Middleman

Simple request handler for API requests. The goal is to use Middleman to configure global validation and response handlers.

The Middleman has built in handler for these responses:

• Unauthenticated (401)
• Session expired (418)
• General error (everything that is above 300)

The appropriate exception will be thrown when any of these statuses is present in the response.

Usage

The recommended way is to create a class that extends to Middleman class so you can fully configure it to suit the needs of your app.

The handleSuccess method is a good place to start. A place where you can add redirects and other defined response rules you might have.

import Middleman from 'middleman';
import Notifications from 'notifications';

class API extends Middleman {
    /**
     * Handle success responses
     * @param {Object}  data Minutemailer data
     */
    handleSuccess = (data) => {
        if ('notifications' in data) {
            Notifications.add(data.notification);
        }

        return data;
    };
}

const photos = new API('/api/photos');

photos.get().then(console.log);
