Beefree SDK Guidelines

Guidelines and best practices for building applications with Beefree SDK, including installation, authentication, configuration, customization, and template management.

Installation Guidelines

Package Installation

  • Install the Beefree SDK package using npm or yarn:
    npm install @beefree.io/sdk
    # or
    yarn add @beefree.io/sdk

Dependencies

  • Beefree SDK requires the following core dependencies:
    {
      "dependencies": {
        "@beefree.io/sdk": "^9.0.2-fix-optional-url-config.0",
        "axios": "^1.10.0",
        "express": "^5.1.0",
        "cors": "^2.8.5",
        "dotenv": "^17.2.0"
      }
    }

Environment Setup

  • Create a .env file in your project root with your Beefree credentials:
    BEE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
    BEE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here

Authentication Guidelines

Proxy Server Setup

  • ALWAYS use a proxy server for authentication to protect your credentials
  • Create a proxy server file (e.g., proxy-server.js) to handle authentication:
    import express from 'express';
    import cors from 'cors';
    import axios from 'axios';
    import dotenv from 'dotenv';
    
    dotenv.config();
    
    const app = express();
    const PORT = 3001;
    
    app.use(cors());
    app.use(express.json());
    
    const BEE_CLIENT_ID = process.env.BEE_CLIENT_ID;
    const BEE_CLIENT_SECRET = process.env.BEE_CLIENT_SECRET;
    
    // V2 Auth Endpoint
    app.post('/proxy/bee-auth', async (req, res) => {
      try {
        const { uid } = req.body;
        
        const response = await axios.post(
          'https://auth.getbee.io/loginV2',
          {
            client_id: BEE_CLIENT_ID,
            client_secret: BEE_CLIENT_SECRET,
            uid: uid || 'demo-user'
          },
          { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }
        );
        
        res.json(response.data);
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('Auth error:', error.message);
        res.status(500).json({ error: 'Failed to authenticate' });
      }
    });
    
    app.listen(PORT, () => {
      console.log(`Proxy server running on http://localhost:${PORT}`);
    });

Authentication Process

  • Use the V2 authentication endpoint: https://auth.getbee.io/loginV2
  • Pass the ENTIRE API response to the Beefree SDK, not just the token
  • Example authentication call:
    const token = await fetch('http://localhost:3001/proxy/bee-auth', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ uid: 'demo-user' })
    }).then(res => res.json());

Container Setup Guidelines

HTML Container

  • Create a dedicated container element for the Beefree SDK:
    <div id="beefree-sdk-container"></div>

CSS Styling

  • Style the container to ensure proper display:
    #beefree-sdk-container {
      position: absolute;
      top: 0px;
      bottom: 0px;
      left: 0px;
      right: 0px;
      height: 600px;
      width: 90%;
      margin: 20px auto;
      border: 1px solid #ddd;
      border-radius: 8px;
    }

React Container

  • For React applications, the following code snippet shows an example using refs to manage the container:
    const containerRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
    
    return (
      <div
        id="beefree-react-demo"
        ref={containerRef}
        style={{
          height: '600px',
          width: '90%',
          margin: '20px auto',
          border: '1px solid #ddd',
          borderRadius: '8px'
        }}
      />
    );

Configuration Guidelines

Required Configuration Parameters

  • ALWAYS include the container parameter in your configuration:
    const beeConfig = {
      container: 'beefree-sdk-container', // Required
      language: 'en-US'
    };

Optional Configuration Parameters

  • Customize your SDK with optional parameters:
    const beeConfig = {
      container: 'beefree-sdk-container', // Required
      language: 'en-US',
      specialLinks: [
        {
          type: "unsubscribe",
          label: "Unsubscribe",
          link: "http://[unsubscribe]/",
        },
        {
          type: "subscribe",
          label: "Subscribe",
          link: "http://[subscribe]/",
        },
      ],
      mergeTags: [
        {
          name: "First Name",
          value: "[first_name]",
        },
        {
          name: "Last Name",
          value: "[last_name]",
        },
        {
          name: "Email",
          value: "[email]",
        },
      ]
    };

Callback Functions

  • Implement essential callback functions for proper functionality:
    const beeConfig = {
      container: 'beefree-sdk-container',
      onSave: function (jsonFile, htmlFile) {
        console.log("Template saved:", jsonFile);
        // Implement custom save logic here
      },
      onAutoSave: function (jsonFile) {
        console.log("Auto-saving template...");
        localStorage.setItem("email.autosave", jsonFile);
      },
      onSend: function (htmlFile) {
        console.log("Email ready to send:", htmlFile);
        // Implement custom send logic here
      },
      onError: function (errorMessage) {
        console.error("Beefree SDK error:", errorMessage);
        // Handle errors appropriately
      }
    };

SDK Initialization Guidelines

Basic Initialization

  • Initialize the Beefree SDK with proper error handling:
    async function initializeBeefree(authResponse) {
      try {
        const bee = new BeefreeSDK(authResponse);
        bee.start(beeConfig, {});
        console.log('Beefree SDK initialized successfully');
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('Failed to initialize Beefree SDK:', error);
      }
    }

