Reqiox

Reqiox is a flexible and feature-rich library for making HTTP requests in JavaScript applications. It provides capabilities for request interception, response interception, request cancellation, retry mechanisms, and caching.

Features

• Request Methods: Supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE methods.
• Request Interceptors: Customize or transform requests before they are sent.
• Response Interceptors: Handle and modify responses received from requests.
• AbortController: Cancel ongoing requests gracefully using AbortController.
• Retry Mechanism: Automatic retry with exponential backoff for failed requests.
• Caching: In-memory caching of responses with configurable expiration.

Installation

Install Reqiox via npm:

npm install reqiox --save

import ReqioxClient from 'reqiox';

// Initialize ReqioxClient with base URL
const api = new ReqioxClient('https://api.example.com');

// Add request interceptors (optional)
api.addRequestInterceptor(async (options) => {
  // Modify headers, add authentication tokens, etc.
  return options;
});

// Add response interceptors (optional)
api.addResponseInterceptor(async (response) => {
  // Handle global error responses, transform data, etc.
  return response;
});

// Make GET request
api.get('/posts')
  .then(data => console.log('GET Response:', data))
  .catch(error => console.error('GET Error:', error));

// Make POST request
api.post('/posts', { title: 'New Post', body: 'Content' })
  .then(data => console.log('POST Response:', data))
  .catch(error => console.error('POST Error:', error));

// Cancel a request
api.cancelRequest('/posts', 'GET');

// Clear cache for a specific endpoint
api.clearCache('/posts');

// Retry a request with exponential backoff
api.requestWithRetry('/posts', { method: 'GET' })
  .then(data => console.log('Retry Response:', data))
  .catch(error => console.error('Retry Error:', error));

Library Reference

new ReqioxClient(baseURL)

Creates a new instance of ReqioxClient with the specified base URL.

• baseURL: Base URL for API requests.

api.addRequestInterceptor(interceptor)

Adds a request interceptor function that will be called before sending a request.

• interceptor: Function that receives the current request options and returns modified options.

api.addResponseInterceptor(interceptor)

Adds a response interceptor function that will be called when a response is received.

• interceptor: Function that receives the response object and returns modified response or handles errors.

HTTP Methods

api.get(endpoint, options)

Makes a GET request to the specified endpoint.

• endpoint: API endpoint.
• options: Optional request options (e.g., headers, timeout).

api.post(endpoint, body, options)

Makes a POST request to the specified endpoint.

• endpoint: API endpoint.
• body: Request body object.
• options: Optional request options (e.g., headers, timeout).

api.put(endpoint, body, options)

Makes a PUT request to the specified endpoint.

• endpoint: API endpoint.
• body: Request body object.
• options: Optional request options (e.g., headers, timeout).

api.delete(endpoint, options)

Makes a DELETE request to the specified endpoint.

• endpoint: API endpoint.
• options: Optional request options (e.g., headers, timeout).

Other Methods

api.cancelRequest(endpoint, method)

Cancels an ongoing request with the specified endpoint and HTTP method.

• endpoint: API endpoint.
• method: HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST).

api.clearCache(endpoint)

Clears cached response for the specified endpoint.

• endpoint: API endpoint.

api.requestWithRetry(endpoint, options, retries)
