Baserow JavaScript Client

A comprehensive TypeScript client library for the Baserow API. This client provides a clean interface to interact with all aspects of the Baserow API from JavaScript environments, including Node.js, Bun, Deno, and the browser.

Features

• 🔄 Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
• 🔌 Universal compatibility (Node.js, Bun, Deno, and browser environments)
• 🧩 Modular API with logical operation grouping
• 🔐 Built-in authentication handling
• 🚦 Proper error handling with detailed error information

Installation

Node.js

# Using npm
npm install @watzon/baserow

# Using yarn
yarn add @watzon/baserow

# Using pnpm
pnpm add @watzon/baserow
Copy

Bun

bun install @watzon/baserow
Copy

Deno

// Import from npm registry in your script
import { BaserowClient } from "npm:@watzon/baserow";
Copy

Quick Start

import { BaserowClient } from "@watzon/baserow";

// Initialize the client
const client = new BaserowClient({
  url: "https://api.baserow.io",
  token: "YOUR_API_TOKEN",
  // Optional: tokenType defaults to "Token", can be "JWT" for JWT tokens
  tokenType: "Token",
});

// Basic example: Get workspace list
const workspaces = await client.workspace.getAll();
console.log(workspaces);

// Example: Create a row in a table
const newRow = await client.databaseRows.create(
  tableId, 
  { field_1: "Value 1", field_2: "Value 2" }
);
Copy

API Structure

The client is organized into logical operation groups that match Baserow's API structure:

// Health check operations
client.health.getFullHealthCheck();

// Admin operations
client.admin.getUserList();

// Workspace operations
client.workspace.getAll();

// Database row operations
client.databaseRows.getAll(tableId);
