Using the CoCore API from Node.js
To assist Node.js developers in integrating with the CoCore GraphQL API, here's a comprehensive guide utilizing the graphql-request library.
1. Install the graphql-request Library
Begin by installing the graphql-request library along with the graphql package:
npm install graphql-request graphql2. Initialize the GraphQL Client
Create an instance of the GraphQLClient pointing to your GraphQL endpoint and include the API key for authentication:
const { GraphQLClient } = require('graphql-request');
const endpoint = '$MY_COCORE_URL/graphql';
const client = new GraphQLClient(endpoint, {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
},
});3. Define GraphQL Queries
Construct your GraphQL queries or mutations. Here's an example of a query to fetch job information:
const query = `
query GetJob($id: ID!) {
job(id: $id) {
id
name
quantity
}
}
`;4. Execute Queries and Handle Responses
Execute the query and process the response accordingly:
async function fetchJob(jobId) {
const variables = { id: jobId };
try {
const response = await client.request(query, variables);
const job = response.data.job;
console.log(`Name: ${job.name}, Quantity: ${job.quantity}`);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching job:', error);
}
}
// Call the function with the desired job ID
fetchJob('job-id');5. Error Handling
The above example includes basic error handling by catching exceptions during the request. Ensure you handle exceptions and errors appropriately in your production code.
6. Explore API Documentation
For detailed information on available queries, mutations, and schema definitions, refer to the CoCore API documentation at https://docs.wearecococo.com.
By following these steps, Node.js developers can effectively integrate with the CoCore GraphQL API using the graphql-request library.
