# payload-rest-client

A typesafe rest api client for the [payload cms](https://payloadcms.com).

## Quick Start

1. Assume you have a users (auth enabled) and a posts collection with following fields:

```ts
interface User {
id: string;
email: string;
name: string;
password: string;
createdAt: string;
updatedAt: string;
}

interface Post {
id: string;
title: string;
content: string;
createdAt: string;
updatedAt: string;
}
```

2. Create the client:

```ts
import { createClient } from "payload-rest-client";
import { Config } from "./payload-types"; // auto generated types from payload

type Locales = "de" | "en";

const client = createClient({
apiUrl: "http://localhost:4000/api",
});
```

3. Now you can use all available queries for all collections and globals in a typesafe way:

```ts
// if you wan't to use protected routes, use login api...
const loginResponse = await client.collections.users.login({
email: process.env.PAYLOAD_API_EMAIL,
password: process.env.PAYLOAD_API_PASSWORD,
});

// ...and create another client with authorization header
const protectedClient = createClient({
apiUrl: "http://localhost:4000/api",
headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${loginResponse.token}`,
},
});

const posts = await protectedClient.collections.posts.find({
sort: "title", // only top level keys (optionally prefixed with "-") of Post allowed
locale: "de", // only defined locales allowed
limit: 10,
page: 2,
});

console.log(posts); // type of posts is FindResult
```

## Custom Endpoints

1. Define input and output types for alle custom endpoints:

```ts
import { CustomEndpoint } from "payload-rest-client";

/**
* shape of generic CustomEndpoint type
*
* type Input = {
* params?: Record;
* query?: Record;
* body?: any;
* };
*
* type Output = any;
*
* type CustomEndpoint;
*/

type CustomEndpoints = {
greet: CustomEndpoint<{
params: { name: string };
query: { locale: Locales };
}, string>,
};
```

2. Add it to `createClient` function:

```diff
-const client = createClient({
- apiUrl: "http://localhost:4000/api",
-});
+const client = createClient({
+ apiUrl: "http://localhost:4000/api",
+ customEndpoints: {
+ greet: { method: "GET", path: params => `hello/${params.name}` },
+ },
+});
```

3. Call custom endpoints like this:

```ts
const greeting = await client.custom.greet({
params: { name: "John Doe" },
query: { locale: "en" },
});
```
