web-resource

A simple interface for fetching web resources.

Install

npm install web-resource

Usage

const Resource = require('web-resource')

Resource('http://example.com/items/1').get('json').then(function (data) {
 // do something with the data
})

Requests to the same domain are fetched serially, using an asynchronous queue, resolving a Promise when the request succeeds.

Usage: query parameters

The first argument to Resource is the URL, the second argument is the query parameters

Resource('http://example.com/items/', {
 sort: 'name',
 rows: 10
})

Usage: collections

The first argument to get is the format, the second argument is the options.

If options.next is set, the response data is passed to options.next; the next Resource to fetch should be returned. If options.next and options.process are set, the response data is passed to options.process instead of being returned when the Promise is resolved.

Resource('http://example.com/items/').get('json', {
  process: function (data) {
    data.resultList.result.forEach(function (item) {
      console.log(item)
    })
  },
  next: function (data) {
   return Resource(data._links.next.href)
  }
})
