API Module

The Appmixer SDK uses this API module internally to connect to the REST API.

Name
Description

api.set(name, value)

Set configuration property.

api.get(name)

Get configuration property.

api.on(event, handler)

Add event listener.

api.off(event, handler)

Remove event listener.

Configuration

Set up a new api instance with config parameters and set/get methods:

const appmixer = new Appmixer(config)

appmixer.api.set(key, value)
appmixer.api.get(key)

config.baseUrl

Type: String | Default: null

Base URL of your Appmixer engine REST API.

config.accessToken

Type: String | Default: null

Access token of an authorized user.

Methods

api.authenticateUser

await appmixer.api.authenticateUser(username, password)

Authenticate a user to Appmixer. Note that this can be a "virtual" user that exists for the sole purpose of associating a real user of your own product to a user in Appmixer. Each user in Appmixer can have a set of flows, can run and stop flows, and can see data going through their flows. The returned promise is either resolved with an object that contains a token (which you need to set with appmixer.set('accessToken', token) to be able to make calls to the API backend. Or the promise is rejected with an error object. If the error object returns a 403 status code (i.e. err.response.status === 403), the user does not exist in Appmixer.

api.signupUser

await appmixer.api.signupUser(username, password)

Create a new user in Appmixer. The returned promise is either resolved with an authentication object (containing the token property) or rejected if the sign-up fails.

api.createFlow

await appmixer.api.createFlow(name, [descriptor], [properties])

appmixer.api.createFlow(name, [descriptor], [properties])Create a new flow in Appmixer. The returned promise resolves to the ID of the newly created flow. The properties object can contain your own custom metadata inside the customFields property. This is especially useful for filtering flows based on your own custom metadata.

api.deleteFlow

await appmixer.api.deleteFlow(flowId)

Delete an existing flow identified by flowId.

api.getFlow

await appmixer.api.getFlow(flowId)

Get flow. The returned promise resolves to an object with the following information: { id, flow, name, stage, btime, mtime, thumbnail }, where flow is the Flow Descriptor, stage is either 'running' or 'stopped', btime is the time the flow was created ("birth" time), mtime is the time the flow was modified and thumbnail contains a thumbnail image (self-contained, in the Data URI format).

api.getFlows

await appmixer.api.getFlows(query)

Get all flows of the user or filter them by query. query is an object with the following properties: limit, offset, pattern (a string to filter flows containing pattern in their names), sort, projection (allows you to exclude properties from the returned flow objects), sharedWithPermissions and filter.Example:

{
  limit: 20,
  offset: 0,
  pattern: "slack",
  projection: "-flow,-thumbnail",
  sort: "mtime:-1",
  sharedWithPermission: "read",
  filter: "userId:423jfdsalfjl4234fdsa"
}

api.getFlowsCount

await appmixer.api.getFlowsCount(query)

Get the number of all flows of the user or filter them by query. query is an object with pattern property that can include a string to filter flows containing a pattern in their names. Example: { "pattern": "dropbox" }.

api.updateFlow

await appmixer.api.updateFlow(flowId, update)

await appmixer.api.startFlow(flowId)

Start a flow.

api.stopFlow

await appmixer.api.stopFlow(flowId)

api.getStoreRecords

await appmixer.api.getStoreRecords(query)
