Requests have never been more convenient and declerative. The Requestor library lets you define request data-stractures like ModelRequestor and CollectionRequestor which can be used anywhere, anytime, on different documents. Not only that, the Requestor will also chain the requests using es6's Promise.
Requestor is available for both server-side and client side and can be downloaded via Github.
Requestor has the following dependencies on client side:
- Promise - Which won't work on old browsers and can be loaded using any polyfilling library.
- jquery - Which is used to make ajax requests. A costume request method can be defined using defineRequestMethod.
var Post = ModelRequestor("Post", {
urlRoot: "http://www.mail.com",
entity: "posts",
requests: {
markAsRead: "PUT ./markAsRead",
isReaden: "PUT ./isReaden "
},
createMarkAsReadRequestData: function(data) {
return { markAsRead: data };
},
transformIsReadenResponseBody: function(body) {
return body.isReaden;
}
});
var post = new Post();
post.create({ username: "DAB0mB" }).then(function() {
return post.markAsRead(true);
}).then(function() {
return post.isReaden();
}).then(function(isReaden) {
console.log(isReaden);
});Defines a custome request method
