Latest stable release

Usage

var vegvesenClient  = require("vegvesen");
var vegvesen = new vegvesenClient();

vegvesen.connect(function(){
    vegvesen.vegobjekter.spesifiktVegobjekt(82559833, function(obj){
        console.log(obj);
    });
});

All methods are loaded dynamically when connect() is called. This is dictated by the specification of the API. So for an up-to-date guide, check the official documentation.

Examples

If the API endpoint url changes, you can provide an optional argument in the constructor

new VegvesenClient("https://api.endpoint.url");

You can also provide an optional options object to change request and response parameters

new VegvesenClient("https://api.endpoint.url", {
    requestConfig: {
     timeout: 1000,
        noDelay: true,
        keepAlive: true
    },
    responseConfig: {
        timeout: 1000 //response timeout 
    }
});

Function names are based off of the "rel" property of each API object. So e.g.

<ressurs rel="spesifikt-vegobjekt" uri="/vegobjekter/objekt/{vegobjekt-id}"/>

can be accessed by calling

vegvesen.vegobjekter.spesifiktVegobjekt();

Some methods requires parameters, theese can be specified like:

vegvesen.vegobjekter.spesifiktVegobjekt(487458622);

In case a method requires multiple parameters, they can be supplied by passing an array containing the arguments, e.g.

vegvesen.vegreferanse.vegreferanseFraWgs84Koordinat([5.26835878197702, 60.38078971681345]});

To access the result of an API call, every method also takes a callback function as the last argument, e.g.

vegvesen.vegobjekter.spesifiktVegobjekt(487458622, function(data){
    console.log(data);
});
