Optimized

You may optionally build a webpack (minified) version for a 3.6KB file:
::
    npm install
    npm run dist

This will produce a ``dist/registry-client.min.js`` file.

::

    var registryClient = new Registry()

    // Or a custom capabilities endpiont
    var registryClient = new Registry({resourceCapabilitiesEndPoint:'http://www.mysite.com/reg/resources'})

Obtaining a Service URL

::

var registryClient = new Registry()

// Look up the TAP service with cookie authentication.
registryClient.getServiceURL(
        'ivo://cadc.nrc.ca/tap',
        'ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP',
        'uws:Sync',
        'cookie'
      )
      .then(function(serviceURL) {
        // Hit the serviceURL
      }).catch(function(err) {
        console.error('Error obtaining Service URL > ' + err)
      })

::

var registryClient = new Registry()

// Look up the TAP service with TLS authentication (HTTPS).
registryClient.getServiceURL(
        'ivo://cadc.nrc.ca/tap',
        'ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP',
        'uws:Sync',
        'tls'
      )
      .then(function(serviceURL) {
        // Hit the serviceURL
      }).catch(function(err) {
        console.error('Error obtaining Service URL > ' + err)
      })

::

var registryClient = new Registry()

// Look up the TAP service with Basic authentication (auth-sync endpoint).
registryClient.getServiceURL(
        'ivo://cadc.nrc.ca/tap',
        'ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP',
        'uws:Sync',
        'basic'
      )
      .then(function(serviceURL) {
        // Hit the serviceURL
      }).catch(function(err) {
        console.error('Error obtaining Service URL > ' + err)
      })

Obtaining an insecure Service URL ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is only useful (and recommended) for Service URLs that may gain some performance by calling an HTTP URL rather than suffer the potential latency of HTTPS, such as data uploads and downloads.

::

var registryClient = new Registry()

// Look up the TAP service with Basic authentication (auth-sync endpoint).
registryClient.getServiceURL(
        'ivo://cadc.nrc.ca/tap',
        'ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP',
        'uws:Sync',
        'basic',
        true // Prefer insecure.
      )
      .then(function(serviceURL) {
        // Hit the serviceURL
      }).catch(function(err) {
        console.error('Error obtaining Service URL > ' + err)
      })

Obtaining a Capability URL

Note that capability documents can vary.  As of version 1.2.0, the library supports
both the multiple ``<interface />`` style each with its own ``<accessURL />`` and ``<securityMethod />``,
as well as the newer TAP 1.1 version that will produce a single ``<interface />`` with multiple ``<securityMethod />`` tags.
::

    var registryClient = new Registry()

    // Look up the TAP service capabilities.
    registryClient.getCapabilityURL(
            'ivo://cadc.nrc.ca/tap'
          )
          .then(function(capabilityURL) {
            // Hit the capabilityURL and see the XML
          }).catch(function(err) {
            console.error('Error obtaining Capability URL > ' + err)
          })
