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/get-page-template.ts

import type { SiteClient } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk';

export async function getPageTemplate(site: SiteClient, id: string) {
  return site.pageTemplates().getPageTemplate({ id });
}

Call it

A script makes the client once and calls the function:

scripts/get-page-template.ts

import { createSiteClient } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk';
import { getPageTemplate } from '../src/attract/get-page-template.ts';

const site = createSiteClient();
console.log(await getPageTemplate(site, 'clx8m2k4p0000a1b2c3d4e5f6'));

Terminal

node --env-file=.env scripts/get-page-template.ts

A route handler, a job or a queue worker calls it the same way.

Send the template’s draft _id as the list returns it. Anything that is not a template answers 404.

Required parameters

One object, e.g. getPageTemplate({ id }); leave out the optional fields.

string

required

Required. The template’s draft _id (…:draft), as the list returns it, or its aposDocId.

Returns

A PageTemplateDetail. The template. Read its properties (pageTemplateDetail.id): each says whether the site always sends it. The example answer is the site’s wire JSON: one key differs from the property names (_id → id).

string

Always sent. The template page’s draft _id: read it with GET /page-template/{_id}, or create a page with core’s page create and _copyingId (copyingId in the SDKs) set to it.

string

Always sent. Its name.

string

Always sent. The gallery group, e.g. “Story”, “Legal”.

Always sent. Its sections, in order (widget types).

number

Always sent. How many different [Bracketed placeholders] its text carries (fill them with POST /business-placeholders/fill).

string

Always sent. A wireframe preview (SVG).

PageTemplatePage

Always sent. A PageTemplatePage. The template’s page, in full as its draft stands: every field its page type stores, with the sections area holding every widget.

Show PageTemplatePage

string

Always sent. The draft _id (…:draft).

string

Always sent. The id shared by every locale and mode.

string

Always sent. The page title a copy starts with.

string

Always sent. Its page type, e.g. default-page.

string

Always sent. Its slug under /templates.

PageTemplatePageSections

Always sent. A PageTemplatePageSections. The page’s sections area.

Show PageTemplatePageSections

readonly PageTemplateSection[]

Always sent. A list of PageTemplateSection. Its sections, in order.

Show PageTemplateSection

One section of the template: a widget, with its type and the fields that type stores.

string

Always sent. The widget’s id.

string

Always sent. Its widget type, e.g. hero.

string

Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out. Always widget.

Readonly<Record<string, unknown>>

Always there: {} when there are none. Any keys the site sent that aren’t listed above (such as one added after this SDK was built), by their wire names, as sent. Pass this model to a write and they are sent too.

string

Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out.

string

Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out. Always area.

Readonly<Record<string, unknown>>

string

Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out. What the page is for.

Errors

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, 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.

403

The API key lacks the scope this route needs (the message names it) or is used from outside its allowlist; or, on a route that answers 403 to everyone it refuses, the caller may not use it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.

404

Nothing matches the identifier, or the caller may not use this route at all (it is not advertised).Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.

429

The key used up its 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.

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 content:pages:read-templates, or content:pages:all, or content:all, or admin:all, or a signed-in user holding the page-templates:use permission. Other callers get 403.
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.

More examples

import { createSiteClient } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk';

const site = createSiteClient();
const pageTemplateDetail = await site.pageTemplates().findPageTemplate({ id: 'clx8m2k4p0000a1b2c3d4e5f6' }); // PageTemplateDetail | null: null when the site answers 404

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/pageTemplates-getPageTemplate.test.ts

import { test } from 'node:test';
import { fakeSite } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk/testing';
import { getPageTemplate } from '../src/attract/get-page-template.ts';

test('pageTemplates.getPageTemplate', async () => {
  const site = fakeSite();
  await getPageTemplate(site, 'clx8m2k4p0000a1b2c3d4e5f6');
  site.assertCalled('pageTemplates.getPageTemplate', (args) => args.id === 'clx8m2k4p0000a1b2c3d4e5f6');
});

Answer with your own values: fake pageTemplates.getPageTemplate with factories.PageTemplateDetail({...}), the fields you give over a valid example (nested ones too).

tests/pageTemplates-getPageTemplate-answer.test.ts

import assert from 'node:assert/strict';
import { test } from 'node:test';
import { factories, fakeSite } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk/testing';

test('pageTemplates.getPageTemplate answers your values', async () => {
  const site = fakeSite({
    'pageTemplates.getPageTemplate': factories.PageTemplateDetail({ page: { id: 'Your value' } })
  });
  const pageTemplateDetail = await site.pageTemplates().getPageTemplate({ id: 'clx8m2k4p0000a1b2c3d4e5f6' });
  assert.equal(pageTemplateDetail.page.id, 'Your value');
});

List the page templates

site.pageTemplates().listPageTemplates()

GET /page-template/{_id}

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

import { createSiteClient } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk';

const site = createSiteClient();
const pageTemplateDetail = await site.pageTemplates().getPageTemplate({ id: 'clx8m2k4p0000a1b2c3d4e5f6' });
