⚡ Quick Start

Get up and running in minutes with this complete example:

using DealCloudSDK;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

// Configure your credentials (see Security section for best practices)
var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
    .Build();

// Optional: Add structured logging
using var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder => builder
    .AddConsole()
    .SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Information));
var logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<Program>();

// Initialize the DealCloud client
var dealCloud = new Client(config, logger);

try
{
    // Discover your schema
    var entryTypes = await dealCloud.Schema.GetObjects();
    Console.WriteLine($"Available objects: {string.Join(", ", entryTypes.Select(e => e.Name))}");

    // Read data from any object
    var companies = await dealCloud.Data.ReadObject("Company", new() { Limit = 10 });
    Console.WriteLine($"Found {companies.TotalRecords} companies");

    // Create new records
    var newCompany = new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        ["CompanyName"] = "Acme Corporation",
        ["Industry"] = "Technology"
    };

    var result = await dealCloud.Data.Insert("Company", new[] { newCompany });
    Console.WriteLine($"Created company with ID: {result.EntryIds.First()}");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    logger.LogError(ex, "An error occurred");
}

🔐 Authentication & Security

Direct Initialization (Development)

var client = new Client(
    siteUrl: "yoursite.dealcloud.com",
    clientId: 12345,
    clientSecret: "your-secret",
    logger: logger
);

⚠️ Security Warning: Never hardcode credentials in production code or commit them to version control.

Configuration-Based Setup (Recommended)

appsettings.json:

{
  "siteUrl": "yoursite.dealcloud.com",
  "clientId": 12345,
  "clientSecret": "your-secret"
}

Application Code:

var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
    .AddEnvironmentVariables() // Override with environment variables
    .Build();

var client = new Client(config, logger);

Environment Variables

For production deployments, use environment variables:

export DEALCLOUD_SITE_URL="yoursite.dealcloud.com"
export DEALCLOUD_CLIENT_ID="12345"
export DEALCLOUD_CLIENT_SECRET="your-secret"

Advanced Configuration

{
  "siteUrl": "yoursite.dealcloud.com",
  "clientId": 12345,
  "clientSecret": "your-secret",
  "querySettings": {
    "pageSize": 1000,
    "cellPaginationLimit": 9000,
    "deletePageSize": 10000
  },
  "concurrencyLimits": {
    "read": 2,
    "delete": 2,
    "create": 2
  },
  "responseRetrySettings": {
    "tooManyRequests": 5,
    "internalServerError": 2,
    "serviceUnavailable": 2,
    "backoffFactor": 2
  }
}

📊 Usage Examples

Schema Discovery

Discover and understand your DealCloud site's structure:

// Get all available objects (EntryTypes)
var entryTypes = await client.Schema.GetObjects();
foreach (var entryType in entryTypes)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Object: {entryType.Name} (ID: {entryType.Id})");
}

// Get fields for a specific object
var companyFields = await client.Schema.GetFields("Company");
foreach (var field in companyFields)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Field: {field.Name} - Type: {field.FieldType}");
}

// Get complete schema in one call
var schema = await client.Schema.GetSchema();
Console.WriteLine($"Site has {schema.EntryTypes.Count} objects and {schema.Fields.Count} fields");

Data Operations

Reading Data

// Read all companies with pagination
var companies = await client.Data.ReadObject("Company", new CellsQuerySettings
{
    Limit = 100,
    Skip = 0
});

Console.WriteLine($"Found {companies.TotalRecords} total companies");
foreach (var company in companies.Rows)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Company: {company["CompanyName"]}");
}

// Read data from a specific view
var viewData = await client.Data.ReadView("MyCompanyView");

Creating Data

// Create single record
var newCompany = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    ["CompanyName"] = "Tech Corp",
    ["Industry"] = "Technology",
    ["Revenue"] = 1000000
};

var result = await client.Data.Insert("Company", new[] { newCompany });
Console.WriteLine($"Created company with ID: {result.EntryIds.First()}");

// Bulk create
var companies = new[]
{
    new Dictionary<string, object> { ["CompanyName"] = "Corp A" },
    new Dictionary<string, object> { ["CompanyName"] = "Corp B" },
    new Dictionary<string, object> { ["CompanyName"] = "Corp C" }
};

var bulkResult = await client.Data.Insert("Company", companies);
Console.WriteLine($"Created {bulkResult.EntryIds.Count} companies");

Updating Data

// Update existing record
var updates = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    ["Revenue"] = 2000000,
    ["LastUpdated"] = DateTime.UtcNow
};

await client.Data.Update("Company", 12345, updates);

// Upsert (update if exists, create if not)
var upsertData = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    ["CompanyName"] = "Unique Corp", // Used for matching
    ["Revenue"] = 1500000
};

await client.Data.Upsert("Company", new[] { upsertData });

🛠️ Advanced Features

Custom Retry Policies

{
  "responseRetrySettings": {
    "tooManyRequests": 10,     // Retry 429 errors up to 10 times
    "internalServerError": 3,   // Retry 500 errors up to 3 times
    "serviceUnavailable": 3,    // Retry 503 errors up to 3 times
    "backoffFactor": 3          // 3x exponential backoff (3s, 9s, 27s...)
  }
}

Performance Tuning

{
  "querySettings": {
    "pageSize": 5000,           // Larger pages for fewer API calls
    "cellPaginationLimit": 15000, // Higher cell limits for wide objects
    "deletePageSize": 5000      // Bulk delete size
  },
  "concurrencyLimits": {
    "read": 5,                  // Parallel read operations
    "create": 3,                // Parallel create operations
    "delete": 2                 // Parallel delete operations
  }
}

Field Mapping & ID Resolution

// Automatic ID mapping (default: enabled)
var client = new Client(config, logger, autoIdMapping: true);

// When enabled, you can use names instead of IDs:
var data = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    ["CompanyType"] = "Public Company",  // SDK resolves to ID automatically
    ["Industry"] = "Technology"          // SDK resolves to ID automatically
};

await client.Data.Insert("Company", new[] { data });

🚨 Error Handling

The SDK provides comprehensive error handling with automatic retries:

try
{
    var result = await client.Data.Insert("Company", data);
}
catch (HttpRequestException ex) when (ex.Message.Contains("401"))
{
    // Authentication failed - check credentials
    logger.LogError("Authentication failed: {Error}", ex.Message);
}
catch (HttpRequestException ex) when (ex.Message.Contains("403"))
{
    // Permission denied - check user permissions
    logger.LogError("Access denied: {Error}", ex.Message);
}
catch (HttpRequestException ex) when (ex.Message.Contains("429"))
{
    // Rate limited - this should be rare due to auto-retry
    logger.LogWarning("Rate limit exceeded: {Error}", ex.Message);
}
catch (ArgumentException ex)
{
    // Invalid field names or object types
    logger.LogError("Validation error: {Error}", ex.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Unexpected errors
    logger.LogError(ex, "Unexpected error occurred");
}
