Exercise: writing a custom connector in JavaScript – Elimity Help Center

As an exercise for for importing data with using the Elimity Insights API, you can try to complete the JavaScript example below.

For more information about the JavaScript client, see https://github.com/elimity-com/insights-client-js/tree/main/example.

import { performImport, logInfo } from "@elimity/insights-client";
// Step 1: Create a custom source in Elimity Insights with the following domain model:
// 
// Entity types:
// 1. User:
// * Attribute types: email address (string), when created (date time), active (boolean)
// 2. Group:
// * Attribute types: description (string)
//
// Relationship types:
// 1. User -> Group
// Step 2: Generate an API token to your application and fill out this connection info:

const config = {
  baseUrl: "https://todo.elimity.com/api",
  sourceId: 1,
  sourceToken: "TODO",
};

// Example input data

const users = [
 {
    fullName: "Tony Stark",
    email: "tony.stark@example.com",
    whenCreated: new Date("2015-12-17T03:24:00"),
    active: false,
    groups: ["admin"]
 },
 {
    fullName: "Peter Parker",
    email: "peter.parker@example.com",
    whenCreated: new Date("2017-01-14T05:23:00"),
    active: true,
    groups: ["member", "editor"]
 },
 {
    fullName: "Steve Rogers",
    email: "steve.rogers@example.com",
    whenCreated: new Date("2024-10-07T01:32:00"),
    active: true,
    groups: ["member", "team admin"]
 },
];

// Step 3: Turn the input data into a list of entities and relationships
const entities = [];
const relationships = [];
await logInfo(config, "Processing input data")
// TODO homework ;) 

// Step 4: Send the data to Elimity Insights
await logInfo(config, "Sending new data")
await performImport(config, entities, relationships);

// Step 5: Verify in Elimity Insights that the logs and the new data have been received successfully
