List Conferences

👍
You're ready for this how-to guide if you've got the following:
A FreeClimb account
A registered application
A configured FreeClimb Number
Your tools and language installed

Node.js

Get this repo

Using the FreeClimb SDK, an asynchronous request for all conferences associated with the account can be initiated. Additional filtering criteria such as Alias, Status, DateCreated, and DateUpdated are possible if provided. Successful invocation of the get method will return the first page of conferences which has the nextPageUri. Sequential iteration through the entire list of conferences can be done using the nextPageUri.

Create your package.json file and save in the root directory of your project:

{
  "name": "node-list-conferences-how-to-guide",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "license": "MIT",
  "dependencies": {
    "@freeclimb/sdk": "^3.8.0",
    "dotenv": "^16.4.5"
  }
}

Install the package by running the following in the command line/terminal:

yarn install

Example code:

require('dotenv').config()
const freeclimbSDK = require('@freeclimb/sdk')

// your freeclimb API key (available in the Dashboard) - be sure to set up environment variables to store these values
const accountId = process.env.ACCOUNT_ID
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY

const configuration = freeclimbSDK.createConfiguration({ accountId, apiKey })
const freeclimb = new freeclimbSDK.DefaultApi(configuration)

getConferences().then(conferences => {
  console.log('got conferences')
  console.log(conferences)
  // Use conferences
}).catch(err => {
  console.errer(err)
  // Catch Errors
})

async function getConferences() {
  // Create array to store all conferences
  const conferences = []
  // Invoke GET method to retrieve initial list of conferences information
  let response = await freeclimb.listConferences()
  conferences.push(...response.conferences)
  // Retrieve entire conferences list 
  while (response.nextPageUri) {
    response = await freeclimb.getNextPage(response)
    conferences.push(...nextPage.conferences)
  }
  return conferences
}

Using the ConferencesRequester created upon successful creation of the FreeClimbClient a synchronous request for all conferences associated with the account can be initiated. Additional filtering criteria such as Alias, Status, DateCreated, and DateUpdated are possible if provided. Successful invocation of the get method will return a ConferenceList object which will allow for the sequential iteration through the entire list for conferences.

Using the ConferencesRequester, obtained from the getConferencesRequester method in FreeClimbClient, a synchronous request for all conferences associated with the account can be initiated.

Additional filtering criteria such as Alias, Status, DateCreated, and DateUpdated are possible if provided. Successful invocation of the get method will return a ConferenceList object which will allow for the sequential iteration through the entire list for conferences.

In this how-to guide we read through all pages of conferences and place into one list that is returned.
The guide is implemented in one method that returns a list of Conference instances for the account whose accountId is passed. This can be used in a web app, console app, etc.

Imports used:

using com.freeclimb.api;
using com.freeclimb.api.conference;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System;

Example code:

public static IList<Conference> GetConferencesList()
{
  string acctId = getAcctId();
  string apiKey = getApiKey();
  IList<Conference> conferences = new List<Conference>();
  FreeClimbClient client = new FreeClimbClient(acctId, apiKey);
  // you can pass an option ConferenceSearchFilters class to the getConferences method to filter by certain criteria (e.g. alias, create date)
  ConferenceList conferenceList = client.getConferencesRequester.getConferences();
  if (conferenceList.getTotalSize > 0)
  {
    // Retrieve all pages of results
    while (conferenceList.getLocalSize < conferenceList.getTotalSize)
    {
      conferenceList.loadNextPage();
    }
    foreach (IFreeClimbCommon item in conferenceList.export())
    {
      Conference conf = item as Conference;
      // do whatever you need to do with conferene object which contains all the conference properties
      conferences.Add(conf);
    }
  }
  return conferences;
}
