CRUD Operations

Create/Update Settings

// Add new (fails if exists)
await client.addConfigurationSetting({
  key: "app:settings:message",
  value: "Hello World",
  label: "production",
  contentType: "text/plain",
  tags: { environment: "prod" },
});

// Set (create or update)
await client.setConfigurationSetting({
  key: "app:settings:message",
  value: "Updated value",
  label: "production",
});

// Update with optimistic concurrency
const existing = await client.getConfigurationSetting({ key: "myKey" });
existing.value = "new value";
await client.setConfigurationSetting(existing, { onlyIfUnchanged: true });

Read Settings

// Get single setting
const setting = await client.getConfigurationSetting({
  key: "app:settings:message",
  label: "production",  // optional
});
console.log(setting.value);

// List with filters
const settings = client.listConfigurationSettings({
  keyFilter: "app:*",
  labelFilter: "production",
});

for await (const setting of settings) {
  console.log(`${setting.key}: ${setting.value}`);
}
