init

connector.init(fn)

Used to initialize your connector.

Takes a function with an object as a parameter. The object contains the following property:

Parameter	Description
`options`	Object that contains the configuration values set for options defined using `defineOptions` in `addConnector`.

The function returns an object containing initialization state that you can use throughout your connector.

connector.init(({ options }) => {
  const apiClient = new CustomCMSAPIClient({
    url: options.apiURL,
    token: options.apiToken,
  });

  return {
    apiClient // this will be available as state.apiClient in other connector APIs
  };
});

Note that the returned state object is specific to each connector instance. If a data layer contains multiple instances of your connector, each will run its own connector.init(fn) lifecycle with the relevant configuration options for that instance and store its own state object.
