A Javascript helper library for http://swapi.co/ - the Star Wars API

Requirements

• love of Star Wars

Installation

bower install swapi-js

Usage

swapi.getPerson(1).then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
});

There is a general get method that takes a url. So this is also possible:

swapi.get('http://swapi.co/api/people/?page=2').then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
});

When you call a "Base URL", like http://swapi.co/api/people/, it will include a next and previous parameter. These will be the link to the next/previous page of data.

There are helper methods to get results from the next/previous page called nextPage and previousPage. Each of these returns a Promise

Here is an example

swapi.get('http://swapi.co/api/people/').then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
    return result.nextPage();
}).then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
    return result.previousPage();
}).then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
}).catch(function (err) {
    console.log(err);
});

Note

This API tries to follow the API for the Python helper lib here: https://github.com/phalt/swapi-python
