Breathe Easy
An extensible, JavaScript REST client base class.
Usage
Breathe Easy is a barebones set of objects for constructing RESTful JavaScript web service consumers.
That being said, it also provides an object called Smoother
that removes much of the boilerplate involved in constructing a client.
Basic Usage with Smoother
Include smoother.min.js
and you're good to go.
Let's say we want to represent GitHub's users api.
Github = Smoother.new('https://api.github.com');
Github.register('User', function() {
this.base('users');
this.member(function() {
this.setup(function(username) {
this.username = username;
});
this.base(function() {
return this.username;
});
this.get('gists');
});
});
u = Github.User.new('benastan');
u.url();
=> https://api.github.com/users/benastan
u.get().done(function(user) { console.log(user.id); });
=> 588040
u.gists().done(function(gists) { console.log(gists[0].description); });
=> Stupid simple rails modals.
Sweet damn! An API Consumer in 10 lines.
