Balena Node.js SDK

balena : object

Welcome to the Balena SDK documentation.

This document aims to describe all the functions supported by the SDK, as well as showing examples of their expected usage.

If you feel something is missing, not clear or could be improved, please don't hesitate to open an issue in GitHub, we'll be happy to help.

Kind: global namespace

balena.interceptors : Array.<Interceptor>

The current array of interceptors to use. Interceptors intercept requests made internally and are executed in the order they appear in this array for requests, and in the reverse order for responses.

Kind: static property of balena
Summary: Array of interceptors
Access: public
Example 

balena.interceptors.push({
    responseError: function (error) {
        console.log(error);
        throw error;
    })
});

interceptors.Interceptor : object

An interceptor implements some set of the four interception hook callbacks. To continue processing, each function should return a value or a promise that successfully resolves to a value.

To halt processing, each function should throw an error or return a promise that rejects with an error.

Kind: static typedef of interceptors
Properties

Name Type Description
[request] function Callback invoked before requests are made. Called with the request options, should return (or resolve to) new request options, or throw/reject.
[response] function Callback invoked before responses are returned. Called with the response, should return (or resolve to) a new response, or throw/reject.
[requestError] function Callback invoked if an error happens before a request. Called with the error itself, caused by a preceeding request interceptor rejecting/throwing an error for the request, or a failing in preflight token validation. Should return (or resolve to) new request options, or throw/reject.
[responseError] function Callback invoked if an error happens in the response. Called with the error itself, caused by a preceeding response interceptor rejecting/throwing an error for the request, a network error, or an error response from the server. Should return (or resolve to) a new response, or throw/reject.

balena.request : Object

The balena-request instance used internally. This should not be necessary in normal usage, but can be useful if you want to make an API request directly, using the same token and hooks as the SDK.

Kind: static property of balena
Summary: Balena request instance
Access: public
Example 

balena.request.send({ url: 'http://api.balena-cloud.com/ping' });

balena.pine : Object

The balena-pine instance used internally. This should not be necessary in normal usage, but can be useful if you want to directly make pine queries to the api for some resource that isn't directly supported in the SDK.

Kind: static property of balena
Summary: Balena pine instance
Access: public
Example 

balena.pine.get({
    resource: 'release/$count',
    options: {
        $filter: { belongs_to__application: applicationId }
    }
});

balena.errors : Object

The balena-errors module used internally. This is provided primarily for convenience, and to avoid the necessity for separate balena-errors dependencies. You'll want to use this if you need to match on the specific type of error thrown by the SDK.

Kind: static property of balena
Summary: Balena errors module
Access: public
Example 

balena.models.device.get(123).catch(function (error) {
  if (error.code === balena.errors.BalenaDeviceNotFound.code) {
    ...
  } else if (error.code === balena.errors.BalenaRequestError.code) {
    ...
  }
});
