implements credentials handling and other shared behavior.

IamTokenManagerV1

This Class contains logic for managing an IAM token over its lifetime. Tokens can be requested or set manually. When requested, the token manager will either return the current token, request a new token or refresh the current token if it is expired. If a token is manually set, it must be managed by the user.

isFileParam

This function takes an Object and returns true if the object is a Stream, a Buffer, has a value property, or has a data property that is a file param (checked recursively).

isEmptyObject

This function takes an Object and returns true if it is an empty object.

getContentType

This function attempts to retrieve the content type of the input and returns null if not found.

stripTrailingSlash

This function takes a string and returns an identical string but with a forward slash removed from the end, if present.

getMissingParams

This function takes in a list of required parameters and a parameters object and returns null if all required parameters are present and an Error if any are missing.

isHTML

This function returns true if the given string is HTML.

getFormat

This function takes a parameters object and a list of "formats". It returns the first match from the formats array that is a key in the parameters object, or null if there are no matches.

buildRequestFileObject

This function builds a "form-data" object for each file parameter.

toLowerKeys

This function takes an Object and returns the same object with all of the top-level keys converted to lower case. Note: it does not convert nested keys.

qs

This module includes one function, stringify.

qs.stringify

This function takes an Object containing query parameters and returns a URI-encoded query String. This function is modified for use with Watson - the query parameter watson-token will not be encoded, as the server requires non-encoded tokens for authentication.

contentType

This module includes two functions, fromHeader and fromFilename.

contentType.fromHeader

This function attempts to use the first bytes of a file to match the file contents with the associated mime type. Returns undefined if no matching mime type is found.

contentType.fromFilename

This function attempts to parse the extension from a file and return the mime type associated with the file contents. Returns undefined if no matching mime type is found.

streamToPromise

This function takes a Stream and converts it to a Promise that resolves with the final text, encoded with utf-8.