React Integration

  • For React applications, the following code snippet shows an example using useEffect for initialization:
    useEffect(() => {
      async function initializeEditor() {
        const beeConfig = {
          container: 'beefree-react-demo',
          language: 'en-US',
          onSave: (pageJson: string, pageHtml: string, ampHtml: string | null, templateVersion: number, language: string | null) => {
            console.log('Saved!', { pageJson, pageHtml, ampHtml, templateVersion, language });
          },
          onError: (error: unknown) => {
            console.error('Error:', error);
          }
        };
    
        const token = await fetch('http://localhost:3001/proxy/bee-auth', {
          method: 'POST',
          headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
          body: JSON.stringify({ uid: 'demo-user' })
        }).then(res => res.json());
    
        const bee = new BeefreeSDK(token);
        bee.start(beeConfig, {});
      }
    
      initializeEditor();
    }, []);

Template Loading Guidelines

Loading Templates

  • Use the start() method with template data to load existing templates:
    // Load template from localStorage
    const selectedTemplate = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('currentEmailData'));
    
    if (selectedTemplate) {
      beefreeSDKInstance.start(selectedTemplate);
      console.log('Loaded template from localStorage');
    } else {
      // Start with empty template
                beefreeSDKInstance.start();
            console.log('Started with empty template');
    }

Template Storage

  • Store templates in localStorage for persistence while testing:
    // Save template data
    localStorage.setItem('currentEmailData', JSON.stringify(templateData));
    localStorage.setItem('currentEmailName', emailName);
    
    // Load template data
    const emailData = localStorage.getItem('currentEmailData');
    const emailName = localStorage.getItem('currentEmailName');

Autosave Functionality

  • Implement autosave to prevent data loss:
    onAutoSave: function (jsonFile) {
      console.log("Auto-saving template...");
      localStorage.setItem("email.autosave", jsonFile);
    }

HTML Import Guidelines

HTML Importer API

  • Use the HTML Importer API to convert existing HTML templates to Beefree SDK format
  • API endpoint: https://api.getbee.io/v1/conversion/html-to-json
  • Reference: HTML Importer API Documentation

Import Process

  • Convert HTML templates to Beefree SDK’s native JSON format:
    const response = await fetch('https://api.getbee.io/v1/conversion/html-to-json', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        "Authorization": "Bearer Enter Dev Console API Key as Bearer token",
        "Content-Type": "text/html"
      },
      body: "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><h1>Hello World</h1></body></html>"
    }); 
    const data = await response.json();

Loading Imported Templates

  • Load imported templates into the Beefree SDK:
    const importedTemplate = await importHtmlTemplate(htmlContent);
    beefreeSDK.start(importedTemplate);

Error Handling Guidelines

onError Callback

  • ALWAYS implement the onError callback to handle SDK errors:
    onError: function (errorMessage) {
      console.error("Beefree SDK error:", errorMessage);
      // Display user-friendly error message
      document.getElementById('beefree-sdk-container').innerHTML = 
        '<div class="error">Error loading Beefree SDK: ' + errorMessage.message + '</div>';
    }

Authentication Error Handling

  • Handle authentication failures gracefully:
    function getBeeToken(callback) {
      fetch('/api/beefree/auth', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
        body: JSON.stringify({ uid: beeConfig.uid })
      })
      .then(response => {
        if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Auth failed: ' + response.status);
        return response.json();
      })
      .then(data => {
        callback(data);
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error('Error getting Beefree token:', error);
        document.getElementById('beefree-sdk-container').innerHTML = 
          '<div class="error">Failed to authenticate with Beefree. Please check your credentials and try again.</div>';
      });
    }

Template Change Tracking Guidelines

Track Message Changes

Change Detection

  • Use the onChange callback to track template changes:
    onChange: function (jsonFile, response) {
    console.log('json', jsonFile);
    console.log('response', response);
      },

Customization Guidelines

UI Customization

Customize the Beefree SDK appearance with:

Language Customization

  • Set the language for internationalization:
    const beeConfig = {
      container: 'beefree-sdk-container',
      language: 'en-US', // or 'es-ES', 'fr-FR', etc.
    };
  • Configure merge tags and special links for email personalization:
    const beeConfig = {
      container: 'beefree-sdk-container',
      mergeTags: [
        { name: "First Name", value: "[first_name]" },
        { name: "Last Name", value: "[last_name]" },
        { name: "Email", value: "[email]" },
        { name: "Company", value: "[company]" }
      ],
      specialLinks: [
        { type: "unsubscribe", label: "Unsubscribe", link: "http://[unsubscribe]/" },
        { type: "subscribe", label: "Subscribe", link: "http://[subscribe]/" },
        { type: "webview", label: "View in Browser", link: "http://[webview]/" }
      ]
    };

Other Customizations

Reference the official Beefree SDK technical documentation for a comprehnsive reference of possible customizations.

Best Practices

Performance Optimization

  • Initialize the Beefree SDK only when it is actually needed in your application.
  • Properly clean up SDK resources when they are no longer required (e.g., when navigating away or closing the editor).
  • Handle errors gracefully to prevent application crashes or unexpected behavior.

Security

  • Never expose your Beefree SDK client credentials in any frontend or public code.
  • Always use a secure backend or proxy server to handle authentication and sensitive operations.
  • Validate and sanitize all user inputs before passing them to the SDK to prevent security vulnerabilities.

User Experience

  • Show appropriate loading indicators while the SDK is initializing or performing operations.
  • Display clear and helpful error messages to users if something goes wrong.
  • Implement automatic saving or progress tracking to prevent data loss.

Code Organization

  • Keep SDK configuration separate from initialization and business logic for better maintainability.
  • Use strong typing (e.g., TypeScript or similar) where possible to improve code safety and clarity.
  • Ensure robust error handling throughout your integration, regardless of the tech stack or framework used.
