data_types must have this structure

{
    users: function(data){
        return '/users';
    },
    userContacts: function(data){
        return '/users/' + data.userId + '/contacts';
    }
}

Callbacks must return strings and must not throw errors. data in arguments is data, which you send from action methods.

setIdKey(string: id_key)

ID key to generate request URLs (in default 'id')

setDevMode(boolean: dev_move_flag)

Turn on/off console debugging (in default 'false')

Action methods

Examples

So simple request looks like

// imports
import { CrowFetchAPI } from 'crow-fetch-api';

// set server host
CrowFetchAPI.setServerHost('https://www.example.com');

// set data types (types)
CrowFetchAPI.setDataTypes({
    users: function(data) {
        return "/users";
    },
    contacts: function(data) {
        return "/users/" + data.userId + '/contacts';
    }
});

// send request 
// <data> must contain ID of datatype
// for url build
// If You want change <id_key> You can run
// default <id_key> is 'id'
CrowFetchAPI.setIdKey(new_id_key);
var data = {
    id: 1
};
CrowFetchAPI.get('users', data).then(
    // data is a parsed server response, // if server sent not json response, // // module throws an error
    function(data){
        // You can use data ...
    },
    function(error_message){
        // pasrsing error messages
    }
);
