JS SDK Installation

Install and configure the VSKI SDK for JavaScript

VSKI Package Registry

VSKI packages are hosted on our custom registry. To install @vski/sdk or other VSKI packages, you must add our registry to your npm configuration.

Adding the VSKI Registry

npm

⚠️ VSKI NPM Packages ONLY HOSTED on vski.sh!:

Create or update .npmrc in your project root:

cat > .npmrc << 'EOF'
@vski:registry=https://vski.sh/api/packages/x/npm/
EOF

Or manually add to your existing .npmrc:

echo "@vski:registry=https://vski.sh/api/packages/x/npm/" >> .npmrc

yarn

For Yarn 1.x and 2.x:

cat > .yarnrc.yml << 'EOF'
npmScopes:
  "@vski":
    npmRegistryServer: "https://vski.sh/api/packages/x/npm/"
EOF

For Yarn 3.x (Berry):

yarn config set npmScopes.@vski.npmRegistryServer https://vski.sh/api/packages/x/npm/

pnpm

Add to .npmrc:

echo "@vski:registry=https://vski.sh/api/packages/x/npm/" > .npmrc
pnpm config set @vski:registry https://vski.sh/api/packages/x/npm/

Installation

Once the registry is configured, install the SDK:

npm install @vski/sdk

Or with Yarn:

yarn add @vski/sdk

Or with pnpm:

pnpm add @vski/sdk

Project Setup

Importing the SDK

import { VskiClient } from "@vski/sdk";

Initialize Client

const client = new VskiClient("http://localhost:3000");

Configure Authentication

// Login as admin with email and password
const auth = await client.admins.authWithPassword(
  "admin@rocketbase.dev",
  "password123",
);
client.setToken(auth.token);

// Or use API key
client.setToken("your-api-key");

Multi-Database Support

// Set the active database
client.db("my-database").collection("posts").getList(1, 20);

// Or use the setDb method (legacy)
client.setDb("my-database");
const posts = await client.collection("posts").getList(1, 20);

Available Packages

The following packages are available from the VSKI registry:

Package	Description
@vski/sdk	Core VSKI client SDK
@vski/workflow-functional	Workflow utilities and helpers

Troubleshooting

Package Not Found

If you see "package not found" errors:

1. Verify .npmrc (or .npmrc) contains the registry line
2. Clear npm cache: npm cache clean --force
3. Delete node_modules and package-lock.json
4. Reinstall: npm install

E404 from Registry

If you see E404 errors when installing:

1. Verify the package name is correct
2. Check the registry URL: npm config get @vski:registry
3. Ensure you have internet access to vski.sh

TypeScript Errors

If TypeScript cannot find the module:

1. Verify @vski/sdk is in your package.json dependencies
