.environment

It returns the environment that you are using at this moment.

parrot.environment
# => 'development'

The default environment is development.

parrot.endpoint

The methods that are available in the parrot.endpoint namespace are:

.add(<Object>)

It registers a new endpoint. Object must have:

name : 'development'
url  : 'http://localhost:1337'

When you register an endpoint it is accesible in the parrot.endpoint namespace:

parrot.endpoint.development()
# => http://localhost:1337

URL Management makes easier to do ajax or sockets requests with your backend. In order to do it, you need first to register the URLs. Each URL has a different schema, as protocol, path and/or query.

parrot.URL

.add(<Object>)

It registers a new URL. The minimum information you need to check is:

name: 'login'

You can specify the same options than ajax options and other options specify of the URL:

path  : 'user/find'
query : ['sort','id asc']

Remember that in a URL Object the url is equal to:

<endpoint URL>/[url.path]/[url.query]

Now, the URL is available in the parrot.url namespace:

parrot.url.login()
# => { method: 'GET', protocol: 'http', path: 'user/login', query: null }

If you want update a value, you can provide an argument when you call the method. For example, if you want to login you need to send the user information to the server:

user = username: 'kiko', password: 'nerd'
parrot.url.login send: user
