A convenient Fetch API library with first-class middleware support.

• Drop-in replacement for fetch().
• Simple BREAD methods for consuming REST APIs.
• A "queries" object option for building safe query strings more easily.
• All options can be computed values: myHeaders: () => values
• Custom middlewares to manipute requests, responses, and caught errors.
• Useful middlewares and handlers (JSON/Auth/CSRF/Immutable etc) available as separate npm packages.
• Fetch API Streams draft handler with an Observable interface.
• Runs in Node and all browsers.

import/require

import {fetch, createClient} from "fetch-plus";

fetch

fetch("http://some.api.example/v1", {
	query: {foo: "bar"},                // Query string object. So convenient.
	body: () => "R2-D2"                 // Computed values are computed.
});

createClient

Creates a RESTful client so middlewares can be added to it.

const client = createClient("http://some.api.example/v1");

client.addMiddleware

Create middlewares like: (request) => (response) => response

client.addMiddleware(
	(request) => {
		request.path += ".json";
		request.options.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json; charset=utf-8";

		return (response) => response.json();
	}
);

client.request

request performs generic requests to the configured endpoint.

client.request("posts/25/comments", {
	method: "POST",
	body: {comment: "C-3PO"}
});

client.browse|read|edit|add|destroy|replace

BREAD helpers that perform requests to the configured endpoint.

client.browse(            
	"posts"                    // A string...
);

client.add(
	["posts", 1, "comments"],  // ...or an array like ["posts", id, "comments"]
	{body: "C-3PO"}            // Regular Fetch API body option.
);

client.list|create|read|update|destroy

CRUD aliases that perform requests to the configured endpoint.

client.list(            
	"posts"                    // A string...
);

client.create(
	["posts", 1, "comments"],  // ...or an array like ["posts", id, "comments"]
	{body: "C-3PO"}            // Regular Fetch API body option.
);

handlers

Handlers take configuration and return functions to pass to .then().

// Transform JSON with fetch-plus-json.
import plusJson from "fetch-plus-json";

fetch("http://some.api.example/v1/posts").then(plusJson.handler({some:"config"}));
