📥 Installation
Install Klaim via npm:
// Using npm
npm install klaim
// Using bun
bun add klaim
// Using deno
deno add @antharuu/klaim
🛠 Usage
Basic API Configuration
First, set up the API configuration. Define the API and its base URL.
import {Api, Route} from 'klaim';
// For deno: import { Api, Route } from "@antharuu/klaim";
// Your simple Todo type
type Todo = {
userId: number;
id: number;
title: string;
completed: boolean;
};
// Create a new API with the name "hello" and the base URL "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/"
Api.create("hello", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/", () => {
// Define routes for the API
Route.get<Todo[]>("listTodos", "todos");
Route.get<Todo>("getTodo", "todos/[id]");
Route.post<Todo>("addTodo", "todos");
});
Route Definition
Define various routes within the API callback:
Api.create("hello", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/", () => {
// Get a list of todos
Route.get<Todo[]>("listTodos", "todos");
// Get a specific todo by id
Route.get<Todo>("getTodo", "todos/[id]");
// Add a new todo
Route.post<Todo>("addTodo", "todos");
});
Request Handling
Handle requests using the defined routes:
import {Klaim} from 'klaim';
// For deno: import { Klaim } from "@antharuu/klaim";
// Make a request to the "listTodos" route
const listOfTodos = await Klaim.hello.listTodos<Todo[]>();
// Make a request to the "getTodo" route with the parameter "id"
const todo = await Klaim.hello.getTodo<Todo>({id: 1});
// Make a request to the "addTodo" route
const newTodo = await Klaim.hello.addTodo<Todo>({}, {title: "New Todo", completed: false, userId: 1});
Middleware Usage
Add middleware to modify requests and responses. Use before
middleware to alter requests before they are sent
and after
middleware to process responses:
Api.create("hello", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/", () => {
// With before middleware
Route.get<Todo>("getRandomTodo", "todos")
.before(({url}) => {
const random = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 1;
return {url: `${url}/${random}`};
});
// With after middleware
Route.get<Todo>("getFirstTodo", "todos")
.after(({data: [first]}) => ({data: first}));
});
Hook Subscription
Subscribe to hooks to monitor specific events:
import {Hook} from 'klaim';
// For deno: import { Hook } from "@antharuu/klaim";
// Subscribe to the "hello.getFirstTodo" hook
Hook.subscribe("hello.getFirstTodo", ({url}) => {
console.log(`Requesting ${url}`);
});
Caching Requests
Enable caching on requests to reduce network load and improve performance. By default, the cache duration is 20 seconds, but you can specify a custom duration in seconds.
Caching Individual Routes
You can enable caching on individual routes:
Api.create("hello", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/", () => {
// Get a list of todos with default cache duration (20 seconds)
Route.get<Todo[]>("listTodos", "todos").withCache();
// Get a specific todo by id with custom cache duration (300 seconds)
Route.get<Todo>("getTodo", "todos/[id]").withCache(300);
// Add a new todo (no cache)
Route.post<Todo>("addTodo", "todos");
});
Now, when making requests, the caching feature will be applied.
Caching the Entire API
You can also enable caching for all routes defined within an API:
Api.create("hello", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/", () => {
// Define routes for the API
Route.get<Todo[]>("listTodos", "todos");
Route.get<Todo>("getTodo", "todos/[id]");
Route.post<Todo>("addTodo", "todos");
}).withCache(); // Enable default cache duration (20 seconds) for all routes
Retry Mechanism
Automatically retry failed requests to enhance reliability. You can specify the number of retry attempts for individual routes or for the entire API.
Retry on Individual Routes
Enable retry on individual routes:
Api.create("hello", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/", () => {
// Get a list of todos with retry mechanism (default: 2)
Route.get<Todo[]>("listTodos", "todos").withRetry();
// Get a specific todo by id with retry mechanism (specified to 5)
Route.get<Todo>("getTodo", "todos/[id]").withRetry(5);
// Add a new todo (no retry)
Route.post<Todo>("addTodo", "todos");
});
Retry the Entire API
Enable retry for all routes defined within an API:
Api.create("hello", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/", () => {
// Define routes for the API
Route.get<Todo[]>("listTodos", "todos");
Route.get<Todo>("getTodo", "todos/[id]");
Route.post<Todo>("addTodo", "todos");
}).withRetry();
Now, when a request fails, it will be retried the specified number of times before ultimately failing.
Response Validation
You can use Yup to validate the response schema for increased reliability and consistency. You can specify a schema for individual routes to ensure the response data conforms to the expected structure.
⚠️ Note: This feature requires the yup
package to be installed.
Adding Validation to Individual Routes
Enable validation on individual routes:
import * as yup from 'yup';
// Define the schema using Yup
const todoSchema = yup.object().shape({
userId: yup.number().required(),
id: yup.number().min(1).max(10).required(),
title: yup.string().required(),
completed: yup.boolean().required()
});
Api.create("hello", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/", () => {
// Get a specific todo by id with validation
Route.get<Todo>("getTodo", "todos/[id]").validate(todoSchema);
});
// This request will fail because the id is out of range
const todoFail = await Klaim.hello.getTodo<Todo>({id: 15});
// This request will succeed
const todo = await Klaim.hello.getTodo<Todo>({id: 1});
