Request Api Adapter

#javascript

When developing client applications, it is often necessary to send requests to the server.

// ... client({ url: "/users.json", method: "GET" }).then(...)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

We can make our lives a little easier. A convenient abstraction is apiAdapter

// apiAdapter.js function getUsers() { return { url: "/users.json", method: "GET" }; } const apiAdapter = createAdapter(client, {}, { getUsers, })
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

By defining a request in one place, you can now simply call the adapter method you want.

import apiAdapter from './apiAdapter' apiAdapter.getUsers().then(...)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It is also a useful option to specify basic settings for all requests, as well as handling errors and successful requests.

const apiAdapter = createAdapter( client, { withCredentials: true }, { getUsers, }, successHandler, errorHandler, )
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
