sourcerer

Resource abstraction in vanilla JS, inspired by ngResource. For browsers, Node and io.js.

Currently under development but the basic version of the examples shown below is already implemented.

Features

• Promise-based
• Simple resource route definition
• Only depends on superagent
• Pagination for resource collections
• [TODO] Optionally can return data as immutables
