micro-api-client

Small library for talking to micro REST APIs (not related to Netlify's main API).

Installation

yarn add micro-api-client

Usage

import API, { getPagination } from 'micro-api-client'
 
const api = new API("/some/api/endpoint");
api
  .request("foo")
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

API

api = new API(apiURL, [opts])

Create a new micro-api-client instance. apiURL can be a full or relative URL. Optional opts include:

{
  defaultHeaders: {
  } // header values to include in every request.
}

api.request(path, [opts])

Make a request to the apiURL at the given path. Optional opts are passed to the fetch API:

// Default options
{
  headers: {} // Optional headers object.  Overrides defaultHeaders
  credentials: "same-origin" // set fetch credentials option
  "Content-Type": "application/json" // set Content-Type fetch option
}

Returns a promise with the response. If the contentType is JSON, it will be checked for pagination and return either the parsed JSON object or a paginated JSON object:

// See src/pagination.js
{
  pagination: {
    last,
    next,
    prev,
    first,
    current,
    total
  },
  items: json
}

If an error occurs during the request, the promise may be rejected with an HTTPError, TextHTTPError, or JSONHTTPError.

class HTTPError extends Error

Additional error properties from Error

{
  stack, // stack trace of error
  status // status code of response
}

class TextHTTPError extends HTTPError

Additional error properties from HTTPError

{
  data // data of text response
}

class JSONHTTPError extends HTTPError

Additional error properties from HTTPError

{
  json // json of a JSON response
}

pagination = getPagination(response)

Returns a pagination object that micro-api-client uses internally.
