#RestWrapper
#Simple REST Calls for NODE/Browserify
Version: 0.0.15 I wrote this to be a simple way to communicate to REST Servers using the same syntax in my Node / Browserify applications.
It's a nice starting point for the mysterious WEB API often mentioned in FLUX tutorials.
URI can be parameterized according to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570
RestWrapper(uri, [paramDefaults], [headers]);
paramDefaults - Populate the uri template variables from payload object by prefixing an '@' in the attributes value headers - pass any default headers as an object, ex {'secretToken':123}
Examples
var Message = new RestWrapper('http://example.com/messages/{messageID}', {messageID:'@id'});
Message.get({id:123}).then(function(message){
alert(message.text);
});
or
Message.get({messageID: 123}).then(function(message){
alert(message.text);
});var newMessage = {text:"Hey, I think you're cool."};
Message.post(newMessage).then(function(message){
alert('saved' + message.id).
});
var modifiedMessage = {id:123, text:"Heeeeeey"};//messageID is set from the id in the message object
Message.put(newMessage).then(function(message){
alert('updated');
});Feel free to tack on your own methods
Message.save = function(params,payload){
if(payload.id){
return this.put(params,payload);
}else{
return this.post(params,payload);
}
};
