angular-xmlrpc

An AngularJS service which provides XML-RPC communication methods.

Installation

From NPM:

npm install angular-xmlrpc --save

From Bower:

bower install angular-xmlrpc

How to use it ?

First of all, add in you application a dependency :

angular.module('MyApp', ['xml-rpc']);

This is an AngularJS service, you can use it in your application as any other service.

angular.module('MyApp')
.factory('MyAwesomeService', ['xmlrpc', function(xmlrpc){
    return {
        myAwesomeFunction: function(){
            xmlrpc.callMethod(...)
        }
    }
}]);

In order to pass parameters, you have to wrap them in an array:

myAwesomeFunction: function(){
    xmlrpc.callMethod('cookies.giveMe', [params1, params2, ...])
}

Response from the server is automatically parsed from XML to a JS object, you can use it directly:

xmlrpc.callMethod('user.me', []).then(function(response){
    console.log(response); // { attr1:..., attr2:...}
})

Configuration

You can configure the hostName and pathName of your xmlrpc webservice. You can also define a callback for each http error you want:

angular.module('MyApp.controllers', [])
.controller('MyAwesomeController', function(xmlrpc) {
    xmlrpc.config({
        hostName:"...", // Default is empty
        pathName:"/...", // Default is /rpc2
        401:function(){
            console.log("You shall not pass !");
        },
        404:function(){
            console.log("Not the droids you're looking for");
        },
        500:function(){
            console.log("Something went wrong :(");
        }, ...
});
