heracles

Hydra Core library for JavaScript

Heracles is a Promise-based library for consuming Hydra APIs

Browser support

You will need polyfills for older browsers:

| | Chrome | Firefox | IExplore | Edge | Safari | Opera | | ------------- |--------|---------|----------|------|--------|-------| | window.fetch | <42 | <39 | <=11 | <14 | <=10 | <29 | | WeakMap | <36 | <6 | <11 | | <7.1 | <23 |

Heracles also uses some ES6 functions from the Object and Array prototypes. You may have to load polyfills like those of the core-js package:

import 'core-js/es6/object';
import 'core-js/es6/array';

Installation

Heracles uses JSPM for development and is probably best used with it:

jspm install npm:heracles

However, it is also possible to install from NPM directly.

npm install heracles

Heracles is bundled as a CommonJS module and has been verified to work fine with Webpack. Please let me know if you have any issues with other tools like Browserify, server-side NodeJS, etc.

Usage

import {Hydra} from 'heracles';

Hydra.loadResource('http://example.com/resource')
  .then(res => {
    // contains supported classes, operations, etc.
    var apiDocs = res.apiDocumentation;
    
    // same as res['@id']
    var id = res.id; 
  });
