Flatfile Listeners Tutorial Code

This repository contains companion code for the Flatfile Coding Tutorial, providing working examples that demonstrate how to build powerful data import listeners step by step.

How This Repository Works

This repository is designed to be used alongside the tutorial. The tutorial progressively walks you through building a complete listener, and this repository provides the corresponding code for each step.

Each folder represents a different stage in the tutorial:

• 101.01-first-listener/ - Learn the basics: space configuration and workbook setup
• 101.02-adding-validation/ - Add data validation with real-time feedback
• 101.03-adding-actions/ - Create interactive workflows with submit actions

Prerequisites

• Basic JavaScript or TypeScript knowledge
• Node.js and npm installed (latest LTS version recommended)

Getting Started

1. Follow the tutorial for step-by-step instructions
2. Use the code in each folder as reference or as a starting point
3. Each folder contains both TypeScript and JavaScript versions for your preference

Structure

Each example folder contains:

• typescript/ - TypeScript source code with full type safety
• javascript/ - JavaScript version for those preferring vanilla JS

Tutorial Progression

The tutorial teaches you to build a complete data import solution by:

1. Starting simple - Basic space and workbook configuration
2. Adding intelligence - Email validation and error handling
3. Creating workflows - Submit actions and data processing

By the end, you'll have a production-ready listener that can handle real-world data import scenarios.
