SDK Example Usage

Example 1

import { Dub } from "dub";

const dub = new Dub({
  token: "DUB_API_KEY",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dub.links.create();

  // Handle the result
  console.log(result);
}

run();

Example 2

import { Dub } from "dub";

const dub = new Dub({
  token: "DUB_API_KEY",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dub.links.upsert();

  // Handle the result
  console.log(result);
}

run();

Available Resources and Operations

Available methods
  • retrieve - Retrieve analytics for a link, a domain, or the authenticated workspace.
  • list - Retrieve a list of domains
  • create - Create a domain

Error Handling

All SDK methods return a response object or throw an error. If Error objects are specified in your OpenAPI Spec, the SDK will throw the appropriate Error type.

Error Object Status Code Content Type
errors.BadRequest 400 application/json
errors.Unauthorized 401 application/json
errors.Forbidden 403 application/json
errors.NotFound 404 application/json
errors.Conflict 409 application/json
errors.InviteExpired 410 application/json
errors.UnprocessableEntity 422 application/json
errors.RateLimitExceeded 429 application/json
errors.InternalServerError 500 application/json
errors.SDKError 4xx-5xx /

Validation errors can also occur when either method arguments or data returned from the server do not match the expected format. The SDKValidationError that is thrown as a result will capture the raw value that failed validation in an attribute called rawValue. Additionally, a pretty() method is available on this error that can be used to log a nicely formatted string since validation errors can list many issues and the plain error string may be difficult read when debugging.

import { Dub } from "dub";
import {
  BadRequest,
  Conflict,
  Forbidden,
  InternalServerError,
  InviteExpired,
  NotFound,
  RateLimitExceeded,
  SDKValidationError,
  Unauthorized,
  UnprocessableEntity,
} from "dub/models/errors";

const dub = new Dub({
  token: "DUB_API_KEY",
});

async function run() {
  let result;
  try {
    result = await dub.links.list({});

    for await (const page of result) {
      // Handle the page
      console.log(page);
    }
  } catch (err) {
    switch (true) {
      case (err instanceof SDKValidationError): {
        // Validation errors can be pretty-printed
        console.error(err.pretty());
        // Raw value may also be inspected
        console.error(err.rawValue);
        return;
      }
      case (err instanceof BadRequest): {
        // Handle err.data$: BadRequestData
        console.error(err);
        return;
      }
      case (err instanceof Unauthorized): {
        // Handle err.data$: UnauthorizedData
        console.error(err);
        return;
      }
      case (err instanceof Forbidden): {
        // Handle err.data$: ForbiddenData
        console.error(err);
        return;
      }
      case (err instanceof NotFound): {
        // Handle err.data$: NotFoundData
        console.error(err);
        return;

        console.error(err);
        return;
      }
      case (err instanceof UnprocessableEntity): {
        // Handle err.data$: UnprocessableEntityData
        console.error(err);
        return;

        // Handle err.data$: InternalServerErrorData
        console.error(err);
        return;
      }
      default: {
        throw err;
      }
    }
  }
}

Server Selection

Select Server by Index

You can override the default server globally by passing a server index to the serverIdx optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected server will then be used as the default on the operations that use it. This table lists the indexes associated with the available servers:

# Server Variables
0 https://api.dub.co None
import { Dub } from "dub";

const dub = new Dub({
  serverIdx: 0,
  token: "DUB_API_KEY",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dub.links.list({});

  for await (const page of result) {
    // Handle the page
    console.log(page);
  }
}

run();

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverURL optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

import { Dub } from "dub";

const dub = new Dub({
  serverURL: "https://api.dub.co",
  token: "DUB_API_KEY",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dub.links.list({});

  for await (const page of result) {
    // Handle the page
    console.log(page);
  }
}

run();

Custom HTTP Client

The TypeScript SDK makes API calls using an HTTPClient that wraps the native Fetch API. This client is a thin wrapper around fetch and provides the ability to attach hooks around the request lifecycle that can be used to modify the request or handle errors and response.

The HTTPClient constructor takes an optional fetcher argument that can be used to integrate a third-party HTTP client or when writing tests to mock out the HTTP client and feed in fixtures.

The following example shows how to use the "beforeRequest" hook to to add a custom header and a timeout to requests and how to use the "requestError" hook to log errors:

import { Dub } from "dub";
import { HTTPClient } from "dub/lib/http";

const httpClient = new HTTPClient({
  // fetcher takes a function that has the same signature as native `fetch`.
  fetcher: (request) => {
    return fetch(request);
  }
});

httpClient.addHook("beforeRequest", (request) => {
  const nextRequest = new Request(request, {
    signal: request.signal || AbortSignal.timeout(5000)
  });

  nextRequest.headers.set("x-custom-header", "custom value");

  return nextRequest;
});

httpClient.addHook("requestError", (error, request) => {
  console.group("Request Error");
  console.log("Reason:", `${error}`);
  console.log("Endpoint:", `${request.method} ${request.url}`);
  console.groupEnd();
});

const sdk = new Dub({ httpClient });

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

Name Type Scheme
token http HTTP Bearer

To authenticate with the API the token parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

import { Dub } from "dub";

const dub = new Dub({
  token: "DUB_API_KEY",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dub.links.list({});

  for await (const page of result) {
    // Handle the page
    console.log(page);
  }
}

run();

Retries

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.

To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a retryConfig object to the call:

import { Dub } from "dub";

const dub = new Dub({
  token: "DUB_API_KEY",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dub.links.list({}, {
    retries: {
      strategy: "backoff",
      backoff: {
        initialInterval: 1,
        maxInterval: 50,
        exponent: 1.1,
        maxElapsedTime: 100,
      },
      retryConnectionErrors: false,
    },
  });

  for await (const page of result) {
    // Handle the page
    console.log(page);
  }
}

run();

If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can provide a retryConfig at SDK initialization:

import { Dub } from "dub";

const dub = new Dub({
  retryConfig: {
    strategy: "backoff",
    backoff: {
      initialInterval: 1,
      maxInterval: 50,
      exponent: 1.1,
      maxElapsedTime: 100,
    },
    retryConnectionErrors: false,
  },
  token: "DUB_API_KEY",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dub.links.list({});

  for await (const page of result) {
    // Handle the page
    console.log(page);
  }
}

run();

Pagination

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support pagination. To use pagination, you make your SDK calls as usual, but the returned response object will also be an async iterable that can be consumed using the for await...of syntax.

Here's an example of one such pagination call:

import { Dub } from "dub";

const dub = new Dub({
  token: "DUB_API_KEY",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dub.links.list({});

  for await (const page of result) {
    // Handle the page
    console.log(page);
  }
}

run();

Standalone functions

All the methods listed above are available as standalone functions. These functions are ideal for use in applications running in the browser, serverless runtimes or other environments where application bundle size is a primary concern. When using a bundler to build your application, all unused functionality will be either excluded from the final bundle or tree-shaken away.

To read more about standalone functions, check FUNCTIONS.md.

Available standalone functions

Debugging

You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.

You can pass a logger that matches console's interface as an SDK option.

Warning

Beware that debug logging will reveal secrets, like API tokens in headers, in log messages printed to a console or files. It's recommended to use this feature only during local development and not in production.

import { Dub } from "dub";

const sdk = new Dub({ debugLogger: console });
