Alcaeus npm version Code coverage

Hydra Core library for JavaScript

Alcaeus (pronounced AL-SEE-UHS) is a Node.js/browser library for consuming Hydra APIs.

Alcaeus is the birth name of Heracles. The demigod who defeated Hydra.

Installation

Use npm or yarn:

npm i alcaeus

Requirements

Alcaues v3 is implemented only as ES Modules. It will work in recent versions on node and modern browsers.

Usage

Since v3 Alcaeus is configured using an RDF/JS Environment factory. This decouples the library from any specific RDF/JS implementation.

It is recommended to use the implementation provided by @zazuko/env which allows to easily reuse extend existing environments.

import create from 'alcaeus'
import Environment from '@zazuko/env/Environment.js'
import rdf from '@zazuko/env'

const env = new Environment(create(), { parent: rdf })

const { response, representation } = await env.hydra.loadResource('http://example.com/resource');
const rootResource = representation.root;

// contains supported classes, operations, etc.
const apiDocs = Hydra.apiDocumentations[0];
    
const id = rootResource.id;
