How to use the generated NodeJS SDK?

We generated the JavaScript codes, but we saw only package.json and lib folders. We did a npm install and everything works. Launched it by node lib\index.js. But it just quit? How do we use it?

There is no .html file like SwaggerUI for us to try out the generated codes?

Any simple guide on this aspect of the usage?

Thanks!

  Hi Jim,

  The Generated code produces a Node NPM package.
  We do have a tutorial on zendesk to give you an example.

  For our API generated, we do not find any main.js but just index.js. How do we run that? There is no HTML client?

  NodeJS is designed to be a server side SDK, so I am not 100% sure what you meant by HTML Client.
  The main.js file is a file that you create as part of the tutorial.

  In that file, you consume the SDK by requiring it and utilizing the controllers to invoke the API.

  IMHO, Apimatic should generate a sample HTML that make use of the API. It is better than the command line sample. Wouldn't it be nice? After all, the final consumer is web for REST API, right? :)

  Please consider it as an enhancement?
