# Typescript Repetier Server Client

The client has been developed as part of a research programme investigating agent-based manufacturing systems ([Brokering Additive Manufacturing](https://dmf-lab.co.uk/brokering-additive-manufacturing/)). It is isomorphic capable of running on server (Node.js) and client-side (Browser) applications.

## Using the client

To install the package, use:

```
pnpm install @jamesgopsill/repetier-server-client
```

Use it in your code like so:

**Typescript / Javascript (ESM)**

```typescript
import { RepetierServerClient } from "@jamesgopsill/repetier-server-client"

// Create a new client.
const client = new RepetierServerClient("URL")

const r = await client.info()
if (!r.ok) {
	console.error("Could not access server")
	process.exit()
}
client.apiKey = r.data.apikey
const connected = await client.connect()
if (!connected) {
	console.error("Could not access server")
	process.exit()
}

const ping = await client.ping()
if (ping) console.log(ping)
```

**Javascript (CJS)**

```javascript
const {
	EigerClRepetierServerClientient,
} = require("@jamesgopsill/repetier-server-client")

// Create a new client.
const client = new RepetierServerClient("URL")

const r = await client.info()
if (!r.ok) {
	console.error("Could not access server")
	process.exit()
}
client.apiKey = r.data.apikey
const connected = await client.connect()
if (!connected) {
	console.error("Could not access server")
	process.exit()
}

const ping = await client.ping()
if (ping) console.log(ping)
```
