# List images

> The images in the library, most recently updated first, a page at a time.

## In your app

A controller answers a route on your app: it calls `listMediaImages()` and returns the answer.

**1. Add the controller**

```ts app/controllers/list_media_images_controller.ts theme={"dark"}
import { inject } from '@adonisjs/core'
import { SiteClient } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk'

@inject()
export default class ListMediaImagesController {
  constructor(protected site: SiteClient) {}

  async handle() {
    return this.site.fetchskiMedia().listMediaImages()
  }
}
```

**2. Add the route**

```ts start/routes.ts theme={"dark"}
import router from '@adonisjs/core/services/router'

const ListMediaImagesController = () => import('#controllers/list_media_images_controller')

router.get('/fetchski-media/images', [ListMediaImagesController])
```

**3. Call it**

```bash Terminal theme={"dark"}
curl http://localhost:3333/fetchski-media/images
```

With `node ace serve` running, it prints its answer as JSON.

Use an image’s slug to reference it in an MDX blog import.

> [accordion] Optional parameters
>
> One object, e.g. `listMediaImages({ q })`; leave out the optional fields.
>
> **q** `string | null | undefined`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out (or pass `null`) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Words matched against each image’s title, alt text and other text: any of the words matches, best match first.
>
> **folder** `string | null | undefined`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out (or pass `null`) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. A media folder ID: only what is in that folder.
>
> **includeSubfolders** `boolean | null | undefined`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out and the site uses `true`. With `folder`: include its subfolders too.
>
> **limit** `number | null | undefined`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out and the site uses `25`. Items per page: 1 to 100, 25 when left out (a value outside is brought into that range, never refused).
>
> **page** `number | null | undefined`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out and the site uses `1`. Page number, from 1.

> [accordion] Returns
>
> A `ListMediaImagesResponse`. A page of images. Read its properties (`listMediaImages.results`): each says whether the site always sends it. The example answer is the site’s wire JSON: some keys differ from the property names (`_id` → `id`, `two-thirds` → `twoThirds`, `one-half` → `oneHalf` …).
>
> **results** `readonly MediaImage[]`
>
> **Always sent.** A list of `MediaImage`.
>
> **MediaImage**
>
> One image from the Images library.
>
> **id** `string | null`
>
> **Always sent, can be `null`.** The image’s document ID (aposDocId).
>
> **slug** `string | null`
>
> **Always sent, can be `null`.** Reference an image in an MDX import by it.
>
> **title** `string | null`
>
> **Always sent, can be `null`.** Its title.
>
> **alt** `string`
>
> **Always sent.** Alt text; empty when none is set.
>
> **folderPath** `string | null`
>
> **Always sent, can be `null`.** The media folder it sits in.
>
> **width** `number | null`
>
> **Always sent, can be `null`.** Pixels.
>
> **height** `number | null`
>
> **Always sent, can be `null`.** Pixels.
>
> **extension** `string | null`
>
> **Always sent, can be `null`.** File extension, e.g. `jpg`.
>
> **bytes** `number | null`
>
> **Always sent, can be `null`.** Size of the original file.
>
> **urls** `MediaImageUrls`
>
> **Always sent.** A `MediaImageUrls`. A URL per rendered size.
>
> **MediaImageUrls**
>
> **original** `string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `undefined` when the site leaves it out. Format: an absolute URL.
>
> **max** `string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `undefined` when the site leaves it out. Format: an absolute URL.

