XHR adapter for apicase-core

Installation

XHR adapter is out-of-the-box adapter and it's installed in apicase-core by default

Basic usage

apicase.call({
  adapter: 'xhr',
  url: '/api/posts',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: { token: 'my_secret_token' },
  query: { userId: 1 }
})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error)

It will call:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.open('GET', '/api/posts?userId=1', true)
xhr.onload = function onload (e) {
  // See validators
  if (isSuccess(e.target, e)) {
    console.log(e)
  } else {
    console.error(e)
  }
}
xhr.setRequestHeader('token', 'my_secret_token')
xhr.send(null)

Advanced

Url params

Fetch adapter also has path-to-regexp to pass urls params smarter. Params are stored in params property

apicase.call({
  adapter: 'xhr',
  url: '/api/posts/:id',
  params: { id: 1 }
})
// => GET /api/posts/1

Dynamic headers

If you want to create dynamic headers object so you can pass headers property as function that returns headers object

apicase.call({
  adapter: 'fetch',
  url: '/api/posts',
  method: 'POST',
  headers: () => ({
    token: localStorage.getItem('token')
  })
})

It will be called every time you make a request so if token will be removed, header won't be sent too.

Validator function

I've added possibility to customizate resolve/reject apicase requests with validator callback.
It accepts xhr target and onload event

apicase.call({
  adapter: 'fetch',
  url: '/api/posts',
  validator: (target, event) => 
    target.status >= 200 && target.status <= 299
})

Default validator function is here:

function defaultValidator (target, event) {
  return (target.status >= 200 && target.status <= 299) || target.status === 304
}

Progress and aborted hooks

I know that people use XHR instead of fetch because of calls abortion and upload progress handling.
So there are two custom hooks for that - progress and aborted:

apicase.call({
  url: '/upload',
  method: 'POST',
  body: ...,
  hooks: {
    // xhr.onprogress
    progress (event, next) { 
      console.log(event)
      next()
    },
    // xhr.onabort
    aborted (event, next) { 
      console.log(event)
      next()
    }
  }
})

NOTE: event also has options property with request options because apicase calls all hooks with options injected.
