SDK 'edge' branch

[rockacola]

Purpose of this ticket is for open discussion on feature roadmap and vision of edge branch of asteroid-sdk-js project.

Overview on intentions:

• Build as a private package but with intention of becoming a public package in the future
• Convert to TypeScript
• Features both vega and deimos related APIs

[rockacola]

I'll be dubbed its mature release to be 0.1.0, which should include following efforts:

• Implode experimental repos: planetoid-sdk-js, planetoid-sdk-js-examples
• Migrate effort of asteroid-api-tests into a new repo, say, asteroid-sdk-js-examples
• Discuss with Tyler to consider migrate effort of asteroid-testing to merge into asteroid-sdk-js-examples
• Work with Chris on asteroid-worker-neo-claim to make the implending API changes fromasteroid-sdk-js

@lllwvlvwlll @birmas Documentations along with asteroid-sdk-js-examples will be available in-time, as for now, here's a quick summary on my vision of the API:

The API comes in 2 flavours: class-based and functional-based.

• Class-based is suitable for singleton setup where the instance will apply its business logic and do some abstraction for you. Example:

// ES6
const AsteroidDomainUser = require('../dist').AsteroidDomainUser
const config = { networkType: 'stage' }
const adu = new AsteroidDomainUser(config)
// Noticed that the instance has no credential information at the moment
await adu.loginEmail('test@moonlight.io', 'testpassword')
// Access code and refresh code are now been stored in the instance
const res = await adu.getAttributeHeadersByTypes(['name'])

// Wait for 10 minutes so that the access code expires...
// Below will work as the instance will refresh access code automatically when needed
await adu.updatePasswordJwt('newTestPassword')

• Functional-based are static methods to invoke RPCs without needing to instantiate anything. This is useful when, for whatever reason, you do not wish any business logic is involved and just need helper on executing RPCs. Examples:

// ES6
const rpc = require('../dist').rpc
const url = 'https://stage-user.asteroid.moonlight.io/rpc'
const params = {
  email: 'test@moonlight.io',
  password: 'testpassword',
}

const res = await rpc.user.registerEmail(url, params)
console.log('access code:', res.access_code)
console.log('refresh code:', res.refresh_code)

This works well for me. for internal use cases, we will also need to implement the User class since the JWT tokens are representative of a user and shared across all asteroid platforms (adu and adw).

Regarding the merging of our system testing and the examples branches, I'm alright with this idea as long as the example are all written in a way that supports our test framework since this code is used by our CICD workflows.

All implementations are now complete in edge branch as per https://github.com/Moonlight-io/asteroid-sdk-js/tree/c2d739ee0aa9fd3d2287d924bd92f7afb70ed89a onward.

Do you want to merge this in so we can start using this as the default architecture?

Do you want to merge this in so we can start using this as the default architecture?

Not quite yet, this will happen after preliminary tests are complete.

[rockacola]

Per previous discussions, we will not take action regards to migrate effort of asteroid-testing into asteroid-sdk-js-examples

[rockacola]

edge branch now merged into master and released as 0.1.0.

Examples and regression tests available on asteroid-sdk-js-examples.
