Package Exports

client-http-api-request-builder
client-http-api-request-builder/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (client-http-api-request-builder) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Client HTTP API Request Builder

This project provides a set of utilities for building and interacting with HTTP APIs in a client-side JavaScript application.

Overview

The client-http-api-request-builder is designed to simplify the process of making HTTP requests to RESTful APIs. It provides a builder pattern for constructing API requests, and includes utilities for handling common tasks such as setting headers, handling different HTTP methods, and managing endpoints.

Key Files

api-builder.js: Contains the ApiBuilder, which provides methods for building API requests for entities or endpoints. The ApiBuilder function is used to build an API. It takes an options object as a parameter, which can include entities, endpoints, a name, and an endpoint.
request.js: Contains the apiRequest function, which is used to make the actual HTTP requests, and the toQueryString function, which converts an object to a query string for GET requests.
restEntityApi.js: RestEntityAPI are used to encapsulate the logic for making HTTP requests to a REST API, including creating, reading, updating, and deleting resources

Installation

First, Install a client-http-api-request-builder package from npm.

To install and set up the library, run:

npm install client-http-api-request-builder

Or if you prefer using Yarn:

yarn add client-http-api-request-builder

Usage

import ApiBuilder from 'client-http-api-request-builder'

const UsersAPI = ApiBuilder({
    name:'users',
    endpoint: () => 'https://your.baseUrl/users',
    // if you want add some custom headers
    headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
    },
})

Now UserAPI have http request methods for create, update, destroy, getById and list for this endpoint 'https://your.baseUrl/users'.

await UsersAPI.create({...payload}); //https://your.baseUrl/users
await UsersAPI.update(id,{...updatedPayload}); https://your.baseUrl/users/id
await UsersAPI.destroy(id);  //https://your.baseUrl/users/id
await UsersAPI.getById(id,{},{...query}); //https://your.baseUrl/users/id
await UsersAPI.list({...query}); //https://your.baseUrl/users

Generate Mutiple Entities in a single run

You can generate methods for multiple entities in a single run.

import ApiBuilder from 'client-http-api-request-builder'

const API = ApiBuilder({
    entities:{
        users:{
            name:'users',
            endpoint: () => 'https://your.baseUrl/users'
        },
        books:{
            name:'books',
            endpoint: () => 'https://your.baseUrl/books'
        }
    },
    // if you want add some custom headers
    headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
    },
})

Now API have API.users, API.books and both have http request methods for create, update, destroy, getById and list respect to their endpoint 'https://your.baseUrl/users', 'https://your.baseUrl/books'.

// for user
await API.users.create({...payload});
await API.users.update(id,{...updatedPayload});
await API.users.destroy(id);
await API.users.getById(id,{},{...query});
await API.users.list({...query});

// for books
await API.books.create({...payload});
await API.books.update(id,{...updatedPayload});
await API.books.destroy(id);
await API.books.getById(id,{},{...query});
await API.books.list({...query});

Generate Mutiple enpoints in a single run

If you need different methods for different endpoints you can define your own methods name with request method types.

import ApiBuilder, { METHOD_TYPES } from 'client-http-api-request-builder'

const API = ApiBuilder({
    endpoints:{
        getUsers:{
            type: METHOD_TYPES.LIST,
            endpoint: () => 'https://your.baseUrl/users-list'
        },
        getSingleBookByUserId:{
            type: METHOD_TYPES.GET,
            endpoint: (bookId) => 'https://your.baseUrl/book/${bookId}/users'
        }
    },
    // if you want add some custom headers
    headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
    },
})

Now API have API.getUsers and API.getSingleBookByUserId functions.

await API.getUsers({page:4}); // https://your.baseUrl/users-list?page=4

await API.getSingleBookByUserId(userId,[bookId],{author='haider'});
//'https://your.baseUrl/book/bookId/users/userId?author=haider'

Generate Custom request methods & formData request.

import ApiBuilder, { METHOD_TYPES, request } from 'client-http-api-request-builder'

const API = ApiBuilder({
    endpoints:{
        getUsers:{
            type: METHOD_TYPES.LIST,
            endpoint: () => 'https://your.baseUrl/users-list'
        }
    },
    // if you want add some custom headers
    headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
    },
});

const getSingleBookByUserId = (userId, BookId) => request(
    `https://your.baseUrl/book/${bookId}/users/${userId}`,{
     method: 'GET',
     headers:{
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
     }
    },
);

 const uploadPhoto = (data) =>
    request(
      `https://your.baseUrl/api/photo`, {
        method: 'POST',
        body: data,
        formData: true,
      },
    );

return {
    ...API,
    getSingleBookByUserId,
    uploadPhoto
}

Now API have API.getUsers and API.getSingleBookByUserId functions.

await API.getUsers({page:4}); // https://your.baseUrl/users-list?page=4

await API.getSingleBookByUserId(userId,bookId);
//'https://your.baseUrl/book/bookId/users/userId'

const data = new FormData();
data.append('image', image);
await API.uploadPhoto(data); // https://your.baseUrl/api/photo
