TypeScript SDK

Introduction​

The Pieces SDK is a powerful code engine package designed for writing applications on top of Pieces OS. It facilitates communication with a locally hosted server to enable features such as copilot chats, asset saving, and more.

Requirements​

The Pieces SDK has the following system requirements:

Installation​

To get started with the Pieces SDK, follow these steps:

  1. Download Pieces OS: Pieces OS serves as the primary backend service, providing essential functionality for the SDK. Download the appropriate version for your operating system:

  2. Install the SDK: Install the Pieces SDK using your preferred package manager:

    npm install @pieces.app/pieces-os-client

Getting Started​

info

It's important to note that the localhost port for Pieces OS is different based on the operating system.

For Linux, you should use localhost:5323.

For macOS and Windows, you should use localhost:1000.

Create a main.ts file and add the following code:

main.ts
import * as Pieces from '@pieces.app/pieces-os-client'
import os from 'os';

const platform = os.platform();
let port = 1000;

// Defining the port based on the operating system. For Linux, the port is 5323, and for macOS/Windows, the port is 1000.
if (platform === 'linux') {
  port = 5323;
} else {
  port = 1000;
}

// The `basePath` defaults to http://localhost:1000, however we need to change it to the correct port based on the operating system.
const configuration = Pieces.Configuration({
  basePath: `http://localhost:${port}`
})
// Create an instance of the WellKnownApi class
const apiInstance = new Pieces.WellKnownApi(configuration)

apiInstance.getWellKnownHealth().then((data: string) => {
  console.log(data) // ok
}).catch((error: unknown) => console.error(error))

Run the following command to execute the script:

ts-node main.ts
