Clowder.js

Node.js library for Clowder.

Installation

npm install clowderjs

Setup

var clowder = require('clowderjs');

Clowder.js offers a simple way to configure a connection to your Clowder instance.

var auth = clowder.connect({
  "url": "http://clowder.ncsa.illinois.edu",
  "username": "user@example.com",
  "password": "clowderPassword"
});

However, you'll probably want to be able to connect to local, development and production instances, so we would recommend that you use the included config.json file in this repo. It looks like this:

{
  "dev": {
    "url": "",
    "username": "",
    "password": ""
  },
  "prod": {
    "url": "",
    "username": "",
    "password": ""
  },
  "local": {
    "url": "",
    "username": "",
    "password": ""
  }
}

Use this template to create a clowder.json in your project directory and add clowder.json to your .gitignore file. The above could then be written like this:

var clowder = require('clowderjs');
var config = require('clowder.json')['dev'];
var auth = clowder.connect(config);

The auth object is then passed as the first argument in each of the methods.

Usage Examples

clowder.datasets.getMine(auth, function(datasets){
  console.log(datasets);
});
 
clowder.geostreams.sensors(auth, function(sensors){
  console.log(sensors);
});
 
clowder.geostreams.counts(auth, function(counts){
  console.log(counts);
});
