});

Usage

// fetch all auctions with await
const auctionsResponse = await api.auctions.list();
const auctions = auctionsResponse.json;
for(const car of auctions){
  console.log(car.name)
}

// fetch all auctions with Promise
api.auctions.list().then(({status, json}) => {
    const auctions = json;
    for(const car of auctions){
      console.log(car.name)
    }
});

// create a car
api.auctions.create({ name: 'My Awesome Auction' }).then(({status, json}) => {
    const carId = json.id;
});

Error Handling

// with await
try {
  const createResult = await api.auctions.create({ name: 'My Awesome Auction' });
  const newcar = createResult.json;
} catch(e) {
  console.log(e);
}

// with Promise
api.auctions.create({ name: 'My Awesome Auction' })
.then(({status, json}) => {
  if(status === 200) {
    // success
    const newcar = json;
  } else {
    // 404 or bad request
  }
})
.catch(err => {
  console.log(err)
});
