Now4J : Java Client for the △ Now API

What is it?

Zeit’s Now is a service allowing to deploy an application (Node.js or Docker-powered) from your local machine to a remote cloud service in moments.

Now4J is a Java Client library for accessing the △ Now API.

This Java Client supports the following core features of the Now API:

• deployments
• domains
• files
• aliases
• certificates
• secrets

A standalone Command Line Interface (CLI) app is also available for you to manipulate your Now resources.

Library

Installation

now4j is published on Bintray JCenter.

With Gradle

Make sure you have JCenter added to the list of repositories in your root build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        //...
        jcenter()
    }
}

Then add now4j as a gradle dependency in your build.gradle

compile 'org.rm3l:now4j:1.0.0'

With Maven

Make sure you have Jcenter added to your list of repositories in your pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <!-- ... -->

    <repository>
      <id>jcenter</id>
      <url>https://jcenter.bintray.com/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Then add now4j to your pom.xml dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.rm3l</groupId>
    <artifactId>now4j</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Usage

Grab your Zeit Account token here.

Initialize a NowClient instance, by calling any of the static NowCient.create(...) methods:

final NowClient nowClient = NowCient.create(<myToken>, <myTeam>);

Please note that if you want to read your token and team from ~/.now.json, you can simply call:

final NowClient nowClient = NowCient.create();

And finally, you can use its methods to retrieve data, e.g,:

nowClient.getDeployments();

Note that all the methods in NowClient are overloaded and come under two forms:

• a synchronous method, e.g: NowClient#getDeployments();
• an asynchronous method of the same name, but taking a ClientCallback instance which will be notified of the response. For example: NowClient#getDeployments(ClientCallback)

Building from source

You can build now4j in the same way as any Gradle project on Git.

However, thanks to the Gradle Wrapper (cf. gradlew and gradlew.bat scripts), you do not need to have Gradle installed on your machine.

1. Clone the now4j repository on your machine:

   git clone https://github.com/rm3l/now4j && cd now4j
   

2. Switch to the appropriate branch if needed with git checkout ...
3. Execute a Gradle build in the directory containing the build.gradle file:

   ./gradlew build
   

4. You will find the artifacts under library/build/libs and cli/build/libs directories
