Forge Node.JS SDK

Install

npm install forge-nodejs-sdk --save

Usage

// Require sdk main module
const sdk = require("forge-nodejs-sdk");
// Available classes
const ForgeManagementApi = sdk.ForgeManagementApi;
const ForgeNotificationBus = sdk.ForgeNotificationBus;
const DistributionNotificationBus = sdk.DistributionNotificationBus;
const ForgeCommands = sdk.ForgeCommands;
const ForgeDistributionApi = sdk.ForgeDistributionApi;
const ForgeFrontEndApi = sdk.ForgeFrontEndApi;

Consider that most methods returns Es6 Promise, write the correct implementation code to catch errors and handle continuation.

IMPORTANT: If you start receiving notification from ForgeNotificationBus or DistributionNotificationBus it is important to keep just one active connection for your entire application process, because each new connection will create a new service bus subscription.

Compatibility

Version 4.1 of the SDK is compatible only with Forge >= 4.1.0.

How to call a management API

let api = new ForgeManagementApi(config.managementApi);
api.getStories("working")
  .then((stories) => {
    // TODO your code
  });

How to send a command

let api = new ForgeManagementApi(config.managementApi);
let notificationBus = new ForgeNotificationBus(config.serviceBus);
api.autoWaitCommandNotification(notificationBus);

function connect(){
	return notificationBus.startReceiving();
}
function disconnect(){
	return notificationBus.stopReceiving();
}

connect()
.then(() => {
  let cmd = new ForgeCommands.CreateStory({
		translationInfo: {culture:"en-us"}
	});

  return api.post(cmd)
})
.then(disconnect, disconnect);

How to subscribe to distribution notification

let notificationBus = new DistributionNotificationBus(config.serviceBus);

function connect(){
	return notificationBus.startReceiving();
}
function disconnect(){
 	return notificationBus.stopReceiving();
}

connect()
.then(() => {
	notificationBus.on("EntityDistributionNotification", (e) => {
    // TODO your code
	});
});

How to subscribe to forge notification

let notificationBus = new ForgeNotificationBus(config.serviceBus);

function connect(){
	return notificationBus.startReceiving();
}
function disconnect(){
 	return notificationBus.stopReceiving();
}

connect()
.then(() => {
	notificationBus.on("PublishedNotification", (e) => {
    // TODO your code
	});
});

Configuration

Forge node.js SDK expects a configuration defined like this:

{
  "managementApi":{
    "authKey": "f083d945-a644-41f1-9d2f-ff9b7fd5cd01",
    "url": "http://localhost:60191/"
  },
  "serviceBus":{
    "url": "amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672"
  },
  "distributionApi":{
    "url": "http://localhost:60192/"
  },
  "frontEnd":{
    "url": "http://localhost:54787/",
    "authKey": "00174056-D0E4-4983-9202-114F1339F6C9"
  }
}

Samples

See ./sample/ directory.

How to run a sample

npm install # install dependencies
set FORGE_TARGET=yourtarget
# ensure to have a valid configuration file "config.yourtarget.json"
node ./sample/waitForNotifications.js

By default samples load configuration from config.localhost.json. You can read another configuration file by changing the FORGE_TARGET environment variable. For example:

set FORGE_TARGET=webplu-test

will load the configuration file config.webplu-test.json.

How to publish new version of the SDK

git commit -a -m "message"

npm version major|minor|patch
git push
npm publish
