About

[!Highly Experimental - still in development]

Request from a restful api and link it to a model.

I am a fun of Restangular but I've got desapointed with the version of Angular 2+. But since AngularJs, I wish Restangular could bind them methods on prototype and not inside its body. So the idea of this lib was born.

It's very experimental and maybe not correctly implemented, but I'm still developing the framework. If you liked the idea and want to contribute, please send me an e-mail. Your help is welcome!

Installation

Install through npm:

npm install --save ngx-restmodel

Then create a service that extends RestBase and implement the desireds methods.

import { RestBase, Restful } from '../src/index';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Post } from './models/Post';

@Injectable()
@Restful({
  baseUrl: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com'
})
export class RestApi extends RestBase {
  constructor (http: HttpClient) {
    super(http);
  }

  // Here you can map the responses direct to your models
  protected mapModel(route: string, data: any) {
    if (route === 'posts') {
      return new Post(data);
    }

    return data;
  }
}

Finally use in one of your apps components:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { RestApi } from './restApi.service';
import { Post } from './models/Post';

@Component({
  selector: 'rest-demo-app',
  template: ``
})
export class DemoComponent {
  posts: Post[]

  constructor (private restApi: RestApi) {
  }

  GetPosts() {
    // Route to the desired path
    // Get /posts
    this.restApi.route('posts')
      .getList<Post>()
      .subscribe(response => {
        this.posts = response.getPlain();

        // You can route again just like restangular
        // Get /posts/1/comments
        response[0].route('comments')
          .getList()
          .subscribe(comments => {
          });
      });
  }
}
