Quick Overview

Here is a typical service definition and usage:

import { GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, BasePath, Header, Path, Body, BaseService, ServiceBuilder, Response } from "ts-retrofit";

interface User {
  id?: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

@BasePath("/api/v1")
class UserService extends BaseService {
  @GET("/users")
  async getUsers(@Header("Authorization") authorization: string): Promise<Response<Array<User>>> { return <Response<Array<User>>> {} };

  @GET("/users/{userId}")
  async getUser(@Header("Authorization") authorization: string, @Path("userId") userId: number): Promise<Response<User>> { return <Response<User>> {} };

  @POST("/users")
  async createUser(@Header("Authorization") authorization: string, @Body user: User): Promise<Response> { return <Response> {} };

  @PUT("/users/{userId}")
  async updateUser(@Header("Authorization") authorization: string, @Path("userId") userId: number, @Body user: User): Promise<Response> { return <Response> {} };

  @PATCH("/users/{userId}")
  async patchUser(@Header("Authorization") authorization: string, @Path("userId") userId: number, @Body user: Partial<User>): Promise<Response> { return <Response> {} };

  @DELETE("/users/{userId}")
  async deleteUser(@Header("Authorization") authorization: string, @Path("userId") userId: number): Promise<Response> { return <Response> {} };
}

(async () => {
  const authorization = "foobar";
  const userService = new ServiceBuilder()
    .setEndpoint("https://www.your-host.com")
    .build(UserService);
  const response = await userService.getUsers(authorization);
  // Now you can get response data from response.data
})()

You can see test file to get more examples.

ServiceBuilder

Example:

import { AxiosRequestConfig } from "axios";
import {
  ServiceBuilder,
  ResponseInterceptorFunction,
  RequestInterceptorFunction,
  RequestInterceptor,
  ResponseInterceptor,
} from "ts-retrofit";

@BasePath("/api/v1")
class ItemService extends BaseService {
  @GET("/items")
  async getItems(): Promise<Response<Array<Item>>> { return <Response<Array<Item>>> {} };
}

const RequestInterceptor: RequestInterceptorFunction = (config) => {
  console.log("Before sending request to server.");
  return config;
};

const ResponseInterceptor: ResponseInterceptorFunction = (response) => {
  console.log("After receiving response from server.");
  return response;
};

(async () => {
  const itemService = new ServiceBuilder()
	.setEndpoint(${ENDPOINT})
    .setStandalone(true)
    .setRequestInterceptors(RequestInterceptor)
    .setResponseInterceptors(ResponseInterceptor)
    .build(ItemService);
  const response: any = await itemService.getVersion();
  console.log(response.data);
})();

// outputs:
// Before sending request to server.
// After receiving response from server.
// <response data>

Log

You can set log callback to print some information after request finished (ok/error):

@BasePath("")
export class HealthService extends BaseService {
  @GET("/ping")
  @ResponseStatus(200)
  async ping(): Promise<Response> { return <Response>{} };
}
const myLogCallback = (config: RequestConfig, response: Response) => {
  const log = `[${config.method}] ${config.url} ${response.status}`;
  console.log(log); // [GET] http://localhost:12345/ping 200
};
const service = new ServiceBuilder()
  .setEndpoint("http://localhost:12345")
  .setLogCallback(myLogCallback)
  .build(HealthService);

// or use this
service.setLogCallback(myLogCallback);
const response = await service.ping();
