Javascript client for Camomile REST API

camomile-client-javascript's Issues

Auto-reconnect

Python client automatically reconnects when keep_alive=True.
Would be great to add the same behavior to the Javascript client.

Make a npm package

Simplify "watch" API

As of today, in order to watch a corpus, we need to do two things: client.listen followed by client.watchCorpus.

It is not yet consistent with the Python client for which the client.listen equivalent is hidden from the end user. Only client.watchCorpus is needed.

Would be great to change the javascript client to match this behavior (cc @rom1504)

Switch to JavaScript Module Pattern

http://www.adequatelygood.com/JavaScript-Module-Pattern-In-Depth.html

in package.json, the "main" property should point to the built library

Currently in package.json, the "main" property points to index.js which is written in es2015.

This creates an error when used with webpack where most common configs exclude node_modules from the babel compilation.

A solution would be to use the "module" key for the es2015 version like so:

"main": "camomile.js",
"module": "index.js"

More about the package.json "module" key here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42708484/what-is-the-module-package-json-field-for

Use a class instead of a global Camomile object

I think it would be better and would be closer to the python API https://github.com/camomile-project/camomile-client-python/blob/master/camomile/client.py#L149

Something like var client = new Camomile('http://camomile.fr/api');
