Package Exports
- skapi-js
- skapi-js/dist/skapi.module.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 (skapi-js) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Skapi
Skapi is a backend API service that is specially designed for frontend web developers.
Compatible with both vanilla HTML and SPA projects
No fancy framework or complex deployment required. Just focused on the basics, Skapi is a single JavaScript library fully compatible with vanilla HTML, as well as any frontend frameworks.
All-in-One Package
Skapi provides all the backend features you need for your web application out of the box, without the need to set up or maintain multiple services.
Simple, Yet Flexible Database
Skapi's unique database design combines the best of SQL and noSQL worlds, providing both scalability and flexibility without the need for manual schema design.
Getting Started
1. Create a service
- Signup for an account at skapi.com.
- Log in and create a new service from your dashboard page.
2. Initialize the Skapi library
Skapi is compatible with both vanilla HTML and webpack-based projects (ex. Vue, React, Angular... etc).
You need to import the library using the <script>
tag or install via npm.
For HTML projects:
For vanilla HTML projects, import Skapi in the script tag, and initialize the library.
<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/skapi-js@latest/dist/skapi.js"></script>
<!-- Your content goes here -->
<script>
const skapi = new Skapi('service_id', 'owner_id');
</script>
Be sure to replace 'service_id'
and 'owner_id'
with the actual values of your service.
For SPA projects:
To use Skapi in a SPA projects (such as Vue, React, or Angular), you can install skapi-js via npm.
$ npm i skapi-js
Then, import the library into your main JavaScript file.
// main.js
import { Skapi } from 'skapi-js';
const skapi = new Skapi('service_id', 'owner_id');
export { skapi }
// Now you can import skapi from anywhere in your project.
3. Test your connection
After you initialized the Skapi library, you can test your connection by pinging your request with the mock()
method.
Below is an example of how you can use the mock()
method in both HTML forms and JavaScript code.
<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/skapi-js@latest/dist/skapi.js"></script>
<form onsubmit='skapi.mock(event).then(ping=>alert(ping.msg))'>
<input name='msg' placeholder='Test message'>
<input type='submit' value='Test Connection'>
</form>
<script>
const skapi = new Skapi('service_id', 'owner_id');
</script>
This will send a request to your Skapi service and ping back the response.
When the request is resolved, the mock()
method will return the response data as a Promise
object.
The response data will be displayed in an alert box.
Skapi is capable of handling HTML onsubmit
event directly.
