Ionburst Node.js SDK

The Ionburst SDK for Node.js is available now on npm.

Repository​

The source code for the Ionburst Node.js SDK is available here.

NPM​

ionburst-sdk-javascript

Node.js Configuration​

Further configuration for the Ionburst Node.js SDK can be specified in a config.json file.

"Ionburst": {
"Profile": "example_profile",
"IonburstUri": "https://api.example.ionburst.cloud/",
"TraceCredentialsFile": "OFF"
}
  • Profile specifies the configuration to use from the Ionburst credentials file.
  • IonburstUri specifies the Ionburst API endpoint to use.
  • TraceCredentialsFile is a debug setting that can be used to trace how the SDK picks up credentials. This should not be set to ON in production.

Usage​

Creating a Client​

An Ionburst client can be created by passing an Ionburst API URI directly. Doing so will override any configured value:

const Ionburst = require('ionburst-sdk')
var ionburst = Ionburst("https://api.example.ionburst.cloud/");

If the value is defined in configuration then the client creation does not require parameters:

const Ionburst = require('ionburst-sdk')
var ionburst = Ionburst();

Classifications​

A list of available Ionburst classifications can be retrieved like so:

const Ionburst = require('ionburst-sdk')
var ionburst = Ionburst();
