npm install --save fms-api-clientThe fms-api-client is a wrapper around the FileMaker Data API. Much ❤️ to FileMaker for their work on the Data API. This client attempts to follow the terminology and conventions used by FileMaker wherever possible. The client uses a lightweight datastore to hold Data API connections. For more information about datastore configuration see the datastore connection section and the marpat project.
Each client committed to the datastore will automatically handle Data API Sessions. If required, clients can also manually open or close their FileMaker sessions by calling either the client.login() method or the client.logout() method. To remove a client from a datastore and log out a session call client.destroy(). For more information on Data API Session handling see the Data API sessions section.
All client methods accept parameters as defined by FileMaker. The client also allows for an expanded parameter syntax designed to make interacting with the client easier. Scripts and portals can be defined as arrays. Find queries can be defined as either an object or an array. For more information on the syntax supported by the client see the parameter syntax section.
In addition to the expanded syntax the client will also automatically parse arrays, objects, and numbers to adhere to the requirements of the Data API. The limit and offset parameters can be either strings or a numbers. The client will also automatically convert limit, find, and offset parameters into their underscored conterparts as needed. Additionally, if a script result is valid JSON it will be automatically parsed for you by the client.
All methods on the client return promises and each method will reject with a message and code upon encountering an error. All messages and codes follow the FileMaker Data API codes where applicable.
The client will queue concurrent requests to the Data API. The client can be configured with a concurrency setting. The client will attempt ensure that each request to the Data API is made with an valid token which is not in use. This behavior prevents request session collisions. For more information on Data API Session handling see the request queue section.
The client also provides utility modules to aid in working with FileMaker Data API Results. The provided utility modules are fieldData, recordId, containerData, and transform. These utilities will accept and return either an object or an array objects. For more information on the utility modules see the utilities section.
The client supports the same parameter syntax as is found in the Data API Documentation. Where appropriate and useful the client also allows additional parameters.
The custom script parameter follows the following syntax:
{
"scripts": [
{
"name": "At Mos Eisley",
"phase": "presort",
"param": "awesome bar"
},
{
"name": "First Shot",
"phase": "prerequest",
"param": "Han"
},
{
"name": "Moof Milker",
"param": "Greedo"
}
]
}Following the Data API, the prerequest phase occurs before executing request and sorting of records, the presort phase after executing request and before sorting records. Not specifying a phase will run the script after the request and sorting are executed.
Note: The FileMaker script and portal syntax will override the alternative scripts and portals parameter syntax.
The custom portals parameter follows the following syntax:
{
"portals": [
{ "name": "planets", "limit": 1, "offset": 1 },
{ "name": "vehicles", "limit": 2 }
]
}If a portals array is not used all portals on a queried layout will be returned.
Note: The FileMaker script and portal syntax will override the alternative scripts and portals parameter syntax.
Arrays and objects are stringified before being inserted into field or portal data.
{
"data": {
"name": "Yoda",
"Vehicles::name": "The Force"
}
}Any property not nested in a portalData property will be moved into the fieldData property.
The client accepts the same sort parameters as the Data API.
{
"sort": [
{ "fieldName": "name", "sortOrder": "ascend" },
{ "fieldName": "modificationTimestamp", "sortOrder": "descend" }
]
}When using the find method a query is required. The query can either be a single json object or an array of json objects.
{
"query": [
{
"name": "Han solo",
"Vehicles::name": "Millenium Falcon"
},
{
"name": "Luke Skywalker",
"Vehicles::name": "X-Wing Starfighter"
},
{
"age": ">10000"
}
]
}The connect method must be called before the FileMaker class is used. The connect method is not currently exposed by fms-api-client, but from the marpat dependency. marpat is a fork of camo. Thanks and love to Scott Robinson for his creation and maintenance of camo.
marpat is designed to allow the use of multiple datastores with the focus on encrypted file storage and project flexibility.

After connecting to a datastore you can import and create clients. A client is created using the create method on the Filemaker class. The FileMaker class accepts an object with the following properties:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| database | String |
The FileMaker database to connect to |
| server | String |
The FileMaker server to use as the host. Note: Must be an http or https Domain. |
| user | String |
The FileMaker user account to be used when authenticating into the Data API |
| password | String |
The FileMaker user account's password. |
| [name] | String |
A name for the client. |
| [usage] | Boolean |
Track Data API usage for this client. Note: Default is true |
| [timeout] | Number |
The default timeout time for requests Note: Default is 0, (no timeout) |
| [concurrency] | Number |
The number of concurrent requests that will be made to FileMaker |
| [proxy] | Object |
settings for a proxy server |
| [agent] | Object |
settings for a custom request agent |
const client = Filemaker.create({
name: process.env.CLIENT_NAME,
database: process.env.DATABASE,
concurrency: 3,
server: process.env.SERVER,
user: process.env.USERNAME,
password: process.env.PASSWORD,
usage: process.env.CLIENT_USAGE_TRACKING
});Excerpt from ./examples/index.js
Note: The server must be an http or https domain.
A client can be used directly after saving it. The client.save() method takes no arguments and will either reject with an error or resolve with a useable client. The client will automatically handle Data API session creation and expiration. Once a client is saved it will be stored on the datastore for reuse later.
return client.save();

