# GoodData JS SDK
> Thin javascript abstraction over the GoodData REST API

## Getting started
* For rich visualizations, please use the **GoodData.UI**:
    - [GoodData.UI Documentation](http://sdk.gooddata.com/gooddata-ui/)
    - [GoodData.UI React components](https://github.com/gooddata/gooddata-react-components) repository
    - the [Execute component](https://sdk.gooddata.com/gooddata-ui/docs/execute_component.html) for custom visualizations
* gooddata-js serves for specific background tasks, but it could be used for small applications both in the browser and in the node.js environment.

## Usage
### Using as a npm package
1) go to your project directory and add the package: \
      → with [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com): `yarn add @gooddata/gooddata-js` \
      → with [npm](npmjs.com): `npm install --save @gooddata/gooddata-js`

    :heavy_exclamation_mark: **WARNING: npm package renamed from `gooddata` to `@gooddata/gooddata-js`** :heavy_exclamation_mark:

2) import the package's default export: \
    → in transpiled browser app with ES6 modules syntax: `import { factory } from '@gooddata/gooddata-js';` \
    → in node.js with CommonJS syntax: `const factory = require('@gooddata/gooddata-js').factory;`

4) call the API:
    ```js
    var gooddata = factory({ domain: 'secure.gooddata.com' });
    gooddata.user.login('john.doe@example.com', 'your-secret-password')
        .then((response) => console.log('Login OK', response))
        .catch((apiError) => console.error('Login failed', apiError, "\n\n", apiError.responseBody));

    ```

5) Please note that CORS could prevent the request. Refer to [your options in GoodData.UI documentation](https://sdk.gooddata.com/gooddata-ui/docs/cors.html), ie. setup local proxy or ask the GoodData platform for allowing a specific domain.




### Using as a standalone library
You have two options:
  - [download `gooddata.js` or `gooddata.min.js`](https://unpkg.com/@gooddata/gooddata-js@latest/dist/) from the latest release
  - build on your own:
    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/gooddata/gooddata-js.git
    cd gooddata-js
    git checkout v6.0.0 # choose a version, or omit this line to use unstable code from `master` branch
    yarn install --pure-lockfile
    yarn build
    # get gooddata.js and gooddata.min.js from /dist folder
    ```

Then you can import the library file and global variable `gooddata` contains all exported members:
```html
<script type="text/javascript" src="gooddata.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var sdk = gooddata.factory({ domain: 'secure.gooddata.com' });
    sdk.user.login('john.doe@example.com', 'your-secret-password')
</script>
```
