# SKIK Client - Quick-start guide

## Installation

Install the SKIK client package from NPM:

```bash
$ npm install @dutchfurniturefulfilment/skik-client --save
```

## Basic usage

**Module environments (ESM, CommonJS)**

Import the default export of the package into your project:

```javascript
import SKIKClient from `@dutchfurniturefulfilment/skik-client;
```

**Global scope**

The package is built as a **UMD bundle**, meaning it is also possible to simply include the file `./dist/skik-client.js` in a `<script>` tag, and a global variable `SKIKClient` should become available, as an alternative to importing within an ES Module- or CommonJS-environments.

## Instantiating `SKIKClient.Client` instances

The SKIKClient module provides a single [static method `create`](api/static#creating-a-skikclient-instance), which accepts a single argument of type object used to provide the [configuration options](api/static#constructor-options) for the instance:

```javascript
// Create a new SKIKClient instance:
const skikClient = SKIKClient.create({ containerId: 'my-frame-container' });
```

## Listening for events

A client instance provides the method [`Client.on()`](api/client#listening-for-events) to listen for a [selection of events](interfaces/event-channels) that are possibly of interest to your application. For example, we might want to log a message each time the lanuage of the configurator changed:

```javascript
skikClient.on("locale-changed", (locale) => console.log(`Locale changed to "${locale}".`));
```
