TriplyDB javascript client

Documentation

See here for the TriplyDB JavaScript client documentation.

Local development

Prerequisites

• NodeJS and Yarn should be installed
• For unit-testing we recommend having direnv installed.
• Run yarn to install all dependencies

Setting up test environment

To run the tests you need to set the API server URL and a access token in your ./.env variable first: UNITTEST_TOKEN_READ, UNITTEST_TOKEN_WRITE, UNITTEST_TOKEN_ACCOUNT and UNITTEST_API_URL.

Recommendations for these tokens:

• Create a separate user (e.g. <MyUserName>-triplydb-js) the TriplyDB instance you're using, as the unittest will thoroughly removes all datasets from this account before starting the test
• Create the tokens for that one, and use these tokens in ./envrc-private

Running the tests

yarn test.

Building locally

• yarn build transpiles the typescript code, and stores the JS results in the ./lib directory
• yarn dev does the same, but watches for any changes to the typescript files and incrementally transpiles them when needed

To publish a new version:

• Run npm version [patch|minor|major]

yarn's new version plugin does more than we want. We just want to modify the package.json file. I.e., just use npm

- The CI will automatically publish the NPM package

Building the TriplyDB-js binaries

TriplyDB-js is also available as a CLI. This CLI supports uploading files to TriplyDB from the command-line. To build the executable, run yarn run package. Run the stored executable (e.g. ./triplydb-linux) with a --help argument to find the supported command line arguments.
