Solid Requests

A small library that provides HTTP requests using the Solid protocol. Requests use the Session object of this Solid-OIDC implementation to make authenticated requests. We use n3 for parsing RDF and provide a simple helper function (parseToN3) for that.

Add via npm

npm add --save @uvdsl/solid-requests

Example Usage

See the Solid-OIDC implementation for authenticating a session with your WebID!

Get a resource ...

 // have a session (or not, it is optional)
 const session = ...;
 // HTTP GET 
 const uri = "https://uvdsl.solid.aifb.kit.edu/profile/card#me"
 const http_response = await getResource(uri, session) // or omit session
 const http_body = http_response.text();
 const { store, prefixes } = await parseToN3(http_body, dataset);
 // use data ...

Create a new container ...

 // have a session (or not, it is optional)
 const session = ...;
 // HTTP POST to create a container (with a name via slug header) in /mydata/
 const uri = "https://your.solid.pod/mydata/"
 const name = "poposedContainerName"
 const http_response = await createContainer(uri, name, session) // or omit session
 const location = getLocationHeader(http_response)
 // use new container at that location ...
