| 3 | +## Contentstack Management JavaScript SDK |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Contentstack is a headless CMS with an API-first approach. It is a CMS that developers can use to build powerful cross-platform applications in their favorite languages. Build your application frontend, and Contentstack will take care of the rest. [Read More](https://www.contentstack.com/). |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This SDK use Content Management API(CMA). The Content Management API (CMA) is used to manage the content of your Contentstack account. This includes creating, updating, deleting, and fetching content of your account. To use the Content Management API, you will need to authenticate yourself with a [Management Token](https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/create-tokens/about-management-tokens) or an [Authtoken](https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/apis/content-management-api/#how-to-get-authtoken). Read more about it in [Authentication](https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/apis/content-management-api/#authentication). |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Note: The Content Management APIs also include many GET requests. However, it is highly recommended that you always use the [Content Delivery API](https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/apis/content-delivery-api/) to deliver content to your web or mobile properties. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### Prerequisite |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +You need Node.js version 10 or later installed to use the Contentstack JavaScript CMA SDK. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +### Installation |
| 16 | +#### Node |
| 17 | +Install it via npm: |
| 18 | +```bash |
| 19 | +npm i contentstack-management |
| 20 | +``` |
| 21 | +To import the SDK, use the following command: |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | +import contentstack from ‘contentstack-mangement’ |
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | +To initialize the SDK, you will need to pass ```axios``` instance |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | +import axios from 'axios' |
| 28 | +contentstackClient = contentstack.client(axios, {}) |
| 29 | +``` |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### Authentication |
| 32 | +To use this SDK you need to authenticate using the user Authtoken, creadentials, or Management Token (stack-level token). |
| 33 | +### Authtoken |
| 34 | +An **Authtoken** is a read-write token used to make authorized CMA requests, and it is a **user-specific** token. |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | +import axios from 'axios' |
| 37 | +contentstackClient = contentstack.client(axios, { authtoken: 'AUTHTOKEN' }) |
| 38 | +``` |
| 39 | +### Login |
| 40 | +To Login to Contentstack using credentials: |
| 41 | +``` |
| 42 | +contentstackClient.login({ email: 'EMAIL', password: 'PASSWORD'}) |
| 43 | +..then((response) => { |
| 44 | + console.log(response.notice) |
| 45 | + console.log(response.user) |
| 46 | +}) |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### Management Token |
| 50 | +**Management Tokens** are **stack-level** tokens, with no users attached to them. |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | +contentstackClient.stack('API_KEY', 'MANAGEMENT_TOKEN') |
| 53 | +.fetch() |
| 54 | +.then((stack) => { |
| 55 | + console.log(stack) |
| 56 | +}) |
| 57 | +``` |
