This is a simple javascript file to consume REST style APIs. I created this as a means to easily interacte with whichever API I happened to be dealing with at the time based on some hacking around on my own.
The API you're trying to hit should implement a single endpoint for each HTTP GET/POST/PUT/DELETE method. I.E you should be able to hit http://path/to/api with all 4 headers and get a result. In order to use paging and filtering, the API should also support ODATA
You can check /tests/index.html for examples of requests, but here's a quick example:
var api = new RestAPIWrapper({url: 'http://path/to/some/api'});
api.get({ controller: 'foo', success: function(data) { alert('Got ' + data.length + ' items.') } });
This hits an endpoint of http://path/to/some/api/get with a get request and returns the first X amount of rows. To continue paging you can simply call:
api.next({ success: function(data) { alert('Got next' + data.length + ' items.') } });
Thus far I've only used this on self-written C# APIs written with the new MVC Web-Api framework, but it should work on any REST style API
There's a few TODOs in the restapiwrapper.js file and am debating if its worth adding a jquery plugin wrapper around this as well.