> [accordion] Errors
>
> Nothing to catch: the SDK retries what is safe, and throws the rest as the classes below. Your exception handler turns them into your app’s own answers, once for every call (see [Map SDK errors to responses](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/adonisjs/calling-the-api.md#map-sdk-errors-to-responses)); catch only what you want to react to here.
>
> **AuthenticationFailed** `401`
>
> The API key is missing, malformed, unknown, disabled, expired or archived, or a request its signing mode requires to be signed is not.
>
> **Retried first:** No. **Read:** `siteMessage`, `errorName`, `data`.
>
> **Forbidden** `403`
>
> The API key lacks the scope this route needs, is used from outside its allowlist, or the caller is anonymous.
>
> **Retried first:** No. **Read:** `siteMessage`, `errorName`, `data`.
>
> **RateLimited** `429`
>
> The key used up its reads-per-minute limit. Still, after the client’s own waits and retries.
>
> **Retried first:** Yes: the client waits `Retry-After` (1 s when absent; over 60 s it gives up at once) and retries, up to `retries` times (2 by default). **Read:** `retryAfter` (seconds, or null), `siteMessage`.
>
> **SiteError** `5xx`
>
> The site failed (or something in front of it did). Its logs say why.
>
> **Retried first:** A 502, 503 or 504: yes, after 0.5 s then 1 s. A 500: no. **Read:** `siteMessage`, `errorName`, `data`.
>
> **SiteUnreachable** `no answer`
>
> No answer: DNS, a refused connection, TLS, or the timeout (15 s per attempt by default).
>
> **Retried first:** Yes, after 0.5 s then 1 s. **Read:** `reason`, `neverConnected`.
>
> **RequestNotSent** `not sent`
>
> The client refused to send it (e.g. a path segment of `..`); the site never saw it.
>
> **Retried first:** No. **Read:** `reason` (what to change).
>
> **SiteRequestFailed** `any other`
>
> Any other status, or a success whose JSON doesn’t match this SDK version’s types (update the SDK).
>
> **Retried first:** No. **Read:** `reason`, `status`.
>
> **UnknownSite** `setup`
>
> `sites.forSite('acme')` named a slug `config/attract.ts` doesn’t list (with the keys in the database: no row in `attract_api_keys`).
>
> **Retried first:** No: nothing was sent. **Read:** `message`, `slug`.
>
> **SiteConfigurationError** `setup`
>
> The site’s entry is wrong: a malformed `baseUrl` or key, a key filed under another slug, or no default site. `node ace attract:check` names the fix.
>
> **Retried first:** No: nothing was sent. **Read:** `message` (what to fix).

## Behavior

* **Access:** an API key with `images:read` — or `media:all`, or `admin:all` — or any signed-in CMS user (who sees only what they may view). Anonymous callers get 403.
* **Retries:** a read is safe to repeat: the client retries it on no answer, a 502/503/504 and a 429.
* **Timeout:** 15 s per attempt by default; raise `timeout` (milliseconds) in `config/attract.ts` for longer.
* **Paging:** one page per call. To walk them all, use `listMediaImagesAll()` (see More examples): it asks for the next page as you iterate, and stops once `page` × `perPage` reaches `total`.

## More examples

`listMediaImagesAll()` takes `listMediaImages()`’s arguments except `page`.

```ts Every page wrap theme={"dark"}
import app from '@adonisjs/core/services/app'
import { SiteClient } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk'

const site = await app.container.make(SiteClient)
for await (const mediaImage of site.fetchskiMedia().listMediaImagesAll()) {
  console.log(mediaImage) // the next page is fetched as you iterate
}
```

## Test it

It calls the controller above with the SDK faked: `fakeAttract()` puts the fake in the container for this one test, and it answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no key is read. Save it as `tests/unit/fetchski_media_list_media_images.spec.ts`, then run your tests:

```ts tests/unit/fetchski_media_list_media_images.spec.ts theme={"dark"}
import { test } from '@japa/runner'
import app from '@adonisjs/core/services/app'
import { fakeAttract } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-adonis/testing'
import ListMediaImagesController from '#controllers/list_media_images_controller'

test('fetchskiMedia.listMediaImages', async () => {
  const site = fakeAttract()

  const controller = await app.container.make(ListMediaImagesController)
  await controller.handle()

  site.assertCalled('fetchskiMedia.listMediaImages')
})
```

```bash Terminal theme={"dark"}
node ace test
```

**Answer with your own values:** fake `fetchskiMedia.listMediaImages` with a `sequence()` of pages, each `factories.ListMediaImagesResponse({...})`, and walk `listMediaImagesAll()`.

```ts tests/unit/fetchski_media_list_media_images_answers.spec.ts theme={"dark"}
import { test } from '@japa/runner'
import { factories, fakeAttract, sequence } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-adonis/testing'

test('fetchskiMedia.listMediaImages answers your values', async ({ assert }) => {
  const site = fakeAttract({
    'fetchskiMedia.listMediaImages': sequence(
      factories.ListMediaImagesResponse({ page: 1, perPage: 1, total: 2 }),
      factories.ListMediaImagesResponse({ page: 2, perPage: 1, total: 2 })
    ),
  })

  const walked: unknown[] = []
  for await (const mediaImage of site.fetchskiMedia().listMediaImagesAll()) {
    walked.push(mediaImage)
  }
  assert.lengthOf(walked, 2)
})
```

To fake `listMediaImagesAll()`, answer `fetchskiMedia.listMediaImages` (the walk calls it page by page): a `sequence()` of answers for several pages.
