#JSON API Entitizer

This library was created because consuming a JSON API spec API can be a pain in the ass; especially while following Redux practices. The library is designed to receive JSON API spec JSON and transform it to a specific format following a similar pattern as normalizr.

##Installing To install using npm run:

$ npm install json-api-entitizer --save

##api

entitize(json)

the entitize(json) function will transform this json:

{
  "data": [{
    "type": "articles",
    "id": "1",
    "attributes": {
      "title": "JSON API paints my bikeshed!",
      "body": "The shortest article. Ever.",
      "created": "2015-05-22T14:56:29.000Z",
      "updated": "2015-05-22T14:56:28.000Z"
    },
    "relationships": {
      "author": {
        "data": {"id": "42", "type": "people"}
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "type": "books",
    "id": "3",
    "attributes": {
      "title": "Hello world",
      "blurb": "It's the greatest",
      "created": "2015-05-22T14:56:29.000Z",
      "updated": "2015-05-22T14:56:28.000Z"
    }
  },
  {
    "type": "books",
    "id": "4",
    "attributes": {
      "title": "Javascript can be good sometimes",
      "blurb": "and sometimes it hurts",
      "created": "2015-05-22T14:56:29.000Z",
      "updated": "2015-05-22T14:56:28.000Z"
    }
  }],
  "included": [
    {
      "type": "people",
      "id": "42",
      "attributes": {
        "name": "John",
        "age": 80,
        "gender": "male"
      }
    }
  ]
}

into this:
