I released a nodejs api npm package for joplin

npm link

Introduction

Joplin api's js package, written in ts, provides a complete type definition, including all currently exposed api in the document.

Conventional name

-Use class to encapsulate API, for example note related API is encapsulated in NoteApi class.
-Keep the same naming for the same function meaning. For example, the note list is NoteApi.list. The following is a complete comparison table

Meaning Naming Examples
List list noteApi.list
Get by id get noteApi.get
Create create noteApi.create
Modify update noteApi.update
Remove remove noteApi.remove

-There are some special cases, such as APIs involving multiple entities, the naming is generally operation entity + by + according to entity, for example, the API to get the tag list according to the note id is noteApi.tagsById

some problems

-The get method should not report an error, if it does not exist it should return null instead of throwing an exception

question

Although it has been written so far, there are still some problems left

- How to package search api
- How to use ResourcesApi
- How to scan the port of joplin (currently use the default port 41184)
- How to open a note in an external editor based on noteId

Attachment: The reason why this npm package is written is because I want to write a vscode joplin plugin so that I can view/edit/search notes directly in vscode
