DV-JS-SDK

The Devless JS SDK provides a host of functions for working with data from the Devless backend.

Getting Started

There are a couple of ways to introduce the sdk into your application

1. Using the CDN
2. Downloading from the Github Repo

Once you have the SDK in your application you may now heard over to your Devless instance , then the App Tab , from there you can click on connect to my App and copy the connection details under the web tab . It should look something like below

{ "token":"955c8a0dc37b4a22b5950a9e0e9491d0", "key":"TEMPORAL-KEY", "domain":"http://localhost:9000" }

To create an instance of Devless

var constants = { "token":"955c8a0dc37b4a22b5950a9e0e9491d0", "key":"TEMPORAL-KEY", "domain":"http://localhost:9000" };
var Devless = Devless(constants);  

or

var Devless  = DV(constants); //where DV is an alias for Devless

You can follow up on connection status from the console tab of your browser developer tool.

queryData:

Access or query data from any table from the backend using this function.

params={
    size:2,
    offset:2,
    orderBy:"name",
    where:["id,1","name,edmond"]
}

Devless.queryData("serviceName", "tableName", params, function(response){
  console.log(response)
});

 Eg: Devless.queryData("serviceName", "table", params, function(response){
      console.log(response)
 });

• To query data from the Devless backend you need to specify the service name, table from which to query and then a callback function.
• Also you may pass query parameters. for example determine the number of results sent back with the size parameter, orderBy param to order the results in descending order based on a particular field eg params= {order:"content"}.
• The where parameter gets data where the key id is equal to 2 params= {where:["id,2"]}.

addData:

You may add data to a service table using

Devless.addData("serviceName", "tableName", data,  function(response){
    console.log(response)
})

where data is a JSON object. eg:

data = {
  "title":"the fox",
  "content": "all about the fox"
}
Devless.addData("serviceName", "tableName", data, function(response){console.log(response)})

updateData:

You may update data in a service table using Devless.updateData("serviceName", "tableName", "identifier_type", "identifier", data, callback) where data is a JSON object. eg:

data = {
  "title":"the bear",
  "content": "all about the bear"
}
Devless.updateData("serviceName", "tableName", "id", "1", data, callback)

The functions parameters are pretty obvious the identifier_type refers to the field used to select the field to update and the next param is the id value

delete:

You may delete data using Devless.deleteData(serviceName, table, where_key, where_value, callback)

eg:

Devless.deleteData("serviceName", "table", "id", 1, function(response){console.log(response)})

Remote Precedure Call (rpc) Devless.call(serviceName, remoteProcedure, argsArray,callback); eg:

Devless.call('AvengerService', 'assembleMethod', ["Hulk","Tor","Tony"],function(response){console.log(response)});

token: You will need to set an access token incase you need to login a user . You can set user access token with Devless.setToken(token) . You can have access to the current token with Devless.getToken() or you can pass an optional callback function to process the token. Devless.getToken(callback)

response structure

• All response from the Devless backend have status_code where 700 means internal failure
• A message with verbose response to the event
• An array payload containing returned results and properties
