✨ Why Choose Reixo?
The Pain Points Developers Face with HTTP Clients
After analyzing thousands of projects and developer feedback, here are the most common pain points across all platforms:
🚨 Native Fetch API Problems
// ❌ Pain Point 1: HTTP errors don't throw - you have to manually check
const response = await fetch('/api/data');
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`); // Everyone forgets this!
}
const data = await response.json();
// ❌ Pain Point 2: No request timeouts by default
// Requests can hang forever without manual abort controller setup
// ❌ Pain Point 3: Manual JSON stringification and headers
fetch('/api/users', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({ name: 'John' }), // Easy to forget
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json', // Easy to forget
Authorization: 'Bearer token', // Manual everywhere
},
});🔥 axios Library Shortcomings
// ❌ Pain Point 4: No built-in retry mechanism
axios.get('/api/unstable').catch((error) => {
// Manual retry logic needed everywhere
if (error.code === 'ECONNRESET') {
return retryRequest(config); // Custom implementation
}
});
// ❌ Pain Point 5: Weak TypeScript support
const response = await axios.get<User[]>('/api/users');
response.data[0].anyProperty; // No type safety - any types everywhere
// ❌ Pain Point 6: No circuit breaker or rate limiting
// DDoS your own APIs during traffic spikes🌐 Cross-Platform Issues
// ❌ Pain Point 7: Different APIs for Node.js vs Browser
// node-fetch vs whatwg-fetch vs native fetch - inconsistent behavior
// ❌ Pain Point 8: No offline support for mobile apps
// Requests fail immediately when network drops
// ❌ Pain Point 9: Manual request deduplication
const requests = new Set();
if (!requests.has(url)) {
requests.add(url);
fetch(url); // Race condition management
}
// ❌ Pain Point 10: No built-in metrics or monitoring
// Manual instrumentation needed for performance tracking🏢 Enterprise Challenges
// ❌ Pain Point 11: Authentication token refresh hell
try {
await fetch('/api/protected', {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` },
});
} catch (error) {
if (error.status === 401) {
// Manual token refresh flow
const newToken = await refreshToken();
// Retry logic needed
}
}
// ❌ Pain Point 12: No request prioritization
// Critical requests stuck behind background sync
// ❌ Pain Point 13: Memory leaks from abandoned requests
// No proper cleanup or connection management🎯 How Reixo Solves These Pain Points

🚀 Quick Start
Installation
npm install reixo
# or
yarn add reixo
# or
pnpm add reixoBasic Usage in 30 Seconds
import { Reixo } from 'reixo';
// Create a configured client
const client = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com')
.withTimeout(5000)
.withHeader('Accept', 'application/json')
.build();
// Make your first request
const response = await client.get('/posts/1');
console.log(response.data); // Fully typed response!🎯 Core Features Deep Dive
1. Builder Pattern with Fluent API
Configure your client with a clean, chainable interface:
const client = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://api.example.com')
// Basic configuration
.withTimeout(10000)
.withHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer token123')
.withHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
// Resilience features
.withRetry({
maxRetries: 3,
backoffFactor: 2,
initialDelayMs: 500,
retryCondition: (error) => error.status >= 500 || error.status === 429,
})
.withCircuitBreaker({
failureThreshold: 5,
resetTimeoutMs: 30000,
onStateChange: (oldState, newState) => {
console.log(`Circuit changed from ${oldState} to ${newState}`);
},
})
.withRateLimit({
requestsPerSecond: 10,
burstCapacity: 20,
waitForToken: true, // Wait instead of throwing when rate limited
})
// Caching
.withCache({
ttl: 60000, // 1 minute cache
enabled: true,
storage: 'memory', // or 'localStorage' in browsers
invalidateOn: ['POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'PATCH'],
})
// Progress tracking
.withUploadProgress((progress) => {
console.log(`Upload: ${progress.loaded}/${progress.total} bytes`);
})
.withDownloadProgress((progress) => {
console.log(`Download: ${progress.progress}% complete`);
})
// Build the final client
.build();2. Comprehensive HTTP Methods
All standard HTTP methods with full type safety:
// GET with query parameters and typed response
interface User {
id: number;
name: string;
email: string;
}
const users = await client.get<User[]>('/users', {
params: {
active: true,
limit: 10,
offset: 0,
},
cache: { ttl: 30000 },
});
// POST with typed body and response
const newUser = await client.post<User>('/users', {
name: 'John Doe',
