client.customers.all()

  });
  
client.customers.add({ name: 'nacho', address: 'nachos home 25, dip mountain, taco-ville' })

client.customers.downloadLog()
  .then(function(stream) {
    stream.pipe(process.stdout); // stream -> get request to http://yourserver.com/api/customers/log
  });
  
client.customers.uploadLog({file: fs.createReadStream('file.txt')})
  .then(function() {
    // -> post request to http://yourserver.com/api/customers/log
  });

Injectors

Use injectors to intercept outgoing or incoming data and manpulate it.

Token Injector Example

  var token;

  client.inject({
    request: function (request) {
      request.headers = request.headers || {};

      if (token) {
        request.headers.Authorization = 'Bearer ' + token;
      }

      return Q.resolve(request);
    }
  });
