const client = new ConfluenceClient({
  host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
  authentication: {
    basic: {
      email: 'your@email.com',
      apiToken: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN', // Create one: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
    },
  },
});

async function createSpace() {
  const space = await client.space.createSpace({
    name: 'Project Galaxy',

}

createSpace();

Usage

Authentication

Basic Authentication

Create an API token: Atlassian Account Settings
Configure the client:

const client = new ConfluenceClient({
  host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
  authentication: {
    basic: {
      email: 'YOUR@EMAIL.ORG',
      apiToken: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
    },
  },
});

OAuth 2.0

Implement OAuth 2.0 flow using Atlassian's documentation:

const client = new ConfluenceClient({
  host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
  authentication: {
    oauth2: {
      accessToken: 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    },
  },
});

JWT

For server-to-server integration:

const client = new ConfluenceClient({
  host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
  authentication: {
    jwt: {
      issuer: 'your-client-id',
      secret: 'your-secret-key',
      expiryTimeSeconds: 180,
    },
  },
});

First Request

Create a page in an existing space:

const page = await client.content.createContent({
  title: 'Project Overview',
  type: 'page',
  space: { key: 'GALAXY' },
  body: {
    storage: {
      value: '<p>Welcome to our project documentation</p>',
      representation: 'storage',
    },
  },
});

console.log(`Page created: ${page.title}`);

API Structure

Access endpoints using client.<group>.<method> pattern:

// Get space details
const space = await client.space.getSpace({ spaceKey: 'GALAXY' });

// Search content
const results = await client.search.search({ cql: 'title~"Project"' });

🔽 Available API Groups

Custom API Prefix

For custom API endpoints:

const client = new ConfluenceClient({
  host: 'https://custom-domain.com',
  apiPrefix: '/confluence-api', // Default: '/wiki/rest/api'
});

Tree Shaking

Optimize bundle size by importing only needed modules:

// custom-client.ts
import { BaseClient } from 'confluence.js';
import { Content } from 'confluence.js/api/content';
import { Space } from 'confluence.js/api/space';

export class CustomClient extends BaseClient {
  content = new Content(this);
  space = new Space(this);
}

// Usage
const client = new CustomClient({ /* config */ });
await client.space.getSpace({ spaceKey: 'GALAXY' });