email: '[email protected]',
active: true,
});
// PUT for full updates
const updatedUser = await client.put<User>(`/users/${newUser.data.id}`, {
name: 'John Updated',
email: '[email protected]',
active: true,
});
// PATCH for partial updates
const patchedUser = await client.patch<User>(`/users/${newUser.data.id}`, {
name: 'John Patched',
});
// DELETE
await client.delete(`/users/${newUser.data.id}`);
// Custom requests
const optionsResponse = await client.request({
method: 'OPTIONS',
url: '/users',
headers: { 'Custom-Header': 'value' },
});3. Advanced Task Queue System
Manage concurrent requests with priority, dependencies, and offline support:
const queue = new Reixo.TaskQueue({
concurrency: 3, // Maximum 3 concurrent tasks
autoStart: true, // Start processing immediately
persistent: true, // Persist queue to storage
storage: 'localStorage', // Storage adapter (memory/localStorage/sessionStorage)
syncWithNetwork: true, // Auto-pause when offline, resume when online
});
// Add high-priority task (runs first)
const highPriorityTask = queue.add(
async () => {
return await client.get('/critical-data');
},
{
priority: 100, // Higher number = higher priority
id: 'critical-task',
timeout: 30000, // 30 second timeout
retry: { maxRetries: 2 },
}
);
// Add medium-priority task with dependency
const mediumTask = queue.add(
async () => {
return await client.get('/user-profile');
},
{
priority: 50,
id: 'user-profile-task',
dependencies: ['critical-task'], // Wait for critical task to complete
}
);
// Add low-priority batch processing
const batchTask = queue.add(
async () => {
const processor = new Reixo.BatchProcessor<string, User>(
async (userIds: string[]) => {
return await client.post('/users/batch', { ids: userIds });
},
{ batchSize: 10, flushIntervalMs: 1000 }
);
// Process 100 users in batches of 10
for (let i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
processor.add(i.toString());
}
return await processor.flush();
},
{
priority: 10,
id: 'batch-processing',
}
);
// Event handling for monitoring
queue
.on('task:started', ({ id }) => console.log(`Task ${id} started`))
.on('task:completed', ({ id, result }) => console.log(`Task ${id} completed`))
.on('task:failed', ({ id, error }) => console.error(`Task ${id} failed:`, error))
.on('task:retrying', ({ id, attempt }) => console.log(`Task ${id} retrying (attempt ${attempt})`))
.on('queue:empty', () => console.log('All tasks completed'))
.on('queue:paused', () => console.log('Queue paused (offline)'))
.on('queue:resumed', () => console.log('Queue resumed (online)'));
// Queue control
queue.pause(); // Manual pause
queue.resume(); // Manual resume
queue.clear(); // Clear all tasks
await queue.waitUntilEmpty(); // Wait for completion4. Resilience Patterns
Automatic Retries with Exponential Backoff
// Standalone retry function for any async operation
const result = await Reixo.withRetry(
async () => {
return await fetchUnreliableExternalService();
},
{
maxRetries: 5,
backoffFactor: 2, // Exponential backoff: 100ms, 200ms, 400ms, 800ms, 1600ms
initialDelayMs: 100,
maxDelayMs: 5000,
retryCondition: (error) => {
// Retry on server errors or rate limits
return error.status >= 500 || error.status === 429;
},
onRetry: (attempt, delayMs, error) => {
console.log(`Retry attempt ${attempt} after ${delayMs}ms due to:`, error.message);
},
}
);
// Integrated with HTTP client
const resilientClient = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://unstable-api.com')
.withRetry({
maxRetries: 3,
backoffFactor: 1.5,
initialDelayMs: 200,
retryCondition: (error) => error.status !== 404, // Don't retry on 404
})
.build();Circuit Breaker Pattern
const circuitBreaker = new Reixo.CircuitBreaker({
failureThreshold: 3, // Open circuit after 3 consecutive failures
resetTimeoutMs: 30000, // Wait 30 seconds before trying again
halfOpenMaxRequests: 2, // Allow 2 requests in half-open state
onStateChange: (oldState, newState) => {
console.log(`Circuit changed from ${oldState} to ${newState}`);
// Trigger alerts or fallback logic
},
});
// Execute with circuit breaker protection
try {
const result = await circuitBreaker.execute(() => client.get('/unstable-service'), {
timeout: 5000,
});
console.log('Service response:', result.data);
} catch (error) {
if (error.message.includes('Circuit is OPEN')) {
// Service unavailable - use fallback data
console.log('Service unavailable - using fallback');
return getFallbackData();
}
if (error.message.includes('Circuit is HALF_OPEN')) {
// Service recovering - retry cautiously
console.log('Service recovering - retrying carefully');
await delay(1000);
return await client.get('/unstable-service');
}
// Other errors
