Utils

Explanation

These utilities are the building blocks which are used throughout this library to create the methods for the Resource’s. You can use these functions to write your own Resource methods.

get

The get function does a GET request to the given url, with the query params if they are provided. It then passes along the result to the configured middleware for processing.

For example:

import { get } from '@42.nl/spring-connect';

get('/api/pokemon', { page: 1 }).then(json => {
  // Do something with the json here
});

Note: that the second parameter can be left empty if you have no query parameters.

post

The post function does a POST request to the given url, with the given payload. Then gives the result to the configured middleware for processing.

post('/api/pokemon', { name: 'bulbasaur' }).then(json => {
  // Do something with the json here
});

The payload can also be a FormData object, which is useful when uploading files: See MDN.

put

The put function does a PUT request to the given url, with the given payload. It then gives the result to the configured middleware for processing.

put('/api/pokemon/1', { id: 1, name: 'bulbasaur' }).then(json => {
  // Do something with the json here
});

The payload can also be a FormData object, useful for when uploading files: See MDN.

patch

The patch function does a PATCH request to the given url, with the given payload. Then gives the result to the configured middleware for processing.

patch('/api/pokemon/1', { id: 1, name: 'bulbasaur' }).then(json => {
  // Do something with the json here
});

The payload can also be a FormData object, useful for when uploading files: See MDN.

remove

The remove function does a DELETE request to the given url. Then gives the result to the configured middleware for processing.

import { remove } from '@42.nl/spring-connect';

remove('/api/pokemon/1').then(() => {
  // Do something here.
});
