Installation

Through yarn

yarn add react-supermodel

Through NPM

npm install react-supermodel --save

Get started

1. Setup

The first thing you need to do is to init main config. Typically, your app's top-level component or main file like index.js will probably contains this config.

import {setConfig} from 'react-supermodel'
setConfig( options )

options.tree – required

Baobab instance. Make sure you have an $api cursor in your tree.

import Baobab from 'baobab'
import {setConfig} from 'react-supermodel'
const tree = new Baobab({$api: {}})
setConfig({tree})

options.accept

Accept header for request. Default is json See – https://visionmedia.github.io/superagent/#setting-accept

options.auth

Authorization header. Default is empty string. Can be string or function. For example:

{
  auth: `Bearer: USER_TOKEN`,
  // Or using dynamic token
  auth: () => `Bearer: ${window.ComputeUserToken()}`,
}

options.prefix

Base URL prefix. All model's requests will be prefixed with it. If you are going to use custom domain as prefix, make sure you know about CORS and credentials (see below).

setConfig({prefix: '/api'})
// Or custom domain
setConfig({prefix: 'http://customdomain.com/api'})

options.withCredentials

This option enables the ability to send cookies from the origin, however only when Access-Control-Allow-Origin is not a wildcard ("*"), and Access-Control-Allow-Credentials is "true". See – https://visionmedia.github.io/superagent/#cors

options.onSuccess

–

options.onError

–

2. Create model

Main.

import {Model} from 'react-supermodel'
const UserModel = new Model({
  name: 'User', // This will be the name in props for connected component
  api: {
    get: '/users/:id',
    list: '/users',
    create: 'POST /users',
    delete: 'DELETE /users/:id',
    update: 'PUT /users/:id',
  }
})

modelOptions.name – required

–

modelOptions.idKey

–

modelOptions.dataItemKey

–

modelOptions.dataListkey

–

modelOptions.optimistic

–

modelOptions.api – required

–

3. Create connection

import connect from 'react-supermodel'
import UserModel from './models/UserModel'
@connect(UserModel)

Examples

import connect from 'react-supermodel'
import UserModel from './models/UserModel'
@connect(UserModel)
class App extends Component {
  render(){
    return (
      <ul>
        {this.props.User.list().data.map({data} =>
          <li key={data.id}>{data.name}</li>
        )}
      </ul>
    )
  }
}

Using with redux / etc

–

Using without React