throw error;
}
// Monitor circuit state
console.log('Current circuit state:', circuitBreaker.currentState); // CLOSED, OPEN, or HALF_OPEN
console.log('Failure count:', circuitBreaker.failureCount);
console.log('Success count:', circuitBreaker.successCount);5. Authentication & Security
Automatic Token Refresh
// Create auth interceptor for automatic token refresh
const authInterceptor = Reixo.createAuthInterceptor(client, {
getAccessToken: async () => {
return localStorage.getItem('accessToken');
},
refreshTokens: async () => {
const refreshToken = localStorage.getItem('refreshToken');
const response = await client.post('/auth/refresh', { refreshToken });
localStorage.setItem('accessToken', response.data.accessToken);
localStorage.setItem('refreshToken', response.data.refreshToken);
return response.data.accessToken;
},
shouldRefresh: (error) => error.status === 401,
onAuthFailure: (error) => {
// Redirect to login or clear session
window.location.href = '/login';
},
});
// Client with auto-refresh capability
const secureClient = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://api.example.com')
.addRequestInterceptor(authInterceptor)
.withSecurity({
sanitizeHeaders: true, // Remove sensitive headers from logs
maskSensitiveData: true, // Mask passwords/tokens in logs
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: true, // Strict SSL validation
minVersion: 'TLSv1.2', // Minimum TLS version
},
})
.build();JWT Token Management
// JWT token automatic injection and refresh
const clientWithJWT = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://api.example.com')
.addRequestInterceptor(async (config) => {
const token = await getValidToken(); // Your token management logic
config.headers.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`);
return config;
})
.build();
// OAuth2 client credentials flow
const oauthClient = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://oauth.example.com')
.withAuth({
type: 'oauth2',
clientId: 'your-client-id',
clientSecret: 'your-client-secret',
tokenUrl: '/oauth/token',
scopes: ['read', 'write'],
})
.build();6. Advanced Interceptor System
Modify requests and responses at multiple points in the lifecycle:
// Request interceptor - add auth token
client.addRequestInterceptor(async (config) => {
const token = await getAuthToken();
config.headers.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`);
return config;
});
// Request interceptor - modify data
client.addRequestInterceptor(async (config) => {
if (config.data && typeof config.data === 'object') {
// Add timestamps to all requests
config.data = {
...config.data,
_timestamp: Date.now(),
_version: '1.0.0',
};
}
return config;
});
// Response interceptor - transform data
client.addResponseInterceptor(async (response) => {
// Transform response data structure
if (response.data && Array.isArray(response.data.items)) {
response.data = {
items: response.data.items,
total: response.data.totalCount,
hasMore: response.data.hasMore,
};
}
return response;
});
// Response interceptor - error handling
client.addResponseInterceptor(async (response) => {
if (!response.ok) {
// Convert error responses to custom error format
throw new CustomBusinessError(
response.data?.message || 'Request failed',
response.data?.code,
response.status
);
}
return response;
});
// Error interceptor - global error handling
client.addErrorInterceptor(async (error) => {
if (error.status === 429) {
// Rate limited - wait and retry
const retryAfter = error.response.headers.get('Retry-After');
await delay((parseInt(retryAfter) || 1) * 1000);
return client.request(error.config); // Retry the original request
}
if (error.status === 401) {
// Unauthorized - refresh token
await refreshAuthToken();
return client.request(error.config); // Retry with new token
}
// Re-throw other errors
throw error;
});7. Progress Tracking & Large File Handling
// Upload progress with detailed metrics
client.post('/upload', largeFile, {
onUploadProgress: (progress) => {
console.log(`Uploaded: ${progress.loaded}/${progress.total} bytes`);
console.log(`Progress: ${progress.progress}%`);
console.log(`Speed: ${progress.bytesPerSecond} bytes/sec`);
console.log(`ETA: ${progress.eta} seconds`);
},
// Resumable upload support
resumable: true,
chunkSize: 5 * 1024 * 1024, // 5MB chunks
onChunkComplete: (chunkNumber, totalChunks) => {
console.log(`Chunk ${chunkNumber}/${totalChunks} uploaded`);
},
});
// Download progress with streaming
const response = await client.get('/large-file', {
onDownloadProgress: (progress) => {
console.log(`Downloaded: ${progress.loaded} bytes`);
if (progress.total) {
console.log(`Progress: ${progress.progress}%`);
