Getting Started

Install it

$ yarn add collected-notes

Import it

import { read, site, collectedNotes } from 'collected-notes';

Read a Public Note

Use it to read a single note:

As JSON

const note = await read('sergiodxa', 'using-collected-notes-as-cms', 'json');

The returned note will follow the Note interface.

As Markdown

const note = await read('sergiodxa', 'using-collected-notes-as-cms', 'md');

The returned note will be a string with the Markdown content.

As plain text

const note = await read('sergiodxa', 'using-collected-notes-as-cms', 'txt');

The returned note will be a string with the note content as plain text, without Markdown.

Read the Site Data and List of Notes

Use it to get a site data with their public notes.

const siteData = await site('sergiodxa');

The return value will be an object with the format:

type SiteData = { site: Site; notes: Note[] };

Private API

To use the private API, first, get your API token from https://collectednotes.com/accounts/me/token.

Now create a new client instance with:

const cn = collectedNotes('your@email.com', 'your-api-token');

List of Sites

Get the list of sites of the logged-in user.

const sites = await cn.sites();

Each site of the list follows the Site interface.

Latest Notes

You can now get the latest notes, public and private, of a site based on their ID.

const siteId = 1;
const page = 1; // default is 1
const notes = await cn.latestNotes(siteId, page);

Each note of the list follows the Note interface.

Create a Note

You can use the client to create a new note for a site of the user:

const siteId = 1; // optional, if missing the API will use your first site
const noteContent = {
  body: '# Title\nContent of the note.',
  visiblity: 'private',
};
const note = await cn.create(noteContent, siteId);

The returned note follows the Note interface.

Note: This method will validate your body starts with # and throw a CNError instance if not.

Update a Note

You can use the client to update an existant note:

const siteId = 1;
const noteId = 2;
const noteContent = {
  body: '# Title\nNew content of the note.',
  visiblity: 'private',
};
const note = await cn.update(siteId, noteId, noteContent);

The returned note follows the Note interface.

Note: This method will validate your body starts with # and throw a CNError instance if not.

Delete a Note

You can use the client to delete a note:

const siteId = 1;
const noteId = 2;
await cn.destroy(siteId, noteId);

The returned response is the same returned by the Fetch API, you can use response.ok or response.statusCode to check if the delete was successful.

User Data

You can use the client to get the user data.

const user = await cn.me();

The returned user follows the User interface.

Reorder notes

You can use the client to reorder your notes.

const siteId = 1;
const notes: number[] = [2, 3, 1];
const orderedIds = await cn.reorder(siteId, notes);

The returned orderedIds is an array of the ids in their new order, this will be the same as the notes argument.

Search

You can use the client to search your notes.

const siteId = 1;
const term = "new content";
const page = 1; // default is 1
const notes = await cn.search(siteId, term, page);

Site and Read

The private client also comes with the read and site methods used to get only public data. These methods are exactly the same ones and are being returned only for convenience so you could use them as:

const { site, notes } = await cn.site('sergiodxa');
const note = await cn.site('sergiodxa', 'using-collected-notes-as-cms', 'json');

Types

You can also import the interfaces of the values returned by the API or the webhooks.

import {
  ID,
  Markdown,
  URL,
  Email,
  ISODate,
  NoteVisibility,
  NoteFormat,
  Note,
  Site,
  User,
  EventNoteUpdated,
  EventNoteCreated,
  EventNoteDeleted,
  EventNotesReordered,
  EventNotesReordered,
  Event,
} from 'collected-notes';

You can then use them to type any function in case TS is not capable to get the type implicitely, below you can see the definitions:

• ID — alias of number
• Markdown — alias of string
• URL — alias of string
• Email — alias of string
• ISODate — alias of string
• NoteVisibility — union of strings
• NoteFormat — union of strings
• Note — The type of a note
• Site — The type of a site
• User — The type of a user
• EventNoteUpdated — The type of the note updated event
• EventNoteCreated — The type of the note created event
• EventNoteDeleted — The type of the note deleted event
• EventNotesReordered — The type of the notes reordered event
• Event — union of other Webhook-types
