 # Localess JavaScript / TypeScript Client SDK
 
-This client SDK is designed to work with the Localess API. It provides a simple way to interact with the Localess API from your JavaScript or TypeScript application.
+The `@localess/client` package is the core JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for the [Localess](https://github.com/Lessify/localess) headless CMS platform. It provides a type-safe API client for fetching content, translations, and assets, along with Visual Editor integration utilities.
 
-> **Important:** 
-> The Client is designed to be used on the server side only, as it requires your **Localess API Token** to be kept secret.
-> Do not use this client in your frontend application, as it exposes your API Token to the public.
+> **⚠️ Security Notice:**
+> This SDK is designed for **server-side use only**. It requires a Localess API Token that must be kept secret.
+> Never use this package in browser/client-side code, as it would expose your API token to the public.
+> In React applications, always fetch data server-side (e.g., Next.js Server Components, API routes, or server-side rendering).
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js >= 20.0.0
 
 ## Installation
 
-### NPM
-````bash
-npm install @localess/client@latest
-````
+```bash

+pnpm add @localess/client
+```
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Initializing the Client
+
+```ts
+import { localessClient } from "@localess/client";
+
+const client = localessClient({
+  origin: 'https://my-localess.web.app', // Fully qualified domain with protocol
+  spaceId: 'YOUR_SPACE_ID',              // Found in Localess Space settings
+  token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',               // Found in Localess Space settings (keep secret!)
+});
+```
+
+### Client Options
+
+| Option | Type | Required | Default | Description |

+
+---
 
-### Yarn
-````bash
-yarn add @localess/client@latest
-````
+## Fetching Content
 
-## Client
+### `getContentBySlug<T>(slug, params?)`
 
-````ts
-import {localessClient} from "@localess/client";
+Fetch a content document by its slug path. Supports generic typing for full type safety.
 
