API Response Utils

The api-response-utils package streamlines RESTful API data exchange by introducing a standardized data structure for HTTP response bodies. This structure simplifies client-side data handling, promoting consistency and readability in your API interactions.

Getting Started

Install the package:

$ npm install -S api-response-utils

Usage

import { buildResponse, isResponse } from 'api-response-utils';

// building a successful response:
buildResponse();
// {
//   success: true,
//   data: undefined,
//   error: undefined
// }

// building a successful response w/ data:
buildResponse({ id: 1, nickname: 'Jane Doe' });
// {
//   success: true,
//   data: { id: 1, nickname: 'Jane Doe' },
//   error: undefined
// }

// building an unsuccessful response:
buildResponse(undefined, new Error('The user was not found in the db.'));
// {
//   success: false,
//   data: undefined,
//   error: 'The user was not found in the db.'
// }

// checking if a value is a response object:
isResponse({ 
  success: true,
  data: { id: 1, nickname: 'Jane Doe' },
  error: undefined,
});
// true

isResponse({ foo: 'bar' });
// false
