Behance<\/span> is an online portfolios website. Here a user can create and see\u00a0his\/her\/others portfolios. node-behance-api<\/span> is an utility wrapper built on node.js for Adobe Behance rest services. This utility is developed for node.js only<\/a>. Currently it supports most of the API’s of Adobe Behance. You can upgrade or\u00a0add other new API’s via simply \u00a0coding. This\u00a0node-behance-api\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>is more configurable than any third party module available on node.js.<\/p>\n

Before starting development on\u00a0Behance<\/span>. You have to register a\u00a0app on Behance. \u00a0For registering your app you just need to follow simple steps. Register your app and get the client id from there.<\/p>\n

Working on \u00a0node-behance-api\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>is very easy. You just need to require the\u00a0node-behance-api. <\/strong><\/span>And here you go, you are ready to work on\u00a0<\/strong>Behance\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Requiring the node-behance-api<\/span> to your nodejs app<\/h3>\n

[js]<\/p>\n

var Behance = require(‘node-behance-api’);<\/p>\n

[\/js]<\/p>\n

Initializing\u00a0node-behance-api\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>module is very easy. Once you have done with Behance constructor(create a object) , You can initialize\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Behance\u00a0<\/span>by calling\u00a0initOptions<\/em> method. Here below i have attached samples code snippet.<\/p>\n

[js]<\/p>\n

var Behance = require(‘node-behance-api’);<\/p>\n

\/\/Initialize Behance module with your client_id<\/p>\n

var behance = new Behance({‘client_id’: ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’})
\nBehance.initOptions();<\/p>\n

[\/js]<\/p>\n

Here Behance.initOptions()<\/em> is where you initialize node-behance-api<\/span>. You can further integrate\/update this module with other added API’s. We will see example later on.
\nCalling a simple API let’s say users\/{user}<\/em><\/p>\n

Example:<\/h4>\n

[js]<\/p>\n

var Behance = require("node-behance-api");
\nvar behance = new Behance({"client_id": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"})
\nBehance.initOptions();
\nbehance.get({
\n api: Behance.APIS.GET_USER,
\n params: { \/\/or simply behance.get(‘user’,
\n user:’deepakmshrma’<\/p>\n

}
\n}, function (error, result) {
\n if (error)
\n console.log(error)
\n else
\n console.log(result)
\n});<\/p>\n

[\/js]<\/p>\n

Here Behance.APIS.GET_USER<\/em>, name of the API which you want to access. There are several API’s available. You can find API’s name in apiNameEnum.js or you can just simply\u00a0pass string as API’s\u00a0name here.<\/p>\n

List of API’s available right now:<\/h4>\n

[js]<\/p>\n

var ENUM = {
\n GET_USERS: ‘users’,
\n GET_USER: ‘user’,
\n GET_USER_PRODUCT: ‘user_products’,
\n GET_USER_WIPS: ‘user_wips’,
\n GET_USER_APR: ‘user_appreciations’,
\n GET_USER_COLLECTIONS: ‘user_collections’,
\n GET_USER_STATS: ‘user_stats’,
\n GET_USER_FOLLOWERS: ‘user_followers’,
\n GET_USER_FOLLOWEES: ‘user_following’,
\n GET_USER_FEEDBACK: ‘user_feedback’,
\n GET_USER_WORK_EXP: ‘user_work_experience’,
\n GET_PRODUCTS: ‘projects’,
\n GET_PRODUCT: ‘project’,
\n GET_PRODUCT_COMMENTS: ‘project_comments’,
\n GET_COLLECTIONS: ‘collections’,
\n GET_COLLECTION: ‘collection’,
\n GET_COLLECTION_PROJECTS: ‘collection_projects’,
\n GET_WIPS: ‘wips’,
\n GET_WIP_REVISION: ‘wip_revision’,
\n GET_WIP_REVISION_COMMENTS: ‘wip_revision_comments’,
\n GET_WIP: ‘wip’
\n}<\/p>\n

[\/js]<\/p>\n

Integration of another API’s node-behance-api<\/h4>\n

Currently this node-behance-api<\/span>\u00a0module supports most of the Behance API’s. But in future if you needed you can easily upgrade node-behance-api<\/span>\u00a0with other list of API’s.\u00a0Refer to below given snippet.<\/p>\n

[js]<\/p>\n

var Behance = require(‘node-behance-api’),
\n extend = require(‘extend’);
\nvar behance = new Behance({‘client_id’: ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’})
\nBehance.initOptions({
\n postProcess: function (options) {
\n var newapis = {
\n ‘newapis’: {
\n ‘name’: ‘newapis’,
\n ‘url’: ‘users’,
\n ‘params’: {
\n ‘client_id’: true,
\n ‘q’: false,
\n ‘sort’: false
\n }
\n }
\n }
\n options = extend(true, {}, newapis, options);
\n return options;
\n }
\n});
\nbehance
\n .get({
\n api: ‘newapis’,
\n params: {
\n user: ‘deepakmshrma’
\n }
\n }, function (error, result) {
\n if (error)
\n console.log(error)
\n else
\n console.log(result)
\n });<\/p>\n

[\/js]<\/p>\n

Here i have used extend<\/a> \u00a0module to extend my previous option with new API details. You can use other third party tool for that.<\/p>\n

You can use this initOptions<\/em> method to add new to the existing API’s or you can simply override current available API by passing same name as it is defined. It will simply override the previous API.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/h4>\n

[js]<\/p>\n

Behance.initOptions({
\n postProcess: function (options) {
\n var newapis = {
\n ‘users’: {
\n ‘name’: ‘users’,
\n ‘url’: ‘users’,
\n ‘params’: {
\n ‘client_id’: true,
\n ‘q’: false,
\n ‘sort’: false,
\n ‘time’: false,
\n ‘field’: false,
\n ‘country’: false,
\n ‘state’: false,
\n ‘city’: false,
\n ‘page’: false,
\n ‘tags’: false,
\n ‘color_hex’: false,
\n ‘color_range’: false
\n }
\n }
\n }
\n options = extend(true, {}, newapis, options);
\n return options;
\n }
\n});<\/p>\n

[\/js]<\/p>\n

Error handling with node-behance-api<\/h4>\n

Error handling with this module is very easy. You can specify the mandatory param with options. If the param value is true. It means it is mandatory for given API’s.<\/p>\n

[js]<\/p>\n

‘newapi’ : {
\n ‘name’: ‘newapis’,
\n ‘url’: ‘users’,
\n ‘params’: {
\n ‘client_id’: true,
\n ‘q’: false,
\n ‘sort’: false,
\n ‘time’: true,
\n ‘field’: false,
\n ‘country’: false,
\n ‘state’: false,
\n ‘city’: false,
\n ‘page’: false,
\n ‘tags’: false,
\n ‘color_hex’: false,
\n ‘color_range’: false
\n }
\n}
\n\/\/Here param ‘time’ is mandatory for newapi.<\/p>\n

[\/js]<\/p>\n

Hence i tried my best to explain all of the feature of the node-behance-api<\/span>. You can further visit my Github<\/a> repository which is https:\/\/github.com\/deepakshrma\/node-behance-api<\/a>.\u00a0In case of any issue regarding to node-behance-api.\u00a0<\/span>Kindly raise your issue on Github<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
