Client.js

Client.js is a JavaScript library implementing the REST API client for Open Cloud Server.

Core capabilities:

  • Register on the server as a new user.
  • Create new and manage existing user accounts.
  • Upload and download files from the server.
  • Manage existing files, upload new version of files.
  • Convert files from one format to another.
  • Run validation, clash detection, and custom jobs on the server.
  • Create and manage assemblies.
  • Create projects, manage project models and members.
  • Change server settings.

This library is a part of CDE SDK by Open Design Alliance.

For CDN, you can use unpkg or jsDelivr (replace 25.3 with a version you need):

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@inweb/client@25.3/dist/client.js"></script>

The global namespace for Client.js is ODA.Api.

<script>
const client = new ODA.Api.Client({ serverUrl: "https://cloud.opendesign.com/api" });
</script>

Open a terminal in your project folder and run:

npm install @inweb/client

The Client.js package will be downloaded and installed. Then you're ready to import it in your code:

import { Client } from "@inweb/client";
const client = new Client({ serverUrl: "https://cloud.opendesign.com/api" });

Login to the Open Cloud Server and get the file list from the server:

<html>
<body>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@inweb/client@25.3/dist/client.js"></script>
<script>
const client = new ODA.Api.Client({ serverUrl: "https://cloud.opendesign.com/api" });
client
.signInWithEmail("email", "password")
.then(() => client.getFiles())
.then((files) => files.result.map((file) => file.name))
.then((names) => console.log(names));
</script>
</body>
</html>
