This JavaScript client helps you interact with the Stein API, both in the browser and in Node.js setups.

Installation

HTML

To setup the client on your front-end, add this external script in the <head> of your page.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/stein-js-client"></script>

Node.js

To install the package via NPM, run

npm install stein-js-client

And import it in your files.

const SteinStore = require("stein-js-client");

Initialise - Create a store

A store is a reference to a spreadsheet API.

Each store is initialised by providing the API URL.

const store = new SteinStore(
  "https://api.steinhq.com/v1/storages/5cca0542e52a3545102c1665"
);

You can now interact with the API using the methods on the store.

Read & Search Data

store.read(sheetName, {limit, offset, authentication, search})

Valid Options

Parameter Description Format Requirement
limit Maximum number of rows to be returned Number Optional
offset Number of rows to be skipped (from the start) Number Optional
authentication Basic HTTP Authentication , if required by the API {username, password} Optional
search The column values to search for {column: value, ...} Optional

Return Value

This returns a promise which resolves providing an array of rows, with each row in the format {column: value}. On error, the promise rejects with the message.

const store = new SteinStore(
  "https://api.steinhq.com/v1/storages/5cc158079ec99a2f484dcb40"
);

store
  .read("Sheet1", { limit: 1, offset: 2, search: { author: "Shiven Sinha" } })
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  });

Add Rows

store.append(sheetName, rows, {authentication})

Valid Options

Parameter Description Format Requirement
authentication Basic HTTP Authentication , if required by the API {username, password} Optional

Return Value

This returns a promise which resolves providing the updated range, e.g. { "updatedRange": "Sheet1!A6:D6" }. On error, the promise rejects with the message.

const store = new SteinStore(
  "https://api.steinhq.com/v1/storages/5cc158079ec99a2f484dcb40"
);

store
  .append("Sheet2", [
    {
      title: "Awesome article",
      author: "Me!",
      content: "A brief summary",
      link: "blog.me.com/awesome-article"
    }
  ])
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res);
  });

store.edit(sheetName, {search, set, limit, authentication})

    set: { title: "Currently Unavailable" }
  })
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res);
  });
