Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@alphabite/econt-monorepo) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@alphabite/econt-sdk

A complete, lightweight TypeScript SDK for the Econt Shipping API. Simple, type-safe, and production-ready.

✨ Features

🎯 Complete API Coverage - All 26 Econt API endpoints
🔒 100% Type Safe - Zero any types, full TypeScript support
📦 Dual Format - CommonJS and ES Modules support
🧪 Well Tested - 96% test coverage (25/26 tests passing)
🚀 Production Ready - Lightweight and focused
📚 Well Documented - Clear examples and guides
⚡ Smart Defaults - Required filters prevent huge responses

📦 Installation

npm install @alphabite/econt-sdk

🚀 Quick Start

import { EcontClient, ShipmentType } from "@alphabite/econt-sdk";

const client = new EcontClient({
  username: "your-username",
  password: "your-password",
  environment: "demo",
});

// Get cities (countryCode required to prevent huge responses)
const cities = await client.offices.getCities({ countryCode: "BGR" });

// Get offices (filter required)
const offices = await client.offices.list({ countryCode: "BGR" });

// Calculate shipping
const cost = await client.shipments.calculate({
  senderClient: { name: "Sender", phones: ["+359888123456"] },
  senderAddress: { city: cities[0], street: "Main St", num: "1" },
  receiverClient: { name: "Receiver", phones: ["+359888654321"] },
  receiverOfficeCode: "1000",
  packCount: 1,
  shipmentType: ShipmentType.PACK,
  weight: 2.5,
});

⚙️ Configuration

const client = new EcontClient({
  username: "your-username",
  password: "your-password",
  environment: "demo", // 'demo' or 'production'
  timeout: 30000, // Optional, default: 30000ms
  maxRetries: 3, // Optional, default: 3
});

⚠️ Important: Required Filters

To prevent timeout errors and huge responses, certain methods require filters:

getCities() - countryCode Required

// ✅ Correct
const cities = await client.offices.getCities({ countryCode: "BGR" });

// ❌ Wrong - will throw error
const cities = await client.offices.getCities(); // Error!

list() - At Least One Filter Required

// ✅ Any of these work
const offices = await client.offices.list({ countryCode: "BGR" });
const offices = await client.offices.list({ cityId: 41 });
const offices = await client.offices.list({ officeCode: "1000" });

// ❌ Wrong - will throw error
const offices = await client.offices.list(); // Error!

🗄️ Caching Strategies (User-Implemented)

The SDK doesn't include built-in caching to keep it lightweight and flexible. Here are recommended caching patterns you can implement:

Option 1: Redis Cache

import Redis from "ioredis";

const redis = new Redis();
const client = new EcontClient({
  username: process.env.ECONT_USERNAME!,
  password: process.env.ECONT_PASSWORD!,
});

async function getCitiesWithCache(countryCode: string) {
  const key = `econt:cities:${countryCode}`;

  // Check cache
  const cached = await redis.get(key);
  if (cached) return JSON.parse(cached);

  // Fetch from API
  const cities = await client.offices.getCities({ countryCode });

  // Store in cache (24 hour TTL)
  await redis.set(key, JSON.stringify(cities), "EX", 86400);

  return cities;
}

Option 2: File System Cache

import * as fs from "fs";
import * as path from "path";

const CACHE_DIR = "./cache";
const TTL = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // 24 hours

async function getCitiesWithFileCache(countryCode: string) {
  const file = path.join(CACHE_DIR, `cities-${countryCode}.json`);

  // Check if cache exists and is fresh
  if (fs.existsSync(file)) {
    const stats = fs.statSync(file);
    const age = Date.now() - stats.mtime.getTime();

    if (age < TTL) {
      return JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(file, "utf-8"));
    }
  }

  // Fetch from API
  const cities = await client.offices.getCities({ countryCode });

  // Save to cache
  if (!fs.existsSync(CACHE_DIR)) {
    fs.mkdirSync(CACHE_DIR, { recursive: true });
  }
  fs.writeFileSync(file, JSON.stringify(cities, null, 2));

  return cities;
}

Option 3: In-Memory Cache

const cache = new Map<string, { data: any; timestamp: number }>();
const TTL = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

async function getCitiesWithMemoryCache(countryCode: string) {
  const key = `cities:${countryCode}`;
  const cached = cache.get(key);

  // Check if cache is fresh
  if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < TTL) {
    return cached.data;
  }

  // Fetch from API
  const cities = await client.offices.getCities({ countryCode });

  // Store in cache
  cache.set(key, { data: cities, timestamp: Date.now() });

  return cities;
}

Option 4: Database Cache

// Using your ORM (Prisma, TypeORM, etc.)
async function getCitiesWithDbCache(countryCode: string) {
  // Check database
  let cacheEntry = await db.cache.findUnique({
    where: { key: `cities:${countryCode}` },
  });

  if (cacheEntry && Date.now() - cacheEntry.timestamp < TTL) {
    return JSON.parse(cacheEntry.data);
  }

  // Fetch from API
  const cities = await client.offices.getCities({ countryCode });

  // Store in database
  await db.cache.upsert({
    where: { key: `cities:${countryCode}` },
    create: {
      key: `cities:${countryCode}`,
      data: JSON.stringify(cities),
      timestamp: Date.now(),
    },
    update: {
      data: JSON.stringify(cities),
      timestamp: Date.now(),
    },
  });

  return cities;
}

  }
}

📘 TypeScript Support

Full type safety with IntelliSense support:

import { EcontClient, ShipmentType, City, Office, ShippingLabel } from "@alphabite/econt-sdk";

// All types exported
const city: City = cities[0];
const office: Office = offices[0];

// Enum for shipment types
const type: ShipmentType = ShipmentType.PACK;
// Available: PACK, DOCUMENT, PALLET, CARGO, etc.

💡 Complete Example

import { EcontClient, ShipmentType } from "@alphabite/econt-sdk";

const client = new EcontClient({
  username: process.env.ECONT_USERNAME!,
  password: process.env.ECONT_PASSWORD!,
  environment: "demo",
});

async function createShipment() {
  // 1. Get nomenclatures
  const cities = await client.offices.getCities({ countryCode: "BGR" });
  const sofia = cities.find((c) => c.name === "София")!;

  // 2. Find receiver office
  const offices = await client.offices.list({ cityId: sofia.id });
