API-Ninja

Handles the instantiation of multiple different APIs so they can be used across multiple Node modules.

Basic Usage

For APIs that take parameters directly i.e. new MyAPI(param1, param2) you can use the following pattern. The first two parameters are required (key and module name), all subsequent parameters are passed through to the API's constructor.

const apis = require('api-ninja');

// Initialise and use the API immediately.
const tel  = apis.init('tel', require('twilio'), config.twilio.accountSID, config.twilio.authToken);

// Also use the API in another module.
const tel = apis.use('tel');

Advanced Usage

For APIs that require a more complicated setup you can pass in a function instead of a config object:

const apis = require('api-ninja');

// Initialise with function.
const myAPI  = apis.init('my-api', require('my-api-module'), (module) => {
  return new module.InitThis('abc', 123);
});
