TypeScript/JavaScript library for a Frappe Framework backend.
The library currently supports the following features:
- 🔐 Authentication - login with username and password (cookie based) + token based authentication
- 🗄 Database - Get document, get list of documents, get count, create, update and delete documents
- 📄 File upload
- 🤙🏻 API calls
We plan to add the following features in the future:
- Support for common functions like
existsin the database.
The library uses Axios under the hood to make API calls to your Frappe backend.

npm install frappe-js-sdkor
yarn add frappe-js-sdkTo get started, initialise the library:
import { FrappeApp } from 'frappe-js-sdk';
//Add your Frappe backend's URL
const frappe = new FrappeApp('https://test.frappe.cloud');In case you want to use the library with token based authentication (OAuth bearer tokens or API key/secret pairs), you can initialise the library like this:
import { FrappeApp } from "frappe-js-sdk";
const frappe = new FrappeApp("https://test.frappe.cloud", {
useToken: true,
// Pass a custom function that returns the token as a string - this could be fetched from LocalStorage or auth providers like Firebase, Auth0 etc.
token: getTokenFromLocalStorage(),
// This can be "Bearer" or "token"
type: "Bearer"
})const auth = frappe.auth()This makes an API call to the /api/method/login endpoint.
auth
.loginWithUsernamePassword({ username: 'admin', password: 'my-password' })
.then((response) => console.log('Logged in'))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));This makes an API call to the /api/method/frappe.auth.get_logged_user endpoint.
auth
.getLoggedInUser()
.then((user) => console.log(`User ${user} is logged in.`))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));This makes an API call to the /api/method/logout endpoint.
auth
.logout()
.then(() => console.log('Logged out.'))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));This makes an API sends a password reset link to the specified email address.
auth
.forgetPassword('example@example.com')
.then(() => console.log('Password Reset Email Sent!'))
.catch(() => console.error("We couldn't find your account."));const db = frappe.db();db.getDoc('DocType', 'My DocType Name')
.then((doc) => console.log(doc))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));db.getDocList('DocType')
.then((docs) => console.log(docs))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));Optionally, a second argument can be provided to filter, sort, limit and paginate results.
db.getDocList('DocType', {
/** Fields to be fetched */
fields: ['name', 'creation'],
/** Filters to be applied - SQL AND operation */
filters: [['creation', '>', '2021-10-09']],
/** Filters to be applied - SQL OR operation */
orFilters: [],
/** Fetch from nth document in filtered and sorted list. Used for pagination */
limit_start: 5,
/** Number of documents to be fetched. Default is 20 */
limit: 10,
/** Sort results by field and order */
orderBy: {
field: 'creation',
order: 'desc',
},
/** Group the results by particular field */
groupBy: 'name',
/** Fetch documents as a dictionary */
asDict: false,
})
.then((docs) => console.log(docs))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));Type declarations are available for the second argument in the source code.
const filters = [['creation', '>', '2021-10-09']];
const useCache = true; /** Default is false - Optional **/
const debug = false; /** Default is false - Optional **/
db.getCount('DocType', filters, cache, debug)
.then((count) => console.log(count))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));To create a new document, pass the name of the DocType and the fields to createDoc.
db.createDoc('My Custom DocType', {
name: 'Test',
test_field: 'This is a test field',
})
.then((doc) => console.log(doc))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));To update an existing document, pass the name of the DocType, name of the document and the fields to be updated to updateDoc.
db.updateDoc('My Custom DocType', 'Test', {
test_field: 'This is an updated test field.',
})
.then((doc) => console.log(doc))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));To create a new document, pass the name of the DocType and the name of the document to be deleted to deleteDoc.
db.deleteDoc('My Custom DocType', 'Test')
.then((response) => console.log(response.message)) // Message will be "ok"
.catch((error) => console.error(error));The library supports Typescript out of the box.
For example, to enforce type on the updateDoc method:
interface TestDoc {
test_field: string;
}
db.updateDoc<TestDoc>('My Custom DocType', 'Test', {
test_field: 'This is an updated test field.',
});The library also has an inbuilt type FrappeDoc which adds the following fields to your type declarations when you use it with the database methods:
export type FrappeDoc<T> = T & {
/** User who created the document */
owner: string;
/** Date and time when the document was created - ISO format */
creation: string;
/** Date and time when the document was last modified - ISO format */
modified: string;
/** User who last modified the document */
modified_by: string;
idx: number;
/** 0 - Saved, 1 - Submitted, 2 - Cancelled */
docstatus: 0 | 1 | 2;
parent?: any;
parentfield?: any;
parenttype?: any;
/** The primary key of the DocType table */
name: string;
};All document responses are returned as an intersection of FrappeDoc and the specified type.
const call = frappe.call();Make sure all endpoints are whitelisted (@frappe.whitelist()) in your backend
Make a GET request to your endpoint with parameters.
const searchParams = {
doctype: 'Currency',
txt: 'IN',
};
call
.get('frappe.desk.search_link', searchParams)
.then((result) => console.log(result))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));Make a POST request to your endpoint with parameters.
const updatedFields = {
doctype: 'User',
name: 'Administrator',
fieldname: 'interest',
value: 'Frappe Framework, ERPNext',
};
call
.post('frappe.client.set_value', updatedFields)
.then((result) => console.log(result))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));Make a PUT request to your endpoint with parameters.