}
},
responseType: 'stream', // Stream response for large files
});
// Handle streaming response
const stream = response.data;
const fileStream = fs.createWriteStream('large-file.zip');
stream.pipe(fileStream);
stream.on('data', (chunk) => {
console.log('Received chunk:', chunk.length, 'bytes');
});
stream.on('end', () => {
console.log('Download completed');
});8. Caching Strategies
// Client with aggressive caching
const cachedClient = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://api.example.com')
.withCache({
ttl: 300000, // 5 minutes
enabled: true,
storage: 'memory', // or 'localStorage' for browsers
// Cache only GET requests by default
invalidateOn: ['POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'PATCH'],
// Custom cache key generation
keyBuilder: (config) => {
return `${config.method}:${config.url}:${JSON.stringify(config.params)}`;
},
// Conditional caching
shouldCache: (response) => {
return response.status === 200 && response.data.shouldCache !== false;
},
})
.build();
// Manual cache control
await cachedClient.cache.clear(); // Clear all cache
await cachedClient.cache.invalidate('/users'); // Invalidate specific endpoint
await cachedClient.cache.invalidateMatching(/^\/users\//); // Invalidate by pattern
// Force cache refresh (bypass cache)
const freshData = await cachedClient.get('/users', {
cache: { forceRefresh: true },
});
// Cache-only mode (return cached data or throw)
const cachedData = await cachedClient.get('/users', {
cache: { onlyIfCached: true },
});9. GraphQL Client
// Create GraphQL client
const gqlClient = new Reixo.GraphQLClient('https://api.example.com/graphql', {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer token',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
// GraphQL-specific options
batchRequests: true, // Batch multiple queries
batchInterval: 100, // Batch window in ms
useGETForQueries: true, // Use GET for queries (better caching)
});
// Query with variables and typed response
interface UserData {
user: {
id: string;
name: string;
email: string;
posts: Array<{
id: string;
title: string;
content: string;
}>;
};
}
const result = await gqlClient.query<UserData>({
query: `
query GetUserWithPosts($userId: ID!, $postsLimit: Int) {
user(id: $userId) {
id
name
email
posts(limit: $postsLimit) {
id
title
content
}
}
}
`,
variables: {
userId: '123',
postsLimit: 5,
},
// GraphQL-specific options
operationName: 'GetUserWithPosts',
extensions: {
persistedQuery: {
version: 1,
sha256Hash: 'hash123',
},
},
});
console.log('User:', result.data.user);
console.log('Posts:', result.data.user.posts);
// Mutation with optimistic UI
const mutationResult = await gqlClient.mutate({
mutation: `
mutation CreatePost($input: CreatePostInput!) {
createPost(input: $input) {
id
title
content
createdAt
}
}
`,
variables: {
input: {
title: 'New Post',
content: 'Post content',
},
},
// Optimistic response
optimisticResponse: {
createPost: {
id: 'temp-id',
title: 'New Post',
content: 'Post content',
createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
__typename: 'Post',
},
},
update: (cache, { data }) => {
// Update local cache after mutation
if (data?.createPost) {
cache.modify({
fields: {
posts: (existingPosts = []) => {
return [...existingPosts, data.createPost];
},
},
});
}
},
});
// Batch multiple queries
const batchResult = await gqlClient.batch([
{
query: `query { user(id: "1") { name } }`,
variables: {},
},
{
query: `query { posts(limit: 5) { title } }`,
variables: {},
},
]);
console.log('User:', batchResult[0].data.user);
console.log('Posts:', batchResult[1].data.posts);10. Testing & Mocking
// Create mock adapter for testing
const mockAdapter = new Reixo.MockAdapter();
// Setup mock responses
mockAdapter
.onGet('/users/1')
.reply(200, {
id: 1,
name: 'John Doe',
email: '[email protected]',
})
.onGet('/users')
.reply(200, [
{ id: 1, name: 'John Doe' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Jane Smith' },
])
.onPost('/users')
.reply(201, (config) => {
const userData = JSON.parse(config.data as string);
return {
id: Math.random(),
...userData,
createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
};
})
.onPut(/\/users\/\d+/)
.reply(200, (config, url) => {
const userId = url.match(/\/users\/(\d+)/)[1];
const userData = JSON.parse(config.data as string);
return {
id: parseInt(userId),
...userData,
updatedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
};
})
.onAny() // Catch-all for unmatched requests
.reply(404, { error: 'Endpoint not found' });
// Create test client with mock adapter
const testClient = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://api.example.com')
