TypeScript Types

The SDK exports all TypeScript types for your convenience:

import {
  Board,
  Table,
  Row,
  Column,
  ColumnValue,
  SendMessageParams,
  CoperaAIError
} from '@copera.ai/sdk';

Type Definitions

interface Board {
  _id: string;
  name: string;
  description?: string;
  createdAt: string;
  updatedAt: string;
}

interface Table {
  _id: string;
  name: string;
  board: string;
  columns: Column[];
  createdAt: string;
  updatedAt: string;
}

interface Row {
  _id: string;
  rowId: string;
  owner: string;
  table: string;
  board: string;
  columns: ColumnValue[];
  createdAt: string;
  updatedAt: string;
}

interface Column {
  columnId: string;
  label: string;
  type: string;
  order?: number;
}

interface ColumnValue {
  columnId: string;
  value: unknown;
}

Error Handling

The SDK returns errors in a consistent format:

try {
  const boards = await copera.board.listBoards();

  if ('error' in boards) {
    console.error('API Error:', boards.error);
    return;
  }

  // Success - process boards
  console.log(boards);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Network Error:', error);
}

Usage with Different Module Systems

ESM (ES Modules)

import { CoperaAI } from '@copera.ai/sdk';

const copera = CoperaAI({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

CommonJS

const { CoperaAI } = require('@copera.ai/sdk');

const copera = CoperaAI({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

TypeScript with ESM

// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler"
  }
}

Examples

Complete Board Workflow

import { CoperaAI } from '@copera.ai/sdk';

const copera = CoperaAI({ apiKey: process.env.COPERA_API_KEY });

async function manageBoardData() {
  // 1. Get all boards
  const boards = await copera.board.listBoards();
  const firstBoard = boards[0];

  // 2. Get board details
  const board = await copera.board.getBoardDetails({
    boardId: firstBoard._id
  });

  // 3. Get all tables in the board
  const tables = await copera.board.listBoardTables({
    boardId: board._id
  });

  // 4. Get rows from first table
  const rows = await copera.board.listTableRows({
    boardId: board._id,
    tableId: tables[0]._id
  });

  // 5. Create a new row
  const newRow = await copera.board.createTableRow({
    boardId: board._id,
    tableId: tables[0]._id,
    columns: [
      { columnId: 'col-1', value: 'New Value' }
    ]
  });

  console.log('Created row:', newRow);
}

manageBoardData().catch(console.error);

Send Notifications

import { CoperaAI } from '@copera.ai/sdk';

const copera = CoperaAI({ apiKey: process.env.COPERA_API_KEY });

async function sendNotification() {
  await copera.channel.sendMessage({
    channelId: 'your-channel-id',
    message: 'Task completed successfully!',
    name: 'Automation Bot'
  });
}

sendNotification().catch(console.error);

Using with Environment Variables

// .env
COPERA_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
COPERA_CHANNEL_ID=your-channel-id

// app.ts
import { CoperaAI } from '@copera.ai/sdk';
import 'dotenv/config';

const copera = CoperaAI({
  apiKey: process.env.COPERA_API_KEY!
});

await copera.channel.sendMessage({
  channelId: process.env.COPERA_CHANNEL_ID!,
  message: 'Hello from automation!'
});

Best Practices

1. Use Environment Variables

Never hardcode API keys in your source code:

// ❌ Bad
const copera = CoperaAI({ apiKey: 'sk_live_abc123...' });

// ✅ Good
const copera = CoperaAI({ apiKey: process.env.COPERA_API_KEY });

2. Error Handling

Always handle errors appropriately:

try {
  const boards = await copera.board.listBoards();
  if ('error' in boards) {
    // Handle API error
    logger.error('API Error:', boards.error);
    return;
  }
  // Process successful response
} catch (error) {
  // Handle network/unexpected errors
  logger.error('Unexpected error:', error);
}

3. Use TypeScript

Take advantage of full type safety:

import { CoperaAI, type Board, type Row } from '@copera.ai/sdk';

const copera = CoperaAI({ apiKey: process.env.COPERA_API_KEY });

// TypeScript will provide full autocomplete and type checking
const boards: Board[] = await copera.board.listBoards();

4. Separate Development and Production Keys

Use different API keys for different environments:

const copera = CoperaAI({
  apiKey: process.env.COPERA_API_KEY,
  sandbox: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
});
