Client

The client is just a wrapper for a single account operation, and does not need to handle the problem of token invalidation by itself.

Note: The client is similar to the API, but does not provide register and signIn methods. The payload parameters of other methods do not need to provide the token access token property.

import { PicaComicClient } from '@l2studio/picacomic-api'

export class PicaComicClient {
  public readonly email: string
  public readonly password: string
  public readonly api: PicaComicAPI
  public readonly onTokenIssued?: (token: string) => void | Promise<void>
  public token: string
  constructor (options: PicaComicClientOptions)
}

Client Options

interface PicaComicClientOptions extends Omit<PicaComicAPIOptions, 'reauthorizationTokenCallback'> {
  /// Extende PicaComicAPIOptions options
  /// See above
  fetch?: Got | ExtendOptions
  appOptions?: Partial<PicaComicOptions>
  ///

  // Owned options
  email: string         // PicaComic account email
  password: string      // PicaComic account password
  token?: string        // PicaComic account access token (Optional)

  // Callback function for re-authenticate and consuming a new token when the token is invalid. (Optional)
  // Example:
  //   onTokenIssued (token) {
  //     console.log('New token:', token)
  //     fs.writeFileSync('token.txt', token)
  //   }
  onTokenIssued?: (token: string) => void | Promise<void>
}

Example

When the token expires, it will re-login and renew the token and persistence. No need to provide token every time.

import { PicaComicClient } from '@l2studio/picacomic-api'
import path from 'path'
import fs from 'fs'

const tokenFile = path.join(__dirname, '.token') // Persistent token
const picacomic = new PicaComicClient({
  email   : 'your picacomic email',
  password: 'your picacomic password',
  token: fs.existsSync(tokenFile) ? fs.readFileSync(tokenFile, 'utf8') : undefined,
  onTokenIssued (token) {
    console.log('New token:', token)
    fs.writeFileSync(tokenFile, token) // Update persistent token
  }
})

;(async () => {
  const response = await picacomic.fetchComics({ category: 'Cosplay' })
  console.log(response)
})()

FAQ

How to configure http proxy

See also Got agent.

Please configure the fetch property of PicaComicAPIOptions or PicaComicClientOptions.

Example using tunnel:

import { PicaComicClient } from '@l2studio/picacomic-api'
import tunnel from 'tunnel'

const picacomic = new PicaComicClient({
  fetch: {
    agent: {
      https: tunnel.httpsOverHttp({
        // Your http proxy server host and port
        proxy: {
          host: '127.0.0.1',
          port: 10809
        }
      }) as any
    }
  },
  ...other
})
