DataStax-Examples/all_astra_apis

Data in the Astra DBaaS can be accessed using four different APIs (so far).GraphQL APIREST APICassandra Query Language (CQL) APIMapper APIThis reference project shows how you can use these APIs from Node.js.All Astra APIs tutorial:Contributors: Kiyu GabrielProject LayoutThe most files are in the root of the project:table_multi_api.js: examples of CRUD operations using each APIschema.cql: example Cassandra schema that works with the testsconfig.js: your settingsutility.js: functions to deal with some of the differences in the way the APIs like their dataKeyspaceMapper.js: class that wraps the regular Node.js driver Mapper functionality to create one model per table in the keyspaceTableMapper.js: support file for KeyspaceMapper.jsThere are also test files to illustrate how the examples could be used:test/multi_table_api.js: test the functionality of the table_multi_api.jstest/KeyspaceMapper.js: test the functionality of the KeyspaceMappertest/sample_data.js: sample data for table_multi_api.jsSetup and RunningPrerequisitesThis requires a recent version of Node.js; I was using v14.7You will need to install Mocha npm install mochaYou'll also need an Astra database (can be set up for free)RunningIf you'd like to see the tests in action, you'll need a test database.Create a free-forever Cassandra Database with DataStax Astra: click here to get started 🚀Set up a database, keyspace, username and password (in the samples, I named the database and keyspace "stuff", username "stuff_user" and password "stuff_password")Put all of this information into your config.jsDownload the secure connect bundle from the summary page after your database has launched. You'll need this later. Save this file update the config.js file with the path to it.Also grab the REST API URL from the Summary page - put base of this URL in the config.js. The base of the REST API URL and the GraphQL API URL are the same, just trim off the "/api/rest" part.Use the CQL Console to create the tables defined in the schema.cql fileIn the root of this project, run npm test to exercise all the APIs.
