Stringboot works seamlessly with Vanilla JavaScript and TypeScript, providing a powerful API for managing dynamic content.

​
Basic Usage

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>StringBoot Example</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1 id="title"></h1>
  <p id="description"></p>
  <button id="languageToggle">Switch to Spanish</button>

  <script type="module">
    import StringBoot from '@stringboot/web-sdk';

    // Initialize
    await StringBoot.initialize({
      apiToken: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
      baseUrl: 'https://api.stringboot.com',
      defaultLanguage: 'en'
    });

    // Update UI with strings
    async function updateUI() {
      const title = await StringBoot.get('page_title');
      const description = await StringBoot.get('page_description');

      document.getElementById('title').textContent = title;
      document.getElementById('description').textContent = description;
    }

    // Initial render
    await updateUI();

    // Language switcher
    document.getElementById('languageToggle').addEventListener('click', async () => {
      const currentLang = StringBoot.getCurrentLanguage();
      const newLang = currentLang === 'en' ? 'es' : 'en';

      await StringBoot.changeLanguage(newLang);
      await updateUI();

      document.getElementById('languageToggle').textContent =
        newLang === 'en' ? 'Switch to Spanish' : 'Cambiar a Inglés';
    });
  </script>
</body>
</html>

​
TypeScript Integration

For TypeScript users, StringBoot provides built-in type definitions for enhanced type safety. 
import StringBoot from '@stringboot/web-sdk';

interface Config {
  apiToken: string;
  baseUrl: string;
  defaultLanguage: string;
  cacheSize?: number;
}

async function initializeApp(config: Config): Promise<void> {
  await StringBoot.initialize(config);

  // Type-safe string retrieval
  const welcomeMessage: string = await StringBoot.get('welcome_message');
  console.log(welcomeMessage);
}

// Usage
await initializeApp({
  apiToken: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
  baseUrl: 'https://api.stringboot.com',
  defaultLanguage: 'en',
  cacheSize: 1000
});

​
Event Listeners

You can subscribe to various events to react to changes in the SDK state.

​
Language Changes

// Language change event
const unsubscribe = StringBoot.onLanguageChange((newLanguage) => {
  console.log(`Language changed to: ${newLanguage}`);
  updateUIForLanguage(newLanguage);
});

// Cleanup when done
unsubscribe();

​
String Updates

Watch specific strings for real-time updates. This is useful for building reactive UIs without a framework. 
// String update event (watch specific string)
const unwatch = StringBoot.watch('welcome_message', (newValue) => {
  console.log('String updated:', newValue);
  document.getElementById('title').textContent = newValue;
});

// Cleanup when done
unwatch();

​
Dynamic String Loading

You can load strings sequentially or in parallel depending on your application’s needs. 
// Load multiple strings sequentially
async function loadProductDetails(productId) {
  const name = await StringBoot.get(`product_${productId}_name`);
  const description = await StringBoot.get(`product_${productId}_description`);
  const price = await StringBoot.get(`product_${productId}_price`);

  return { name, description, price };
}

// Or load in parallel for better performance
async function loadProductDetailsParallel(productId) {
  const [name, description, price] = await Promise.all([
    StringBoot.get(`product_${productId}_name`),
    StringBoot.get(`product_${productId}_description`),
    StringBoot.get(`product_${productId}_price`)
  ]);

  return { name, description, price };
}

// Usage
const product = await loadProductDetails(123);
