luu

luu

A Node.js client library for the University of Waterloo's Open Data API.

Installation

npm install --save luu

Usage

Import the Client from luu.

import { Client } from 'luu';

const client = new Client('YOUR_API_KEY');

Or, with require(),

const luu = require('luu');

const client = new luu.Client('YOUR_API_KEY');

Make a request.

// request() returns a promise which resolves to the JSON response from the API
client.request('foodservices/menu')
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

You can specify parameters for the endpoint string as well. This library uses sprintf-js to parse the endpoint string. Pre-defined parameterized endpoint strings are exported through Constants.

import { Constants } from 'luu';

client.request(Constants.FS_YEAR_WEEK_MENU, {
  year: 2015,
  week: 2,
}).then(console.log);

// equivalent to
client.request('foodservices/%(year)s/%(week)s/menu', {
  year: 2015,
  week: 2,
}).then(console.log);

// specify an array of parameters
client.request(Constants.FS_YEAR_WEEK_MENU, [2015, 2]).then(console.log);
