Getting Started

Getting an Artifact_DEPRECATED from the Index

To get an Artifact_DEPRECATED back from the Index, we will first need to spawn a new Index object. This Index object is what we will interact with in order to get Artifacts back from the Index. After you have created a new Index you can lookup a specific Artifact_DEPRECATED using the .getArtifact(artifact_id) method. The getArtifact method returns a Promise that will resolve to the requested Artifact_DEPRECATED, or will reject if there was an error.

import { Index } from 'oip-index'

var index = new Index()

index.getArtifact("513691").then((artifact) => {
    console.log(artifact.getTitle())
})

Use a Custom OIPd Server

Using a custom OIPd server as your source for Artifacts is simple, yet powerful. To hookup to an OIPd server, simply pass the API url into the Index object when you create it. All requests made to the index object it creates will use the OIPd server you specified as its source of truth.

import { Index } from 'oip-index'

var index = new Index("https://my-oipd-url.com/api")

Create a new Artifact_DEPRECATED

Creating a new Artifact_DEPRECATED allows you to build your own Artifact_DEPRECATED that can then be handed off to oip-account for publishing to the Index. To create a new Artifact_DEPRECATED, we first need to import the Artifact_DEPRECATED class from oip-index. After we have imported the class, we can then create a new Artifact_DEPRECATED.

import { Artifact_DEPRECATED } from 'oip-index'

var myArtifact = new Artifact_DEPRECATED();

After we have created our new Artifact_DEPRECATED, we can then start setting values on it, as well as adding files. In this example, I am just going to set the Title, and Description.

myArtifact.setTitle("My Great Title")
myArtifact.setDescription("The description for the Artifact_DEPRECATED we are creating")
