SDK SDK SDK. So many SDKs! Help me understand if I’m wrong.

 

  1. Software development kit https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/introduction-to-the-sdk - Last commit: 1 month ago
  2. JavaScript SDK https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/monday-code-javascript-sdk - Last commit: 9 months ago
  3. API SDK https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/docs/api-sdk - Last commit: 1 week ago

 

Seems like the last one is the most actively maintained but I still cannot trust it because there are so many SDKs! Which one should be my go to and how do I know a new one is not going to be created without me knowing? Are these for different purposes and all are actively maintained (serously doubt it)?

Short answer, they are used for different purposes.

 

This one is your go to - https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mondaydotcomorg/api

It has Typescript support and works with both client side (seamless auth) and OAuth/API tokens. This is used to interact with the GraphQL API endpoints. I.e this - https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/reference/about-the-api-reference

 

https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/introduction-to-the-sdk.- This one is soon to be deprecated I believe, and I think has been blocked from server side API calls.

 

https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/monday-code-javascript-sdk- This one is for your monday code/apps framework features that aren’t API related. I.e. Secure storage, Environment variables, etc… I.e. this - https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/hosting-your-app-with-monday-code

@mitchell.hudson Thank you very much for the response.

So if I’m understanding correctly all of these used to be one sdk and as that one is deprecating it is split into 2 new SDKs that will be maintained from now on instead.

@willsamadi Yeah basically, some differences under the hood I believe but the 2 new ones are the ones that will be maintained.

@mitchell.hudson Hi!
Coming back to this again.

Seems like monday-sdk-js still can’t be dropped because of .get() functions for fetching data from monday iframes.

Is there an alternative for this in the new methods? And I cannot find an announcement for that sdk’s deprication either.

THANKS!
