heracles

Hydra Core library for JavaScript

Heracles is a Promise-based library for consuming Hydra APIs

Browser support

You will need polyfills for older browsers:

	Chrome	Firefox	IExplore	Edge	Safari	Opera
window.fetch	<42	<39	<=11	<14	<=10	<29
WeakMap	<36	<6	<11		<7.1	<23

Heracles also uses some ES6 functions from the Object and Array prototypes. You may have to load polyfills like those of the core-js package:

import 'core-js/es6/object';
import 'core-js/es6/array';

Installation

Heracles uses JSPM for development and is probably best used with it:

jspm install npm:heracles

However, it is also possible to install from NPM directly.

npm install heracles

Heracles is bundled as a CommonJS module and has been verified to work fine with Webpack. Please let me know if you have any issues with other tools like Browserify, server-side NodeJS, etc.

Usage

import {Hydra} from 'heracles';
 
Hydra.loadResource('http://example.com/resource')
  .then(res => {
    // contains supported classes, operations, etc.
    var apiDocs = res.apiDocumentation;
    
    // same as res['@id']
    var id = res.id; 
  });