-const llClient = localessClient({
-  // A fully qualified domain name with protocol (http/https) and port.
-  origin: 'https://my-localess.web.app',
-  // Localess space ID, cna be found in the Localess Space settings
-  spaceId: 'I1LoVe2LocaLess4Rever',
-  // Localess API token, can be found in the Localess Space settings
-  token: 'Baz00KaT0KeN8S3CureLL'
+```ts
+// Basic usage
+const content = await client.getContentBySlug('docs/overview');
+
+// With type safety (requires generated types from @localess/cli)
+import type { Page } from './.localess/localess';
+
+const content = await client.getContentBySlug<Page>('home', {
+  locale: 'en',
+  resolveReference: true,
+  resolveLink: true,
 });
+```
+
+### `getContentById<T>(id, params?)`
+
+Fetch a content document by its unique ID. Accepts the same parameters as `getContentBySlug`.
+
+```ts
+const content = await client.getContentById<Page>('FRnIT7CUABoRCdSVVGGs', {
+  locale: 'de',
+  version: 'draft',
+});
+```
+
+### Content Fetch Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `version` | `'draft' \| string` | Client default | Override the client's default content version |
+| `locale` | `string` | — | ISO 639-1 locale code (e.g., `'en'`, `'de'`) |
+| `resolveReference` | `boolean` | `false` | Resolve content references inline |
+| `resolveLink` | `boolean` | `false` | Resolve content links inline |
+
+---
+
+## Fetching Content Links
+
+### `getLinks(params?)`
+
+Fetch all content links from the space, optionally filtered by type or parent.
+
+```ts
+// Fetch all links
+const links = await client.getLinks();
+
+// Fetch only documents under a specific parent
+const legalLinks = await client.getLinks({
+  kind: 'DOCUMENT',
+  parentSlug: 'legal',
+  excludeChildren: false,
+});
+```
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `kind` | `'DOCUMENT' \| 'FOLDER'` | Filter results by content kind |
+| `parentSlug` | `string` | Filter by parent slug (e.g., `'legal/policy'`) |
+| `excludeChildren` | `boolean` | When `true`, excludes nested sub-slugs from results |
+
+---
+
+## Fetching Translations
+
+### `getTranslations(locale)`
+
+Fetch all translations for a given locale. Returns a flat key-value map.
+
+```ts
+const translations = await client.getTranslations('en');
+// { "common.submit": "Submit", "nav.home": "Home", ... }
+```
+
+---
+
+## Assets
+
+### `assetLink(asset)`
+
+Generate a fully qualified URL for a content asset.
+
+```ts
+import { localessClient } from "@localess/client";
+
+const client = localessClient({ origin, spaceId, token });
+
+// From a ContentAsset object
+const url = client.assetLink(content.data.image);
+
+// From a URI string
+const url = client.assetLink('/spaces/abc/assets/photo.jpg');
+```
+
+---
+
+## Visual Editor Integration
+
+### `loadLocalessSync(origin, force?)`
+
+Injects the Localess Visual Editor sync script into the document `<head>`. This enables live-editing capabilities when your site is opened inside the Localess Visual Editor.
+
+```ts
+import { loadLocalessSync } from "@localess/client";
+
+loadLocalessSync('https://my-localess.web.app');
+
+// Force injection even when not running inside an iframe
+loadLocalessSync('https://my-localess.web.app', true);
+```
+
+### `syncScriptUrl()`
+
+Returns the URL of the Localess sync script, useful for manual script injection.
+
+```ts
+const scriptUrl = client.syncScriptUrl();
+```
+
+### Marking Editable Content
+
+Use these helpers to add Localess editable attributes to your HTML elements, enabling element selection and highlighting in the Visual Editor.
+
+#### `localessEditable(content)`
+
+Marks a content block as editable.
+
+```ts
+import { localessEditable } from "@localess/client";
+
+// Returns: { 'data-ll-id': '...', 'data-ll-schema': '...' }
+<section {...localessEditable(content.data)}>...</section>
+```
+
+#### `localessEditableField<T>(fieldName)`
+
+Marks a specific field within a content block as editable, with type-safe field name inference.
+
+```ts
+import { localessEditableField } from "@localess/client";
+
+// Returns: { 'data-ll-field': 'title' }
+<h1 {...localessEditableField<MyPage>('title')}>...</h1>
+```
+
+> **Deprecated:** `llEditable()` and `llEditableField()` are deprecated aliases. Use `localessEditable()` and `localessEditableField()` instead.
+
+---
+
+## Listening to Visual Editor Events
+
+When your application is loaded inside the Localess Visual Editor, you can subscribe to editing events via `window.localess`.
+
+```ts
+if (window.localess) {
+  // Subscribe to a single event
+  window.localess.on('change', (event) => {
+    if (event.type === 'change') {
+      setPageData(event.data);
+    }
+  });
+
+  // Subscribe to multiple events
+  window.localess.on(['input', 'change'], (event) => {
+    if (event.type === 'input' || event.type === 'change') {
+      setPageData(event.data);
+    }
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Available Event Types
+
+| Event | Payload | Description |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| `input` | `{ type: 'input', data: any }` | Fired while a field is being edited (real-time) |
+| `change` | `{ type: 'change', data: any }` | Fired after a field value is confirmed |
+| `save` | `{ type: 'save' }` | Fired when content is saved |
+| `publish` | `{ type: 'publish' }` | Fired when content is published |
+| `pong` | `{ type: 'pong' }` | Heartbeat response from the editor |
+| `enterSchema` | `{ type: 'enterSchema', id, schema, field? }` | Fired when hovering over a schema element |
+| `hoverSchema` | `{ type: 'hoverSchema', id, schema, field? }` | Fired when entering a schema element |
+
+---
+
+## Caching
+
+All API responses are cached by default using a TTL (time-to-live) cache. You can configure caching when initializing the client.
+
+```ts
+// Default: 5-minute TTL cache
+const client = localessClient({ origin, spaceId, token });
+
+// Custom TTL (e.g., 10 minutes)
+const client = localessClient({ origin, spaceId, token, cacheTTL: 600000 });
+
+// Disable caching entirely
+const client = localessClient({ origin, spaceId, token, cacheTTL: false });
+```
+
+---
