Nabi Requests

A wrapper around axios that automatically stores and uses authentication tokens in each request

Current assumptions

Currently uses the structure of tokens from devise_token_auth, replacing the tokens if new ones are sent back. Uses AsyncStorage.

Installation

npm install nabi-requests or yarn add nabi-requests

Usage

import {urlFromPath, httpPost} from "nabi-requests";

setRootUrl('localhost:3000')
setStorageKey('token_headers')

httpPost((response) => {
    // Do some awesome react state and screen stuff
  }, (error) => {
    // Log your errors for posterity
  },
  '/users',
  {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "strong_password",
    "password_confirmation": "strong_password",
  }
)

Methods

The following returns a full url with path, based on rootUrl:

urlFromPath(path)

Http methods with onSuccess and onError hooks, path and body parameters where appropriate:

httpGet(onSuccess, onError, path)
httpPost(onSuccess, onError, path, body)
httpPatch(onSuccess, onError, path, body)
httpPatchFile(onSuccess, onError, path, body): used for multipart uploads (like images)
httpDelete(onSuccess, onError, path)

Future work

Allow static configuration/overriding of:

• The storage technique of the tokens and storage key
• The structure/header names of the tokens
• More useful http methods
