Typescript / Javascript Clients?

[Colton L]

Hi all,

I am new to the opds spec and was looking around for a Javascript/Typescript client library so I don't reinvent the wheel if it already exists.

I was wondering if anyone has experience using https://github.com/NYPL-Simplified/opds-web-client or has recommendations for another similar client library. The former has no live demo application that is straightforward to build and I have some issues using it in a demo application due to its old node dependencies. I am not sure its maintenance status.

Honestly, even a typescript type describing the json is probably sufficient as, from what I understand from the spec, it is fairly straightforward. 

Regards

Colton

Hello,

Are you targeting exclusively OPDS 2.0?

Best,

Hadrien

Either one would work fine for me! I assumed I would use 1.X since it seems 2.0 is a draft. 

Regards

I would recommend using 2.0. It's been stable for many years now, it's what most organizations use in production and we're planning to convert it into a full spec in the near future.

If you're looking for a TypeScript parser, you can take a look at what Thorium Desktop uses: https://github.com/edrlab/r2-opds-js

The Readium TypeScript Toolkit (https://github.com/readium/ts-toolkit) will eventually have an OPDS parser as well, but there's no ETA yet. It's not missing much for OPDS 2.0 since RWPM and OPDS 2.0 share essentially the same model.

Sounds good thank you very much for that info!
