dot-api: An ultra readible API Client Library
So readible you won't need to wrap it. Dependency free. Wrap's whatever handling you already have. Use with either fetch, axios, or whatever custom setup you have. Any thing that exposes get, post, etc functions and returns a promise should work
npm install --save dot-api
Calling the API
let result = await api.people('123').addresses.get({ city: 'Pittsburgh', state: 'PA'});
Initializing
let apiInner: ApiInner;
let api = Api('', apiInner, {}) as MyApi; // Strongly Typed
let api = Api('', apiInner, {structure}) as DynamicApi; // Dynamic
let api = Api('/api', apiInner, {structure }) as MyApi;
Where ApiInner
is:
interface ApiInner {
get(params, ...args): Promise<any>;
post(data, ...args): Promise<any>;
put(data, ...args): Promise<any>;
patch?(data, ...args): Promise<any>;
del(...args): Promise<any>;
}
ApiInner should handle setting headers/auth, any error handling, and it can either handle API base URL or you can have dot-api handle either works (this allows you to have a base API at one host but split into "API Modules").
API Type Declaration
interface MyApi {
people: HasGet<any[], any> & HasPost & {
(id): HasPut & HasDelete & {
addresses: HasGet<any[], any> & HasPost<any, any> & {
(id): HasDelete & HasPut<any, any>;
}
};
nearMe: HasGet,
me: HasGet & { (id): HasPut }
};
}
Definining a Structure object to support IE (or move processing time from the time of API call to app init)
let structure = {
people: {
$id: {
addresses: { $id: {} }
},
nearMe: {},
me: { $id: {} }
}
} as ApiStructureMap<MyApiLegacy>
