backend-node

Node client library for StaticBackend's API.

Install

$> npm i @staticbackend/backend

Usage

You'll need a public key to use this library. Please refer to our getting started guide to help you get up and running.

Importing and creating an instance

import { Backend } from "@staticbackend/backend";
const bkn = new Backend("your-pub-key", "region");

Only the na1 region is supported. Your public key will be sent after you create your account.

Format

The function calls, say to create a database document (all every other functions) return the following:

{ok: boolean, content: any}

For successful requests the ok field will be true and the content filed will be what you expect from a successful call.

If an error occurs, the ok field will be false and the content field will contains the error message.

Users registration and login

const result = bkn.login("a@newuser.com", "pass123456");
if (result.ok) {
	console.log(result.content);
}

For login and register the content field contains the user's session token.

You'll need this token for all your interaction with the backend.
