List Queues

👍
You're ready for this tutoral 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, invoke an asynchronous request for all Queues associated with the account. Additional criteria such as Alias can be provided to limit the results. Successful invocation of the get method returns the first page of Queues as a Queues object. Iteration through the entire list of Queues uses the nextPageUri.

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

{
  "name": "node-list-queues-tutorial",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "@freeclimb/sdk": "^1.0.0",
    "dotenv": "^8.1.0"
  }
}

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

yarn install

Example code:

require('dotenv').config()
const freeclimbSDK = require('@freeclimb/sdk')
 
const accountId = process.env.ACCOUNT_ID
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY
// your FreeClimb API credentials (available in the Dashboard) - be sure to set up environment variables to store these values
const freeclimb = freeclimbSDK(accountId, apiKey)

getQueues().then(queues => {
  // Use Queues
}).catch(err => {
  // Catch Errors
})
 
async function getQueues() {
  // Create array to store all queues
  const queues = []
  // Invoke GET method to retrieve initial list of queues information
  const first = await freeclimb.api.queues.getList()
  queues.push(...first.queues)
  // Get Uri for next page
  let nextPageUri = first.nextPageUri
  // Retrieve entire queues list
  while (nextPageUri) {
    const nextPage = await freeclimb.api.queues.getNextPage(nextPageUri)
    queues.push(...nextPage.queues)
    nextPageUri = nextPage.nextPageUri
  }
  return queues
}

After successfully creating the FreeClimbClient, invoke getQueuesRequester to send a synchronous request for all Queues associated with the account. Additional criteria such as alias can be provided to limit results. Successful invocation of the get method returns the QueueList object, which allows for sequential iteration through the entire list of Queues.

        QueueList queueList = client.queues.get(filters);

                queueList.loadNextPage();
            }
 
            //Retrieve the inner ArrayList of queues to process
            ArrayList<Queue> queues = queueList.export();
            for (Queue queue:queues) {

Example code:

}

// Create FreeClimbClient object
FreeClimbClient client = new FreeClimbClient(getFreeClimbAccountId(),

// Invoke get method to retrieve initial list of queue information
QueueList queueList = client.getQueuesRequester.get(filters);

Console.Write($"Number of queues: {queueList.getTotalSize} \n" );
// Check if list is empty by checking total size of the list
if (queueList.getTotalSize > 0)
{
  // retrieve all queue information from server
  while (queueList.getLocalSize < queueList.getTotalSize)
  {
    queueList.loadNextPage();
  }

  // Convert current pages queue information to a linked list
  LinkedList<IFreeClimbCommon> commonList = queueList.export();
  // Loop through linked list to process queue information
  foreach (IFreeClimbCommon element in commonList)
  {
    // Cast each element to the Queue element for processing
    Queue queue = element as Queue;

    // Process queue element
  }