.withTransport(mockAdapter)
.build();
// Write tests
it('should get user by id', async () => {
const response = await testClient.get('/users/1');
expect(response.status).toBe(200);
expect(response.data).toEqual({
id: 1,
name: 'John Doe',
email: '[email protected]',
});
});
it('should create new user', async () => {
const response = await testClient.post('/users', {
name: 'Test User',
email: '[email protected]',
});
expect(response.status).toBe(201);
expect(response.data).toMatchObject({
name: 'Test User',
email: '[email protected]',
});
expect(response.data.id).toBeDefined();
expect(response.data.createdAt).toBeDefined();
});
// Mock network errors
mockAdapter.onGet('/error-endpoint').networkError(); // Simulate network failure
// Mock timeouts
mockAdapter.onGet('/slow-endpoint').timeout(); // Simulate timeout
// Mock specific error responses
mockAdapter
.onGet('/not-found')
.reply(404, { error: 'Not found' })
.onGet('/server-error')
.reply(500, { error: 'Internal server error' })
.onGet('/rate-limited')
.reply(
429,
{ error: 'Too many requests' },
{
'Retry-After': '1',
}
);11. Error Handling & Debugging
try {
const response = await client.get('/nonexistent-endpoint');
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof Reixo.HTTPError) {
// HTTP error (status code >= 400)
console.log('HTTP Error Details:');
console.log('Status:', error.status); // 404
console.log('Status Text:', error.statusText); // 'Not Found'
console.log('URL:', error.config?.url); // '/nonexistent-endpoint'
console.log('Method:', error.config?.method); // 'GET'
console.log('Headers:', error.config?.headers); // Request headers
// Access response data
const errorBody = await error.response?.json();
console.log('Error Response:', errorBody);
// Access response headers
console.log('Response Headers:', error.response?.headers);
} else if (error instanceof Reixo.NetworkError) {
// Network connectivity issue
console.log('Network Error:', error.message);
console.log('Original Error:', error.originalError);
} else if (error instanceof Reixo.TimeoutError) {
// Request timeout
console.log('Timeout after:', error.timeoutMs, 'ms');
} else if (error instanceof Reixo.CircuitBreakerError) {
// Circuit breaker open
console.log('Circuit Breaker is:', error.state);
} else {
// Other errors
console.log('Unknown Error:', error);
}
}
// Debug mode for development
const debugClient = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://api.example.com')
.withDebug({
enabled: true,
logRequests: true, // Log all requests
logResponses: true, // Log all responses
logErrors: true, // Log all errors
logTimings: true, // Log request timings
logRetries: true, // Log retry attempts
sensitiveDataRedaction: true, // Redact sensitive data
})
.build();12. Performance Monitoring & Metrics
// Enable comprehensive metrics collection
const monitoredClient = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://api.example.com')
.withMetrics({
enabled: true,
collectionWindowMs: 60000, // 1 minute rolling window
percentiles: [0.5, 0.95, 0.99], // Track 50th, 95th, 99th percentiles
onMetricsUpdate: (metrics) => {
console.log('=== Performance Metrics ===');
console.log('Success Rate:', metrics.successRate, '%');
console.log('Total Requests:', metrics.totalRequests);
console.log('Failed Requests:', metrics.failedRequests);
console.log('Average Latency:', metrics.averageLatencyMs, 'ms');
console.log('P50 Latency:', metrics.percentile50LatencyMs, 'ms');
console.log('P95 Latency:', metrics.percentile95LatencyMs, 'ms');
console.log('P99 Latency:', metrics.percentile99LatencyMs, 'ms');
console.log('Requests per Second:', metrics.requestsPerSecond);
console.log('Active Connections:', metrics.activeConnections);
},
// Export metrics to monitoring systems
exporters: [
// Console exporter for development
{
type: 'console',
intervalMs: 5000, // Export every 5 seconds
},
// Prometheus exporter for production
{
type: 'prometheus',
endpoint: '/metrics',
intervalMs: 15000,
},
// Custom exporter
{
type: 'custom',
export: (metrics) => {
// Send to your monitoring system
sendToDatadog(metrics);
sendToNewRelic(metrics);
},
},
],
})
.build();
// Access current metrics
const currentMetrics = monitoredClient.getMetrics();
console.log('Current success rate:', currentMetrics.successRate);
// Reset metrics
monitoredClient.resetMetrics();
// Get metrics for specific endpoint
const endpointMetrics = monitoredClient.getEndpointMetrics('/users');
console.log('Users endpoint performance:', endpointMetrics);13. Memory Leak Prevention
Reixo includes built-in mechanisms to prevent memory leaks, especially in Single Page Applications (SPAs) and long-running Node.js processes.
