Termii NestJS SDK Documentation

Introduction

The termii-nest-sdk is a NestJS-based software development kit (SDK) designed to simplify the integration of Termii APIs into NestJS projects. It provides a structured and efficient way to interact with Termii's messaging and authentication services.

Installation

To install the SDK, run the following command:

1npm install termii-nest-sdk

or with Yarn:

1yarn add termii-nest-sdk

Configuration

To set up the SDK, import the module into your AppModule and pass the required configuration options.

Example Configuration

1import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
2import { TermiiSDKModule } from 'termii-nest-sdk';
3
4@Module({
5  imports: [
6    TermiiSDKModule.register({
7      apiKey: process.env.API_KEY, // Ensure API_KEY is set in your environment variables
8      baseUrl: 'https://v3.api.termii.com',
9      isGlobal: true // Optional flag (default: false). If false, you must import it into each module that needs it.
10    }),
11  ],
12})
13export class AppModule {}

Environment Variables

Ensure the following environment variables are set:

1API_KEY=[your_api_key]
2BASE_URL=https://v3.api.termii.com

Authentication

Some Termii API requests require authentication. The SDK manages authentication using an API key, which must be provided during module registration.

Usage

Once configured, the SDK can be utilized in any service or controller.

Example: Sending an SMS Message

1import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
2import { AbstractMessagingService } from 'termii-nest-sdk';
3
4@Injectable()
5export class NotificationService {
6  constructor(private readonly messagingService: AbstractMessagingService) {}
7  
8  async sendSMSMessage() {
9    const samplePayload = {
10      to: '[recipient]', // Recipient's phone number
11      from: '[sender_id]', // Approved sender ID
12      sms: 'Hi there, testing Termii',
13      type: '[message_type]', // Message type (e.g., plain)
14      channel: '[channel_type]', // Channel type (e.g., dnd, whatsapp, generic)
15    };
16    
17    return this.messagingService.sendSingleMessage(samplePayload);
18  }
19}

Available APIs in the SDK

AbstractMessagingService

Handles sending text messages across different messaging channels.

AbstractNumberService

Manages sending messages using Termii's auto-generated messaging numbers.

AbstractSenderIDService

Retrieves registered business statuses and requests sender ID registration.

AbstractTokenService

Facilitates OTP (One-Time Password) sending and verification.

API Methods

Messaging Services

• sendSingleMessage(payload: TmSingleMessageRequestPayload): Sends a message to a single recipient.
• sendBulkMessage(payload: TmBulkMessageRequestPayload): Sends messages to multiple recipients.

Number Services

• sendMessage(payload: TmNumberPayload): Sends messages using Termii's generated numbers.

Sender ID Services

• fetchSenderId(): Retrieves details of registered sender IDs.
• requestSenderId(payload: TmRequestSenderIDPayload): Requests a sender ID.

Token Services

• sendToken(payload: TmSendTokenPayload): Sends OTPs across multiple channels.
• verifyToken(payload: TmVerifyTokenPayload): Verifies sent tokens.

Error Handling

All SDK methods return structured responses. Errors can be managed using try-catch blocks.

1try {
2  const response = await messagingService.sendSingleMessage(payload);
3  console.log(response);
4} catch (error) {
5  console.error('Error:', error.message);
6}

Best Practices

• Always handle API errors gracefully.
• Use environment variables to manage sensitive credentials securely.
• Enable logging for better debugging.

Logging & Debugging

Enable verbose logging by setting the following environment variable:

1DEBUG=sdk:* npm start
