{% tab title="Node.js" %}

### Prerequisites

* Completed **Setup Your Development Environment** and **Send Your First API Request**
* Node.js v18+ and npm v9+
* A valid gospace API key in your `.env` file

***

### 1) Add people

Create `add-people.ts`:

```ts
import "dotenv/config";
import GospaceAI from "@gospace-ai/api";

async function main() {
  const gospace = new GospaceAI(process.env.GOSPACE_API_KEY!);

  const res = await gospace.directory.createPeople({
    people: [
      { email: "alice@example.com", first_name: "Alice", last_name: "Smith" },
      { email: "bob@example.com", first_name: "Bob", last_name: "Nguyen" }
    ],
  });

  console.log(JSON.stringify(res.data.people, null, 2));
}

main().catch((err) => {
  console.error("Create people failed:", err);
  process.exit(1);
});
```

Run:

```bash
npx tsx add-people.ts
```

***

### 2) Add teams

Create `add-teams.ts`:

```ts
import "dotenv/config";
import GospaceAI from "@gospace-ai/api";

async function main() {
  const gospace = new GospaceAI(process.env.GOSPACE_API_KEY!);

  const res = await gospace.directory.createTeams({
    teams: [
      { team_name: "Engineering" },
      { team_name: "People Operations" }
    ],
  });

  console.log(JSON.stringify(res.data.teams, null, 2));
}

main().catch((err) => {
  console.error("Create teams failed:", err);
  process.exit(1);
});
```

Run:

```bash
npx tsx add-teams.ts
```

***

### 3) Map people to teams (add team members)

You’ll need the `team_id` values from step 2 and the `people_id` values from step 1.

Create `add-team-members.ts`:

```ts
import "dotenv/config";
import GospaceAI from "@gospace-ai/api";

const TEAM_ID = "team_123"; // replace with your real team_id

async function main() {
  const gospace = new GospaceAI(process.env.GOSPACE_API_KEY!);

  await gospace.directory.addTeamMembers(TEAM_ID, {
    members: [
      { people_id: "person_abc" },
      { people_id: "person_def" },
    ],
  });

  console.log("Members added.");
}

main().catch((err) => {
  console.error("Add team members failed:", err);
  process.exit(1);
});
```

Run:

```bash
npx tsx add-team-members.ts
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
