REST requests?

[gavinengel]

How should I integrate REST API calls to a with Espresso? Are there any recommended libraries, or even examples?

You can use any library you like to fetch data and update espresso collections/models. Personally I like superagent and fetch but jQuery's ajax function is fine too if you're already using jQuery in your project. Example using superagent:

var collection = new Espresso.Collection();
request.get('/posts').end(function(err, res) {
  // update the collection which triggers events as necessary
  collection.set(res) 
});
