Serverless backend API Library for HTML Frontend. Build fullstack web applications directly from your HTML without backend engineering.
No fancy framework or complex deployment required. Just focused on the basics, Skapi is a single JavaScript library fully compatible with vanilla HTML, as well as any frontend frameworks.
Skapi provides all the backend features you need for your web application out of the box, without the need to set up or maintain any backend servers.
My Services page.Skapi is compatible with both vanilla HTML and webpack-based projects (ex. Vue, React, Angular... etc).
You need to import the library using the <script> tag or install via npm.
For vanilla HTML projects, import Skapi in the script tag, and initialize the library.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/skapi-js@latest/dist/skapi.js"></script>
<script>
const skapi = new Skapi('service_id', 'owner_id');
</script>
Be sure to replace 'service_id' and 'owner_id' with the actual values of your service
For more information, check out our documentation.
To use Skapi in a SPA projects (such as Vue, React, or Angular), you can install skapi-js via npm.
$ npm i skapi-js
Then, import the library into your main JavaScript file.
// main.js
import { Skapi } from 'skapi-js';
const skapi = new Skapi('service_id', 'owner_id');
// Export the skapi instance, so you can use it in other components
export { skapi }
After you initialized the Skapi library, you can test your connection by pinging your request with the mock() method.
Below is an example of how you can use the mock() method in HTML forms.
<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/skapi-js@latest/dist/skapi.js"></script>
<script>
const skapi = new Skapi('service_id', 'owner_id');
</script>
<form onsubmit='skapi.mock(event).then(ping=>alert(ping.msg))'>
<input name='msg' placeholder='Test message'>
<input type='submit' value='Test Connection'>
</form>
This will send a request to your Skapi service and ping back the response.
When the request is resolved, the mock() method will return the response data as a Promise object.
The response data will be displayed in an alert box.
