Skip to main content

In your app

A function makes the call on the client it is given, so your code passes the real one and a test passes a fake.

Add the function

src/attract/list-global-content.ts

Call it

A script makes the client once and calls the function:
scripts/list-global-content.ts
Terminal
A route handler, a job or a queue worker calls it the same way.
One object, e.g. listGlobalContent({ aposMode }); leave out the optional fields.
AposMode | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "published". published (the default) or draft. Drafts need a credential that may see them: an API key with the type’s write scope (content:<type>:write), or a signed-in editor. The public and a key with only the read scope get 403. One of draft, published.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. The locale to read or write, e.g. en (default: the site’s default locale).
number | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses 1. Page number for pagination (1-based)
number | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Documents per page. Each content type has its own default (core’s is 50; a type may set another). There is no upper limit: a large value answers the whole list at once, which is slow on a big one. At least 1.
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Matches documents by their text. Ignored for the public and API keys on a type whose public fields leave some out (a search would match the hidden ones).
boolean | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses false. true: each area’s widgets come back rendered as HTML (_rendered), beside their data.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Only the document with exactly this slug: a list of one, or an empty list when none has it. Use it to find a document by the name in its URL.
A GlobalList. A page of Global documents. Read its properties (globalList.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, _logo → logo, _logoLight → logoLight …).
readonly GlobalContent[]
Always sent. A list of GlobalContent. This page’s documents; empty past the last page.
number
Always sent. Pages in the whole list (0 when it is empty).
number
Always sent. This page, from 1.
Nothing to catch: the SDK retries what is safe, and throws the rest as the classes below; catch only what you want to react to (see Errors and testing).
401
The API key is missing or refused (malformed, revoked, expired), or a signature its signing mode needs is missing or stale.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
404
Nothing matches, or the caller may not see it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
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.
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.
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).
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.
setup
sites.forSite('acme') named a slug your sites (createSiteClients()) don’t have.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message, slug.
setup
The client’s settings are wrong: no FETCHSKI_ATTRACT_URL (or baseUrl), or a malformed API key.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message (what to fix).

Behavior

  • Access: an API key with global:read (or a master above it: global:all, admin:all) reads the published documents; drafts (aposMode=draft) need global:write (or a master above it). A signed-in person may call it as far as their own permissions allow; anyone else gets 404.
  • Rate limit: the key’s own reads-per-minute limit, set when the key is created (default 600); over it, 429 with Retry-After. The client waits and retries for you; you see RateLimited only if that runs out.
  • 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) on the client for longer.
  • Paging: one page per call. To walk them all, use listGlobalContentAll() (see More examples): it asks for the next page as you iterate, and stops after page pages.

More examples

listGlobalContentAll() takes listGlobalContent()’s arguments except page. listGlobalContentPick() takes the same arguments except page, after the fields to answer: each row is the document’s id and those fields.

Test it

It calls the function above with a fake client: the fake answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no settings or key are needed. Run it with node --test.
tests/globalContent-listGlobalContent.test.ts
Answer with your own values: fake globalContent.listGlobalContent with a sequence() of pages, each factories.GlobalList({...}), and walk listGlobalContentAll().
tests/globalContent-listGlobalContent-answer.test.ts
To fake listGlobalContentAll(), answer globalContent.listGlobalContent (the walk calls it page by page): a sequence() of answers for several pages.

Create a global document

site.globalContent().createGlobal()

Archive global documents

site.globalContent().archiveGlobals()

Copy global documents to another locale

site.globalContent().localizeGlobals()

Publish global documents

site.globalContent().publishGlobals()

Restore global documents

site.globalContent().restoreGlobals()

Get a global document

site.globalContent().getGlobal()

GET /@apostrophecms/global

The endpoint this calls, in the API reference: the HTTP request and answer, and every rule the site checks.
