try {
const result = await kanvas.receiver.submitReceiverData(uuid, receiverData);
console.log('Receiver data submitted successfully:', result);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error submitting receiver data:', error);
}
Tips for using the Settings module:
- Use settings to store configuration that might change without requiring code updates.
- Ensure you have the necessary permissions when accessing or modifying settings.
- Company and user settings can be used to customize the application experience for different entities.
- App settings are global and should be used for application-wide configurations.
Error handling example:
try {
const appSettings = await kanvas.settings.getAppSettings();
// Use app settings
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to fetch app settings:', error);
// Handle the error appropriately
}
- Always handle errors using try-catch blocks.
- Use pagination for large data sets to improve performance.
- Implement proper authentication and keep tokens secure.
- Utilize custom fields for extending entity properties.
- Regularly refresh authentication tokens to maintain security.
- Use appropriate data filtering and sorting in queries.
- Implement proper access control using roles and permissions.
- Authentication Issues: Ensure your API key and tokens are correct and not expired.
- Rate Limiting: Implement proper request throttling to avoid hitting rate limits.
- Data Inconsistencies: Always validate input data before sending requests.
- Performance Issues: Use pagination and limit the amount of data requested when possible.
