Corbado Node.js SDK

!Latest Stable Version

The Corbado Node SDK provides convenient access to the Corbado Backend API from applications written in Node.js.


:warning: The Corbado Node.js SDK is commonly referred to as a private client, specifically designed for usage within closed backend applications. This particular SDK should exclusively be utilized in such environments, as it is crucial to ensure that the API secret remains strictly confidential and is never shared.

Usage

To create a Node.js SDK instance you need to provide your Project ID and API secret which can be found at the Developer Panel.

$3

`JavaScript
const Corbado = require('@corbado/node-sdk');

const projectID = process.env.CORBADO_PROJECT_ID;
const apiSecret = process.env.CORBADO_API_SECRET;
const frontendAPI = process.env.CORBADO_FRONTEND_API;
const backendAPI = process.env.CORBADO_BACKEND_API;

const config = new Corbado.Config(projectID, apiSecret, frontendAPI, backendAPI);
const sdk = new Corbado.SDK(config);
`

$3

`JavaScript
import {SDK, Config} from '@corbado/node-sdk';

const projectID = process.env.CORBADO_PROJECT_ID;
const apiSecret = process.env.CORBADO_API_SECRET;
const frontendAPI = process.env.CORBADO_FRONTEND_API;
const backendAPI = process.env.CORBADO_BACKEND_API;

const config = new Config(projectID, apiSecret, frontendAPI, backendAPI);
const sdk = new SDK(config);

The Corbado Node.js SDK throws exceptions for all errors. The following errors are thrown:

- BaseError for failed assertions and configuration errors (client side)
- ServerError for server errors (server side)

If the Backend API returns a HTTP status code other than 200, the Corbado Node.js SDK throws a ServerError. The ServerErrorclass provides convenient methods to access all important data:

`javascript
try {
// Try to get non-existing user with ID 'usr-123456789'
const user = sdk.users().get('usr-123456789');
} catch (error: ServerError) {
// Show HTTP status code (404 in this case)
console.log(error.getHttpStatusCode());

// Show request ID (can be used in developer panel to look up the full request
// and response, see https://app.corbado.com/app/logs/requests)
console.log(error.getRequestID());

// Show full request data
console.log(error.getRequestData());

// Show runtime of request in seconds (server side)
console.log(error.getRuntime());

// Show validation error messages (server side validation in case of HTTP
// status code 400 (Bad Request))
console.log(error.getValidationMessages());

// Show full error data
console.log(error.getError());
}
``
