npm install @brigadecore/brigade-sdk!build

This is a Brigade 2-compatible SDK for JavaScript and TypeScript.
Great care has been taken to ensure this SDK works within recent versions of
Node as well as modern browsers (latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Edge,
Safari, etc.) _if properly transpiled with webpack or
similar_.
Install into your project using your favorite package manager.
For instance:
``shell`
$ npm install --save @brigadecore/brigade-sdk
Or:
`shell`
$ yarn add @brigadecore/brigade-sdk
__Note: All examples that follow use TypeScript.__
A Brigade API client can be obtained as follows:
`typescript
import { APIClient } from "@brigadecore/brigade-sdk"
// ...
const client = new APIClient(apiAddress, apiToken, opts)
`
In the example above, it is assumed:
* apiAddress points to a Brigade 2 API server. The address must include thehttp://
protocol (i.e. must be prefixed with or https://).apiToken
* is:opts
* A valid API token. It is probably best to use a non-expiring service
account token. Refer to Brigade's own documentation on how to obtain such
a token.
* The empty string is acceptable, but only API operations _not_ requiring
authorization will then be supported by the client.
* , as one might infer, is an optional parameter. If included, it must beallowInsecureConnections
an object, which may have a single field containingtrue
the value or false to indicate whether SSL errors should be toleratedapiAddress
by the client. If not specified, SSL errors will _not_ be tolerated. This
option is only applicable when the value of the argument useshttps://
as the scheme.
The client returned from the call to the new APIClient(...) constructor is
the root in a tree of more specialized clients.
To obtain a client for working with the "core" components of Brigade (Projects,
Events, etc.):
`typescript`
const coreClient = client.core()
The coreClient permits navigation to even more specialized clients, for
example:
`typescript`
const projectsClient = coreClient.projects()
If your program needs to interact with only a specific subset of the Brigade
API, it is possible and encouraged to directly instantiate just the specific
subset of the client tree that is needed.
For instance, this example shows instantiation of _only_ the Events client--
something that might be practical for a program such as a Brigade gateway, whose
only interaction with Brigade involves the creation of new Events:
`typescript
import { core } from "@brigadecore/brigade-sdk"
// ...
const eventsClient = new core.EventsClient(apiAddress, apiToken, opts)
``
The arguments passed above are the same as in our initial example.
Working Node and browser-based examples are available in the
examples directory.
