Define Resources

Resources are a collection of methods for a given data model.

Entities and Schemas declaratively define the data model. Endpoints are the methods on that data.

REST

npm install --save @data-client/rest

resource() constructs a namespace of RestEndpoints

TodoResource

import { Entity, resource } from '@data-client/rest';

export class Todo extends Entity {
  id = 0;
  userId = 0;
  title = '';
  completed = false;

  static key = 'Todo';
}

export const TodoResource = resource({
  urlPrefix: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',
  path: '/todos/:id',
  schema: Todo,
  searchParams: {} as { userId?: string | number } | undefined,
  paginationField: 'page',
});

/** Methods can be called as functions or used in hooks */

// GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/5
TodoResource.get({ id: 5 });
// GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos
TodoResource.getList();
// GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos?userId=1
TodoResource.getList({ userId: 1 });
// POST https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos
TodoResource.getList.push({ title: 'my todo' });
// POST https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos?userId=1
TodoResource.getList.push({ userId: 1 }, { title: 'my todo' });
// GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos?userId=1&page=2
TodoResource.getList.getPage({ userId: 1, page: 2 });
// PUT https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/5
TodoResource.update({ id: 5 }, { title: 'my todo' });
// PATCH https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/5
TodoResource.partialUpdate({ id: 5 }, { title: 'my todo' });
// DELETE https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/5
TodoResource.delete({ id: 5 });

GraphQL

npm install --save @data-client/graphql

GQLEndpoint helps quickly defined queries and mutations

TodoResource

import { GQLEndpoint, GQLEntity } from '@data-client/graphql';

const gql = new GQLEndpoint('/');

export class Todo extends GQLEntity {
  title = '';
  completed = false;

  static key = 'Todo';
}

export const TodoResource = {
  getList: gql.query(
    `
  query GetTodos {
    todo {
      id
      title
      completed
    }
  }
`,
    { todos: new schema.Collection([Todo]) },
  ),
  update: gql.mutation(
    `mutation UpdateTodo($todo: Todo!) {
    updateTodo(todo: $todo) {
      id
      title
      completed
    }
  }`,
    { updateTodo: Todo },
  ),
};

Async/Promise

npm install --save @data-client/endpoint

Pre-existing TypeScript definitions can be used in Data Client with Endpoint and EntityMixin.

▶existing/Todo

▶TodoResource

import { schema, EntityMixin, Endpoint } from '@data-client/endpoint';
import {
  Todo,
  getTodo,
  getTodoList,
  updateTodo,
  partialUpdateTodo,
  createTodo,
  deleteTodo,
} from './existing/Todo';

export const TodoEntity = EntityMixin(Todo, { key: 'Todo' });

export const TodoResource = {
  get: new Endpoint(getTodo, { schema: TodoEntity }),
  getList: new Endpoint(getTodoList, {
    schema: new schema.Collection([TodoEntity]),
  }),
  update: new Endpoint(updateTodo, {
    schema: TodoEntity,
    sideEffect: true,
  }),
  partialUpdate: new Endpoint(partialUpdateTodo, {
    schema: TodoEntity,
    sideEffect: true,
  }),
  create: new Endpoint(createTodo, {
    schema: new schema.Collection([TodoEntity]).push,
    sideEffect: true,
  }),
  delete: new Endpoint(deleteTodo, {
    schema: new schema.Invalidate(TodoEntity),
    sideEffect: true,
  }),
};

To aid in defining Resources, composable and extensible protocol specific helpers are provided for REST, GraphQL, Image/binary, Websockets+SSE.

To use existing API definitions, or define your own protocol specific helpers, use Endpoint and EntityMixin from @data-client/endpoint. [See Async/Promise tab above]
