Quick Start

import { Client } from 'project-name';
 
const client = new Client({
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com'
});

API Reference

client.get<T>(path: string, options?: RequestOptions): Promise<T>

Fetches data from the API.

Parameters:

  • path - The API endpoint path
  • options - Optional request configuration

Returns: Promise<T> - The response data

Example:

interface User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
}
 
const user = await client.get<User>('/users/123');
console.log(user.name);

Error Handling

The client throws typed errors:

try {
  await client.get('/protected');
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof AuthError) {
    console.log('Authentication failed');
  } else if (error instanceof NotFoundError) {
    console.log('Resource not found');
  }
}

Usage Examples

Basic CRUD Operations

// Create
const newUser = await client.post('/users', {
  name: 'John Doe',
  email: 'john@example.com'
});
 
// Read
const user = await client.get(`/users/${newUser.id}`);
 
// Update
await client.put(`/users/${user.id}`, {
  name: 'Jane Doe'
});
 
// Delete
await client.delete(`/users/${user.id}`);

With TypeScript Generics

interface CreateUserRequest {
  name: string;
  email: string;
}
 
interface User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  createdAt: string;
}
 
const user = await client.post<User, CreateUserRequest>('/users', {
  name: 'John',
  email: 'john@example.com'
});

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Error: “API key not found”

Make sure you’ve set the API_KEY environment variable:

export API_KEY=your_key_here

Error: “Connection refused”

Check that the API server is running and accessible at the configured URL.

Error: “Rate limit exceeded”

You’ve hit the rate limit. Wait for the Retry-After header value before retrying.
