myTomorrows Javascript SDK
This package contains the Javascript client used to communicate with the myTomorrows backend API. The SDK depends on jQuery for networking and utility functions. The package can be loaded as either a frontend plugin or sever-side library via npm, bower, etc.
Current version is: 0.17.4
Overview
The myTomorrows API is provided as a public web service and research tool; no registration is required to use the API, though requests may be rate-limited to prevent abuse.
The API enables users to explore worldwide clinical trial registry databases (such as from clinicaltrials.gov and EudraCT) along with associated medical conditions and inventions, published as schema.org medical objects. Users can additionally manage their myTomorrows platform accounts and track platform content updates.
Please contact the myTomorrows tech team with any questions:
Installation
There are two ways to setup the API client library.
First, by including it as a script source in a page with access to the global jQuery $
function alias, e.g.
<script type='text/javascript' src='js/mytomorrows-javascript-sdk.js'></script>
Second, using the CommonJS style, e.g.
require ('@mytomorrows/javascript-sdk');
In some cases it may be preferable to configure the library as an NPM package, e.g.
"dependencies": {
"mytomorrows-javascript-sdk": "git+https://github.com/myTomorrows/mytomorrows-javascript-sdk.git"
}
NOTE: this package is under development and not yet published to the NPM Registry; to manually install via NPM you can run:
npm install -g @mytomorrows/javascript-sdk
Configuration
The SDK is configured through the setOptions()
method which returns this
as a convenience, e.g.
var MT = $.MyTomorrows.setOptions({
baseUrl: "https://api.mytomorrows.com/api/v1",
debug: false,
authToken: null,
format: "json",
clientPlatform: "js",
statusCodeCallbacks: {
404: function(){ console.log(404) },
500: function(){ console.log(500) }
}
});
- baseUrl: Sets the API server's URI; can be used for switching MyTomorrows environments or API versions
- debug: If true, API request and response output is logged to the console.
- authToken: A user account's API authentication token. If provided, requesets to the API will be authenticated for that user.
-
format: Sets the response serialization format to either
json
orxml
. -
clientPlatform: Sets a custom
X-Client-Platform
HTTP header that identifies the API platform. -
statusCodeCallbacks: Sets a global callback that is executed when the given status code is returned from an API call. Note, only
404
and500
codes are supported; other errors should be handled with the ajax promise.
Authorization
MyTomorrows user accounts can be authorized using the SDK's signIn()
method.
The SDK does not store credentials for reuse across sessions, however the signin response returns a data.token
string that can be used to initialize the SDK for an authenticated user with a token the consumer app has stored, e.g.
$.MyTomorrows.setOptions({token: "1234567890"})
or
require('mytomorrows-javascript-sdk').setOptions({token: "1234567890"})
API Documentation
Internally the SDK uses the jQuery $.ajax request, and all API methods return a deferred jqXHR
object to which completion methods can be bound, e.g.
$.MyTomorrows.API.searchDiseases("cancer")
.done(function(body, textStatus, jqXHR) {
})
.fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {
})
.always(function(dataOrjqXHR, textStatus, jqXHROrerrorThrown) {
});
The API response body contains a JSON envelope standardized in the following object structure, e.g.
{
status: "success",
code: 200,
message: null,
data: {
results: [ ... ],
totalCount: 100
}
}
- data: Required. A JSON object containing the serialized results of the request.
-
status: Required. Can be one of either
success
,failure
, orerror
. - code: Required. The HTTP status code of the response, e.g. 200, 204, 401, 500, etc.
-
message: Optional. If the status is
failure
orerror
, the message contains a string description of what went wrong.
Note, the API may use the full range of HTTP status codes.
