Lightning Server Simplified

A TypeScript library providing web tools and client utilities for interacting with Lightning Server, a Kotlin backend framework.

Installation

npm install @lightningkite/lightning-server-simplified

Usage

REST Endpoints

This library provides a RestEndpoint interface for CRUD operations on resources:

import { RestEndpoint } from '@lightningkite/lightning-server-simplified';

// Assuming you have a RestEndpoint instance for a User model
const users: RestEndpoint<User> = /* ... */;

// Query users
const userList = await users.query({ condition: { name: { Equal: "John Doe" } } });

// Insert a new user
const newUser = await users.insert({ _id: 'user-id', name: 'John Doe', email: '[e-mail]' });

// Modify a user
const updatedUser = await users.modify('user-id', { name: { Assign: 'Jane Doe' } });

Conditions and Modifications

Use Condition and Modification types to build complex queries and updates:

import { Condition, Modification } from '@lightningkite/lightning-server-simplified';

const condition: Condition<User> = {
  name: { Equal: 'John' }
};

const modification: Modification<User> = {
  name: { Assign: 'Jane' }
};

API Overview

• apiCall: Low-level API call utility with support for JSON and file uploads.
• RestEndpoint: Interface for RESTful CRUD operations.
• Condition: Type for building query conditions.
• Modification: Type for building update modifications.
• Fetching utilities: Basic and bulk fetchers for data retrieval.
• Mock endpoints: Tools for mocking REST endpoints in tests.
