SDK Reference
Client
The Client
is an optional Class you can pass to the serve
function to override some global settings.
By default, we will inject a new instance of the Client
class in your serve
method with the following defaults:
Client Interface
secretKey
string
default: "process.env.NOVU_SECRET_KEY"Your Novu Secret Key, used to sign the HMAC header to guarantee the authenticity of our requests.
strictAuthentication
boolean
default: "process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'development'"This bypasses the HMAC signature verification, required for local development and testing against Local Studio.
Environment Variables
Unless specified in the Client
constructor the Client
class will look for the following environment variables:
NOVU_SECRET_KEY
- Your Novu Secret KeyNOVU_API_URL
- Defaults tohttps://api.novu.co
. For EU customers, this should be set tohttps://eu.api.novu.co
.
Development Environment
When your service is running in development mode process.env.NODE_ENV=development
, the following rules will auto apply:
strictAuthentication
will be set tofalse
.
Code Example
import { Client } from "@novu/framework";
const client = new Client({
secretKey: "my-secret-key",
strictAuthentication: false,
});
