Usage

Basic usage patterns and common implementations.

Authentication

import { OupickyLab } from '@oupicky/lab-sdk';

const client = new OupickyLab({
    apiKey: 'your-api-key-here',
    environment: 'production' // or 'sandbox'
});

// Authenticate
await client.auth.login();

Making API Calls

// Get user data
const userData = await client.users.get('user-id');

// Create new resource
const newProject = await client.projects.create({
    name: 'My Project',
    description: 'A sample project'
});

Examples

Real-world examples and use cases.

User Management

// Complete user management example
class UserManager {
    constructor(apiKey) {
        this.client = new OupickyLab({ apiKey });
    }

    async createUser(userData) {
        try {
            const user = await this.client.users.create(userData);
            console.log('User created:', user.id);
            return user;
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Failed to create user:', error);
            throw error;
        }
    }

    async updateUser(userId, updates) {
        return await this.client.users.update(userId, updates);
    }
}

Data Processing

// Process large datasets efficiently
async function processData(dataset) {
    const processor = client.data.createProcessor();
    
    const results = await processor
        .transform(dataset)
        .filter(item => item.active)
        .map(item => ({ ...item, processed: true }))
        .execute();
    
    return results;
}

Configuration

Advanced configuration options and environment setup.

// oupicky.config.js
module.exports = {
    apiKey: process.env.OUPICKY_API_KEY,
    timeout: 30000,
    retries: 3,
    baseURL: 'https://api.oupickylab.org/v1',
    debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
};