client.destroy()method, theFilemaker.deleteOne(query)method or theFilemaker.deleteMany(query)method. Note Only theclient.destroy()method will close a FileMaker session. Any client removed using the theFilemaker.deleteOne(query)method or theFilemaker.deleteMany(query)method will not log out before being destroyed.
A client can be used after it is created and saved or recalled from the datastore. The Filemaker.find(query) or Filemaker.findOne(query) methods can be used to recall clients. The Filemaker.findOne(query) method will return either one client or null. The Filemaker.find(query) will return either an empty array or an array of clients. All public methods on the client return promises.
const createManyRecords = client =>
Promise.all([
client.create('Heroes', { name: 'Anakin Skywalker' }, { merge: true }),
client.create('Heroes', { name: 'Obi-Wan' }, { merge: true }),

]The client will automatically queue a requests to the FileMaker Data API if there are no available sessions to make the request. The client will ensure that a session is not in use or expired before it uses a session token in a request. This functionality is designed to prevent session collisions. The client will open and use a new session up to the configured concurrency limit. The concurrency limit is set when a client is created. By default the concurrency limit is one.
The client will automatically handle creating and closing Data API sessions. If a new session is required the client will authenticate and generate a new session or queue requests if the session limit has been reached.
The Data API session is also monitored, updated, and saved as the client interacts with the Data API. The client will always attempt to reuse a valid token whenever possible.
The client contains two methods related to Data API sessions. These methods are client.login() and client.logout(). The login method is used to start a Data API session and the logout method will end a Data API session.
The client will automatically call the login method if it does not have a valid token. This method returns an object with a token property. This method will also save the token to the client's connection for future use.
client.login()
const login = client =>
client.login().then(result => log('client-login-example', result));Excerpt from ./examples/authentication.examples.js
The logout method is used to end a Data API session. This method will also remove the current client's authentication token. The logout method accepts an optional id parameter. The logout method will use the id parameter as the session to target for ending.
client.logout(id)
const logout = client =>
client
.login()
.then(() => client.logout())
.then(result => log('client-logout-example', result));Excerpt from ./examples/authentication.examples.js
A client can get server product info. The productInfo method will return metadata about the FileMaker server the client is configured to use.

}Using the client you can create filemaker records. To create a record specify the layout to use and the data to insert on creation. The client will automatically convert numbers, arrays, and objects into strings so they can be inserted into a filemaker field. The create method will automatically create a fieldData property and add all data to that property if there is no fieldData property present. The client will preserve the contents of the portalData property.

|---|---|---|
| layout | String |
The layout to use when creating a record. |
| data | Object |
The data to use when creating a record. |

]The transform utility converts Data API response data by converting table::field properties into objects. This utility will traverse the response data converting { table::field : value} properties to { table:{ field : value } }. This utility will also convert portalData into arrays of objects.
The transform utility accepts three option properties. The three option properties are all booleans and true by default. The properties are convert,fieldData,portalData. The convert property toggles the transformation of table::field properties. The fieldData property toggles merging of fieldData to the result. The portalData property toggles merging portalData to the result. Setting any property to false will turn that transformation off.

}The client has the ability to create custom agents and modify requests parameters or use a proxy. Agents, request parameters, and proxies can be configured either when the client is created or when a request is being made.
A client can have a custom Agent. Using a custom request agent will allow you to configure an agent designed for your specific needs. A request agent can be configured to not reject unauthorized request such as those with invalid SSLs, keep the connection alive, or limit the number of sockets to a host. There is no need to create an agent unless theses options are needed.
Note If you are using a custom agent you are responsible for destroying that agent with client.destroy once the agent is no longer used.
All client methods except client.login() and client.logout() accept request parameters. These parameters are request.proxy and request.timeout, request.agent. These properties will apply only to the current request.
The client can be configured to use a proxy. The proxy can be configured either for every request by specifying the proxy during the creation of the client, or just for a particular request by specifying the proxy in the request parameters.
