Types

The SDK provides a set of types that complement the data types JavaScript supports out-of-the box. When calling the Marketplace API endpoints, the SDK returns data using these types. It also expects these types given as parameters for the queries and commands.

Here's a list of the provided types:

Name	Description	Constructor	Properties
`UUID`	UUID	`new UUID(uuid)`	`uuid`
`Money`	Amount of money in certain currency	`new Money(amount: Number, currency: String)`	`amount` The amount in subunit. `currency`
`LatLng`	Geolocation	`new LatLng(lat: Number, lng: Number)`	`lat` `lng`
`LatLngBounds`	Bounding box limited by North-East and South-West corners	`new LatLngBounds(ne: LatLng, sw: LatLng)`	`ne` `sw`
`BigDecimal`	Arbitrary precision decimal value	`new BigDecimal(value: String)`	`value`

Example:

const { Money } = require('sharetribe-flex-sdk').types;

const price = new Money(5000, 'USD');

console.log("Amount in subunit (i.e. cents): " + price.amount)
console.log("Currency: " + price.currency)

Note: If you are using the Sharetribe SDK and the Sharetribe Integration SDK in the same application, it is good to note that the types are currently NOT interchangeable between SDKs, even though they have the same shape.

If you want to pass a Sharetribe Integration SDK UUID to a Sharetribe SDK call, for example, you can use the toType function:

const integrationSDKlistingUUID = integrationSDKlisting.listingId;
const marketplaceSDKlistingUUID = sharetribeSdk.types.toType(integrationSDKlistingUUID);

sharetribeSdk.listings.show({ id: marketplaceSDKlistingUUID })
  .then(...)
