A fluent Siren hypermedia representation builder.

const Siren = require('siren-builder');

const entity = Siren.entity()
  .addClass('home')
  .addProperty('version', '2.4.1')
  .addProperty('health', 'green')
  .addAction('find-widget', Siren.action()
    .setTitle('Find Widget')
    .setMethod('GET')
    .setHref('https://api.example.org/widgets/search')
    .setType('application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
    .addField('q', Siren.field()
      .setType('text')))
  .addLink('self', Siren.link()
    .setHref('https://api.example.org/'));

const siren = entity.toJSON();

// siren = {
//   class: ['home'],
//   properties: {
//     version: '2.4.1',
//     health: 'green'
//   },
//   actions: [

//         }

Alternatives

If you are not building Siren representations imperatively and are able to specify them in one expression, you may prefer to use node-siren-writer for syntactic brevity.
