Key Features

• Works in Node.js or in the browser (available on npm and bower registries)
• Exposes all Playlist API endpoints
• Supports ETag caching
• Paged results
• Node-style callbacks as well as optional Promise support

Setup

Browser

<script src="dist/playlist.js"></script>

To support promises (optional), Playlist.js depends on a promise library. Currently jQuery, AngularJS, or a promise polyfill (like es6-promise) are supported. Remember to include the library before Playlist.js.

Node.js

var Playlist = require('playlist-js');

Usage

First, create a Playlist instance:

var playlist = new Playlist({
 
  // Authentication requires either a username / password combo or an OAuth key
  username: 'user',
  password: 'pass',
 
  // for OAuth
  token: 'token',
 
  // (optional) Switch on whether to use ETags
  // Defaults to true
  useETags: true,
 
  // (optional) switch to use HTTP POST instead of PATCH.
  // Defaults to false.
  usePostInsteadOfPatch: false,
 
  // (optional) API root URL.
  // Defaults to 'https://api.playlist.com'.
  // Most likely you will never change this value.
  rootURL: 'https://api.playlist.com',
 
  // (optional) Sets the Accept header (and thus the API version).
  // Defaults to 'application/vnd.playlist.v1+json'
  // Most likely you will never change this value.
  acceptHeader: 'application/vnd.playlist.v1+json'
 
});
