Sprintly JavaScript SDK

Models and Collections for the Sprintly API

Installation

npm (Browserify / Webpack / node / iojs):

npm install --save sprintly-data

UMD bundle (AMD, global variable) is also available via npm install.

Usage

The Client takes and email and API key and returns a client object with a Products Collection and a User Model.

var sprintly = require('sprintly-data');
var client = sprintly.createClient(email, apiKey);
// => {
//     VERSION: 1.1.0,
//     products: [Backbone.Collection],
//     user: [Backbone.Model]
//   }

Alternately, you can provide an OAuth token:

var client = sprintly.createClient({ token: 'xxxAbc123'});

These objects are "empty" when you first create them, so you'll need to call fetch make a request to the API. This works just like Backbone.Collection#fetch.

client.products.fetch();
// => [Promise]

Items are accessed through filter collections attached to the items' product.

var myProduct = clients.products.get(1);
var backlog = myProduct.getItemsByStatus('backlog');

backlog.fetch(function(items) {
  // backlog items loaded
})

A backing collection that uses backbone-supermodel is also available on a product model, as well as the Item supermodel.

myProduct.items
// => [Backbone.Collection]
 
myProduct.ItemModel
// => [Supermodel.Model]

API

sprintly.createClient(email, apiKey)

sprintly.createClient({ token: })

Create an instance of the sprintly-data client. This can be done with your username and API key, or with an OAuth token (NB: you will also need a client server to facilitate OAuth login.)

Products

client.products

Instance of Backbone.Collection containing a user's products. Use fetch() to populate with data.

Items

If you want to consume the full collection, you'll find the collectionConsumer function handy. It returns a promise for when the collection has been fully filled.

var promise = sprintly.collectionConsumer(product.getItemsByStatus('backlog'))
promise.then(function () {
  console.log('all done');
});
promise.progess(function () {
  console.log('first page of results have loaded');
});

product.items

A Backbone Collection that contains all items that have been fetched from the server

product.getItemsByStatus(status)

Creat an empty collection that can retrive items for a status. Returns and instance of Backbone.Collection.

product.createItem(attrs, options)

Create a new item. Return an instance of product.ItemModel.

product.members

A Backbone Collection for all of the users belonging to the product. Use product.members.fetch() to populate with data from the server.

product.tags

A Backbone Collecion with the Tags associated with the product. Use products.tags.fetch() to populated with data from the server.

Development

Prerequisites

• node >= 0.10 and npm

$ npm install

Tests

The full test suite requires a Sprintly account with an api key and the id of product you want to use during testing.

$ export SPRINTLY_EMAIL=example@example.com \
    SPRINTLY_API_KEY=abc123 \
    SPRINTLY_PRODUCT_ID=54321

Then run the test suite with:

$ npm test

Or if you'd like to run tests in the browser, build the test bundle and open the html runner in your favorite browser.

$ npm run build-test
$ open test/index.html

To run a partial test suite (unit tests only), use the gulp task:

$ gulp test

Build Tasks

To build just the standalone browser bundle, run:

$ npm run build

To build a minified standalone browser bundle, run:

$ npm run prepublish

To build the files for the browser based test suite, run:

$ npm run build-test

Or, re-build the test files any time a file changes with:

$ npm run watch-test

Lint files

$ gulp lint

Internal Development Tools

If you need to point to a non-production sprint.ly server you can set the following global variable before loading sprintly-data:

var __sprintly_data_config = { BASE_URL: 'https://sprint.ly/api' };
