Initialize:
var Chute = require('chute');
var client = new Chute;
client.set({
token: 'access token',
id: 'app id'
});Chutes allow you to manage sets of photos - you can think of them like albums.
Find:
// all chutes found
client.chutes.all(function(err, chutes){
for(var i = 0; i < chutes.length; i++) {
chute.id;
}
});
// chute with ID=12345 found
client.chutes.find({ id: 12345 }, function(err, chute){
chute.id;
});
// chute with ID=12345 found with contributors list inside
client.chutes.find({ id: 12345, contributors: true }, function(err, chute){
chute.contributors;
});
// chute with ID=12345 found with members list inside
client.chutes.find({ id: 12345, members: true }, function(err, chute){
chute.members;
});
// chute with ID=12345 found with parcels list inside
client.chutes.find({ id: 12345, parcels: true }, function(err, chute){
chute.parcels;
});
// chute with ID=12345 found with everything inside
client.chutes.find({
id: 12345,
contributors: true,
members: true,
parcels: true
}, function(err, chute){
chute.id;
});Create:
// chute created
client.chutes.create({ name: 'Testing' }, function(err, chute){
chute.id;
});Update:
// chute with ID=235345 changed name to 'New name'
client.chutes.update({ id: 235345, name: 'New name' }, function(err, chute){
chute.id;
});Remove:
// chute with ID=12345 removed
client.chutes.remove({ id: 12345 }, function(err){
});Assets represent photos and videos contained within a Chute.
Find:
// asset with ID=12345 found
client.assets.find({ id: 12345 }, function(err, asset){
asset.id;
});
// asset with ID=12345 found with comments inside
client.assets.find({ id: 12345, comments: true }, function(err, asset){
asset.comments;
});Customize:
client.assets.find({ id: 12345 }, function(err, asset){
asset.url // http://media.getchute.com/media/:id
asset.url.width(640) // http://media.getchute.com/media/:id/w/640
asset.url.height(480) // http://media.getchute.com/media/:id/h/480
asset.url.fill(640, 480) // http://media.getchute.com/media/:id/640x480
asset.url.fit(640, 480) // http://media.getchute.com/media/:id/fit/640x480
});Like:
client.assets.heart({ id: 12345 }, function(err, asset){
// +1 to asset with ID=12345
});
client.assets.unheart({ id: 12345 }, function(err, asset){
// -1 to asset with ID=12345
});Remove:
client.assets.remove({ id: 12345 }, function(err){
// asset with ID=12345 removed
});Bundles allow you to create dynamic sets of photos
Find:
// bundle with ID=12345
client.bundles.find({ id: 12345 }, function(err, bundle){
bundle.id;
});Create:
client.bundles.create({
ids: [134234, 534125]
}, function(err, bundle){
// bundle with assets 134234 and 534125 created
});Remove:
client.bundles.remove({ id: 12345 }, function(err){
// bundle with ID=12345 removed
});Chute provides a simple upload flow that provides image processing and more.
// info about files
var files = [{ filename: 'image.jpg', size: 124235, md5: '0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661' }];
// ID of chute which you want upload image to
var chutes = [12423523];
client.uploads.upload({ files: files, chutes: chutes }, function(err, assets){
// assets is an array of asset IDs, which were just uploaded
});Put your app credentials(access token and id) into test and run it with:
mocha --timeout 10000
