universe.js

Interacting with Sparkart's Universe API, using SolidusClient! The Universe module inherits from the SolidusClient module.

Usage

Construction

var Universe = require('universe-js');
var universe = new Universe({key: '12345'});
universe.context = {...};

Options:

• environment - The Universe API to use, choices are production and staging. Defaults to production.
• key - The Universe API key to use.

Options to use a custom URL:

• apiURL - The Universe API URL to use.
• key - The Universe API key to use.
• useJWT - Set to false to store the session in a cookie (if apiURL is a subdomain of the current site).

.init

Fetches the current fanclub and logged-in customer. If the instance's context already contains a resources.fanclub key, it is used instead of being fetched from the API. The callback argument is optional.

universe.init(function(err, data) {
  if (err) throw err;
  if (data.customer) {
    // The customer is logged in
  }
});
universe.on('error', function(err) {
  throw err;
});
universe.on('ready', function(data) {
  if (data.customer) {
    // The customer is logged in
  }
});

Callback arguments:

• err - Error that occured while retrieving the resources.
• data - Object containing the current fanclub and customer. customer is available only if the customer is logged in.

Emitted events:

• error - Called with the same err argument as the callback.
• ready - Called with the same data argument as the callback.

.render

Same as solidus_client.render but the resources can be Universe endpoints.

var view = {
  resources: {
    events: '/events',
    other: 'http://www.other.com'
  },
  ...
};
universe.render(view, function(err, html) {
  // ...
});

.get

Fetch a resource. The URL can be a Universe endpoint.

universe.get('/events', function(err, data) {
  // ...
});

.post

Post to a resource. The URL can be a Universe endpoint.

universe.post('/account', {...}, function(err, data) {
  // ...
});

Wordpress Usage

Requires a Unyson Sparkart theme, which holds the API settings as Unyson options (universe_base, universe_key and universe_session).

Wordpress Functions

• Universe\get('/some-endpoint'): Fetch a resource from Universe.
• Universe\fanclub(): Fetches and caches the fanclub. The cache is refreshed after 5 minutes.
• Universe\plans(): Fetches and caches the plans. The cache is refreshed after 5 minutes.
• Universe\forum_url(options = [])
• Universe\ipboard_url(options = [])
• Universe\login_url(options = [])
• Universe\logout_url(options = [])
• Universe\password_reset_url(options = [])
• Universe\redeem_url(options = [])
• Universe\saved_card_url(options = [])
• Universe\legals_privacy_url(options = [])
• Universe\legals_privacy_california_url(options = [])
• Universe\legals_terms_url(options = [])
• Universe\checkout_url(options): Requires the 'plan' => 'Some Plan' option.
• Universe\upgrade_url(options): Requires the 'plan' => 'Some Plan' option.

All the URL functions above support the following options:

• 'scheme' => true|false: Defaults to true, which keeps the https:// part of the URL.
• 'redirect' => '/some-path/': Adds a redirect parameter to the URL. The parameter can also be a full URL.

Wordpress Shortcodes

• universe_forum_url
• universe_ipboard_url
• universe_login_url
• universe_logout_url
• universe_password_reset_url
• universe_redeem_url
• universe_saved_card_url
• universe_legals_privacy_url
• universe_legals_privacy_california_url
• universe_legals_terms_url
• universe_checkout_url: Requires the plan='Some Plan' parameter.
• universe_upgrade_url: Requires the plan='Some Plan' parameter.

All the shortcodes above support the following parameters:

• scheme=true|false: Defaults to false, which removes the https:// part of the URL.
• redirect=/some-path/: Adds a redirect parameter to the URL. The parameter can also be a full URL.

JavaScript Functions

The universejsInstance() function will automatically be made available to the front-end. This function returns a universe.js instance already initialized with the Unyson settings. Usage example:

const universejs = universejsInstance();
// universejs.fanclub is already available
// universejs.plans is already available

// Get the current customer and add it to the instance
universejs.get('/account', function (err, data) {
  if (err) throw err;
  universejs.customer = data.customer;
});

Development
