Coherent Spark Node.js SDK

The Coherent Spark Node.js SDK is designed to elevate the developer experience and provide convenient access to Coherent Spark APIs.

👋 Just a heads-up:

This SDK is supported by the community. If you encounter any bumps while using it, please report them here by creating a new issue.

Installation

npm install @cspark/sdk
# or
yarn add @cspark/sdk

🫣 This package requires Node.js 14.15 or higher. Browser-like environments are also supported.

Usage

To use the SDK, you need a Coherent Spark account that lets you access the following:

User authentication (API key, bearer token or OAuth2.0 client credentials details)
Base URL (including the environment and tenant name)
Spark service URI (to locate a specific resource):
- folder - the folder name (where the service is located)
- service - the service name
- version - the semantic version a.k.a revision number (e.g., 0.4.2)

A folder contains one or more services, and a service can have multiple versions. Technically speaking, when you're operating with a service, you're actually interacting with a specific version of that service (the latest version by default - unless specified otherwise).

Hence, there are various ways to indicate a Spark service URI:

{folder}/{service}[?{version}] - version is optional.
service/{serviceId}
version/{versionId}

IMPORTANT: Avoid using URL-encoded characters in the service URI.

Here's an example of how to execute a Spark service:

import Spark from '@cspark/sdk';

function main() {
  const spark = new Spark({
    env: 'my-env',
    tenant: 'my-tenant',
    apiKey: 'my-api-key',
  });

  spark.services
    .execute('my-folder/my-service', { inputs: { value: 42 } })
    .then((response) => console.log(response.data))
    .catch(console.error);
}

main();

Though the package is designed for Node.js, it can also be used in browser-like environments:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <body>
    <script src="https://www.unpkg.com/@cspark/sdk"></script>
    <script>
      const { SparkClient: Spark } = window['@cspark/sdk'];

      function main(apiKey) {
        const spark = new Spark({
          apiKey,
          env: 'my-env',
          tenant: 'my-tenant',
          allowBrowser: true,
        });

        spark.services
          .execute('my-folder/my-service', { inputs: { value: 42 } })
          .then((response) => console.log(response.data))
          .catch(console.error);
      }

      main(prompt('Provide your API key'));
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Explore the examples and documentation folders to find out more about the SDK's capabilities.

PRO TIP: A service URI locator can be combined with other parameters to locate a specific service (or version of it) when it's not a string. For example, you may execute a public service using an object containing the folder, service, and public properties.

const spark = new Spark({ env: 'my-env', tenant: 'my-tenant', apiKey: 'open' });
const uri = { folder: 'my-folder', service: 'my-service', public: true };
const inputs = { value: 42 };

spark.services
  .execute(uri, { inputs })
  .then((response) => console.log(response.data))
  .catch(console.error);
// The final URI in this case is:
//    'my-tenant/api/v3/public/folders/my-folder/services/my-service/execute'

See the Uri class for more details.

Client Options

As shown in the examples above, the Spark client is your entry point to the SDK. It is quite flexible and can be configured with the following options:

Base URL

baseUrl (default: process.env['CSPARK_BASE_URL']): indicates the base URL of Coherent Spark APIs. It should include the tenant and environment information.

const spark = new Spark({ baseUrl: 'https://excel.my-env.coherent.global/my-tenant' });

Alternatively, a combination of env and tenant options can be used to construct the base URL.

const spark = new Spark({ env: 'my-env', tenant: 'my-tenant' });

Authentication

The SDK supports three types of authentication mechanisms:

apiKey (default: process.env['CSPARK_API_KEY']): indicates the API key (also known as synthetic key), which is sensitive and should be kept secure.

const spark = new Spark({ apiKey: 'my-api-key' });

PRO TIP: The Spark platform supports public APIs that can be accessed without any form of authentication. In that case, you need to set apiKey to open in order to create a Spark client.

token (default: process.env['CSPARK_BEARER_TOKEN']): indicates the bearer token. It can be prefixed with 'Bearer' or not. A bearer token is usually valid for a limited time and should be refreshed periodically.

const spark = new Spark({ token: 'Bearer my-access-token' }); // with prefix
// or
const spark = new Spark({ token: 'my-access-token' }); // without prefix

oauth (default: process.env['CSPARK_CLIENT_ID'] and process.env['CSPARK_CLIENT_SECRET'] or process.env['CSPARK_OAUTH_PATH']): indicates the OAuth2.0 client credentials. You can either provide the client ID and secret directly or provide the file path to the JSON file containing the credentials.

const spark = new Spark({ oauth: { clientId: 'my-client-id', clientSecret: 'my-client-secret' } });
// or
const spark = new Spark({ oauth: 'path/to/oauth/credentials.json' });

Additional Settings

timeout (default: 60000 ms): indicates the maximum amount of time that the client should wait for a response from Spark servers before timing out a request.
maxRetries (default: 2): indicates the maximum number of times that the client will retry a request in case of a temporary failure, such as a unauthorized response or a status code greater than 400.
retryInterval (default: 1 second): indicates the delay between each retry.
allowBrowser (default: false): indicates whether the SDK should be used in browser-like environments -- unless you intend to access public APIs. By default, client-side use of this library is not recommended as it risks exposing your secret API credentials to attackers. Only set this option to true if you understand the risks and have appropriate mitigations in place.
logger (default: LoggerOptions): enables or disables the logger for the SDK.
- If boolean, determines whether or not the SDK should print logs.
- If LogLevel | LogLevel[], the SDK will only print logs that match the specified level or higher.
- If LoggerOptions, the SDK will print messages with the specified options:
  - context (default: CSPARK v{version}): defines the context of the logs (e.g., CSPARK v1.2.3);
  - colorful (default: true): determines whether the logs should be colorful;
  - timestamp (default: true): determines whether the logs should include timestamps;
  - logLevels (default: ['verbose', 'debug', 'log', 'warn', 'error', 'fatal']): determines the log levels to print;
  - logger: a custom logger that implements the LoggerService interface.

const spark = new Spark({ logger: false });
// or
const spark = new Spark({ logger: 'warn' }); // or ['warn', 'error']
// or
const spark = new Spark({ logger: { colorful: false } });

Client Errors

SparkError is the base class for all custom errors thrown by the SDK. There are two types of it:

SparkSdkError: usually thrown when an argument (user entry) fails to comply with the expected format. Because it's a client-side error, it will include in the majority of cases the invalid entry as cause.
SparkApiError: when attempting to communicate with the API, the SDK will wrap any sort of failure (any error during the roundtrip) into SparkApiError, which includes the HTTP status code of the response and the requestId, a unique identifier of the request.

Some of the derived SparkApiError are:

Type	Status	When
`InternetError`	0	no internet access
`BadRequestError`	400	invalid request
`UnauthorizedError`	401	missing or invalid credentials
`ForbiddenError`	403	insufficient permissions
`NotFoundError`	404	resource not found
`ConflictError`	409	resource already exists
`RateLimitError`	429	too many requests
`InternalServerError`	500	server-side error
`ServiceUnavailableError`	503	server is down
`UnknownApiError`	`undefined`	unknown error

API Parity

The SDK aims to provide over time full parity with the Spark APIs. Below is a list of the currently supported APIs.
