Synopsis

Aias.js is an open source promise and observable based HTTP client ES6 library. It includes features like "audiobuffer" response type, comprehensive error handling and logging.

Motivation

The main purpose of this library is to provide a simple tool for sending asynchronous HTTP (Ajax) requests.

Installation

NPM

$ npm install @lcluber/aiasjs

Yarn

$ yarn add @lcluber/aiasjs

Usage

ES6

import { HTTP } from "@lcluber/aiasjs";

const scientist = {
  firstname: "Galileo",
  lastname: "Galilei",
  born: 1564,
  died: 1642
};

// Set headers globally
HTTP.setHeaders("POST", { "Content-Type": "application/json" }); // Default setting for POST requests
HTTP.setHeaders("GET", { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" }); // Default setting for GET requests

// example for authorization headers :
var bearer = `Bearer ${token}`; // where token is your json web token 
HTTP.setHeaders("GET", { Authorization: bearer });
HTTP.setHeaders("POST", { Authorization: bearer });
HTTP.setHeaders("PATCH", { Authorization: bearer });
HTTP.setHeaders("PUT", { Authorization: bearer });

// Using promises

// POST request using promise
HTTP.promise.post("http://url.com/api/scientists", "json", scientist)
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log("error", err);
  });

// GET request using promise
HTTP.promise.get("http://url.com/api/scientists/2", "json")
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log("error", err);
  });

// GET request using observable
HTTP.observable.get("http://url.com/api/scientists/2", "json").subscribe(
  response => {
    console.log(response);
  },
  err => console.log("error", err)
);

// POST request with multipart/form-data
HTTP.observable.post(`${environment.api}post/img`, 
                          'json',
                          imgFile, // the file as FormData
                          { "Content-Type": '' } // set headers only for this request. Set to '' to delete a property set in global headers.
                    ).subscribe(
  response => {
    console.log(response);
  },
  err => console.log("error", err)
);
