npm package: @replygirl/airtable
Description: The official Airtable JavaScript library.
Latest version: 0.10.2

The official Airtable JavaScript library.

# Airtable.js

The Airtable API provides a simple way of accessing your
data. Whether it's contacts, sales leads, inventory, applicant
information or todo items, the vocabulary of the interactions closely
matches your data structure. You will use your table names to address
tables, column names to access data stored in those columns. In
other words, the Airtable API is your own RESTful API for your
base.

# Installation

### Node.js

To install airtable.js in a node project:

    npm install airtable

Airtable.js is compatible with Node 10 and above.

### Browser

To use airtable.js in the browser, use [airtable.browser.js](https://github.com/Airtable/airtable.js/blob/master/build/airtable.browser.js) which is in the `build` folder.

For a demo, run:
```
cd test/test_files
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
```

Edit `test/test_files/index.html` - put your `BASE_ID` and `API_KEY` (Be careful! You are putting your API key on a web page! Create a separate account and share only one base with it).

Then open http://localhost:8000/ in your browser.

Airtable.js is compatible with browsers supported by the Airtable web app with
the exception of Safari 10.0. Airtable.js supports Safari 10.1 and higher.
See the [technical requirements](https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/217990018) for more details.

# Configuration

There are three configurable options available:

  * `apiKey` - set the token to your secret API token. Visit [your account page](https://airtable.com/account) to create an API token.  (`AIRTABLE_API_KEY`)
  * `endpointUrl` - the API endpoint to hit. You might want to override
    it if you are using an API proxy (e.g. runscope.net) to debug your API calls. (`AIRTABLE_ENDPOINT_URL`)
  * `requestTimeout` - the timeout in milliseconds for requests. The default is 5 minutes (`300000`)

You can set the options globally via `Airtable.configure`:

    Airtable.configure({ apiKey: 'YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY' })


Globally via process env (e.g. in 12factor setup).

    export AIRTABLE_API_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY

You can also override the settings per connection:

    var airtable = new Airtable({endpointUrl: 'https://api-airtable-com-8hw7i1oz63iz.runscope.net/'})

# Interactive documentation

Go to https://airtable.com/api to see the interactive API documentation for your Airtable bases. Once you select a base, click the "JavaScript" tab to see code snippets using Airtable.js. It'll have examples for all operations you can perform against your base using this library.

# Promises

As of [v0.5.0](https://github.com/Airtable/airtable.js/releases/tag/v0.5.0) all of the methods that take a `done` callback will return a Promise if you don't pass in a `done` callback.

For example:

```js
table.select().firstPage(result => { ... })
```

is equivalent to

```js
table.select().firstPage().then(result => { ... })
```

# Tests

Tests are run via `npm run test`.

We strive for 100% test coverage. Some aspects may not be testable or suitable
for test coverage. The tooling supports ignoring specific parts of a file
[documented here](https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc#parsing-hints-ignoring-lines); use that as appropriate.

When you run the tests a coverage report will be generated at `./coverage/lcov-report/index.html`
which you can access in the browser for line by line reporting.