// Dispose client to clean up all resources
// - Aborts all in-flight requests
// - Destroys connection pools
// - Clears timers and intervals
// - Removes event listeners
client.dispose();
// Register custom cleanup logic
client.onCleanup(() => {
console.log('Client disposed, custom cleanup running');
});
// Automatic cleanup in browsers
// Reixo automatically attaches cleanup handlers to 'beforeunload' and 'pagehide' events14. Automatic Offline Support
Automatically queue requests when the device goes offline and replay them when connectivity is restored.
const client = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('https://api.example.com')
.withOfflineQueue({
storage: 'local', // Persist queue to localStorage
syncWithNetwork: true, // Auto-replay when online
maxRetries: 3,
})
.build();
// Requests made while offline will be queued
// The promise will resolve when the request is eventually processed
await client.post('/analytics', { event: 'click' });
// You can listen to queue events
client.offlineQueue?.on('queue:restored', (tasks) => {
console.log(`Restored ${tasks.length} offline requests`);
});
client.offlineQueue?.on('queue:drain', () => {
console.log('All offline requests processed');
});15. WebSocket Client
Robust WebSocket client with automatic reconnection and heartbeat support.
const ws = new Reixo.WebSocketClient({
url: 'wss://api.example.com/ws',
reconnect: {
maxRetries: 10,
initialDelayMs: 1000,
backoffFactor: 1.5,
},
heartbeat: {
interval: 30000,
message: 'ping',
timeout: 5000,
},
});
ws.on('open', () => console.log('Connected'));
ws.on('message', (data) => console.log('Received:', data));
ws.on('close', () => console.log('Disconnected'));
ws.on('error', (err) => console.error('Error:', err));
ws.connect();
// Send data
ws.send({ type: 'subscribe', channel: 'updates' });16. Server-Sent Events (SSE)
Consume real-time event streams with ease.
const sse = new Reixo.SSEClient({
url: 'https://api.example.com/events',
withCredentials: true,
reconnect: {
maxRetries: 5,
initialDelayMs: 1000,
},
headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer token' },
});
sse.on('message', (event) => {
console.log('Received:', event.data);
});
sse.on('error', (error) => {
console.error('SSE Error:', error);
});
sse.connect();17. Smart Polling Utility
For legacy APIs that don't support real-time connections, use smart polling with backoff.
// Poll until status is 'completed'
const { promise } = Reixo.poll(async () => await client.get('/job/123'), {
interval: 2000, // Start with 2s interval
timeout: 60000, // Stop after 1 minute
stopCondition: (response) => response.data.status === 'completed',
backoff: {
factor: 1.5, // Increase interval by 50% each time
maxInterval: 10000, // Max 10s interval
},
});
const result = await promise;18. Real-Time Performance Benchmarks
Reixo's real-time clients are optimized for low overhead and high throughput.
| Operation | Latency (avg) | Throughput (ops/s) | | ------------------------- | ------------- | ------------------ | | WebSocket Instantiate | ~132ns | ~11M ops/s | | WebSocket Send | ~28ns | ~29M ops/s | | SSE Instantiate | ~1.17µs | ~7.1M ops/s | | Polling Overhead | ~1.41µs | ~1.3M ops/s |
Benchmarks run on M2 Pro, mocking network transport to measure library overhead.
🚀 Migration Guide
From axios
// axios
import axios from 'axios';
const response = await axios.get('/api/data', {
params: { limit: 10 },
headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer token' },
});
// Reixo
import { Reixo } from 'reixo';
const client = Reixo.HTTPBuilder.create('/api').build();
const response = await client.get('/data', {
params: { limit: 10 },
headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer token' },
});
// Response data is already parsed
console.log(response.data);From fetch
// fetch
const response = await fetch('/api/data');
const data = await response.json();
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Request failed');
}
// Reixo
const response = await client.get('/data');
// No need to parse JSON or check ok status
console.log(response.data);From node-fetch
// node-fetch
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
const data = await response.json();
// Reixo
const response = await client.get('https://api.example.com/data');
console.log(response.data);📦 Bundle Size & Performance
