Option to change bodyAttr

[sximba]

Hi @tulios

Prior to version 2.0.0 we had something like this:
Mappersmith.forge(Manifest, Gateway, "data")

Is there a way to achieve the same (pass a custom bodyAttr) on version >= 2.0.0?

PS: If possible, can you put together a minimal migration guide?

[tulios]

Yes :)

You can take a look here (https://github.com/tulios/mappersmith#body), but in a nutshell you can use the bodyAttr when defining your methods, example:

// ...
{
  create: { method: 'post', path: '/blogs', bodyAttr: 'payload' }
}
// ...

client.Blog.create({
  payload: {
    title: 'Title',
    tags: ['party', 'launch']
  }
})

Is it not possible to make it a global config like before?

[tulios]

Currently it's not possible, is it something you would like to have?

[sximba]

Yeah. It would be nice to have some of the resource attributes i.e bodyAttr, headersAttr and authAttr configurable at a higher level than resource definition, like host.

My thinking behind this is that they are less likely to change than path and method. So that something like the following is possible:

const client = forge({
  host: 'https://status.github.com',
  bodyAttr: 'data',
  headersAttr: 'h',
  resources: {
    User: {
      all: { path: '/users' }
    }
  }
})
