Simple Javascript helper library for HTTP service clients

endpoints's Issues

Factor out repitition in Create and Method classes

This will allow for easily adding methods that can be applied at three levels:

1. The Endpoint level
2. The Method level (all GET requests originating from an endpoint)
3. The individual method level (a single GET request from an endpoint)

Improve gulp tasks

Needs a watch task that is fast and reliable.

Return a data management object

Instead of returning the endpoint after a call to the server, it is better to return a manager that can permute the endpoint, based on the response and the user's needs.

var callback = function(manager) {
  manager.updateEndpoint();
  console.log(manager.getResponse())
  console.log(manager.getEndpoint());
};

var myEndpoint = Endpoints.create('/')
  .methods(['get']);

myEndpoint.get
  .send()
  .then(callback)

Decouple endpoint and method implementations

Endpoint and method objects should not have to directly access eachother's properties. Http method helper can be used to decouple the two implementations, passing the method all details it needs, instead of the whole endpoint.

This will also allow thenApply to be implemented on a method, but before method creation, so doing: Endpoint.method.thenApply would be possible, instead of the one off Endpoint.method().thenApply.

Add basic functionality

Add endpoint implementation for basic endpoint patterns such as:

Collection: list and create ['GET', 'POST']
Resource: read, update, delete ['GET', 'PUT', 'DELETE']

Publish it to NPM

Factor out method helper function into a helper class

Build it on Travis

README Documentation

Add data property

Each endpoint pattern should have a data property at the same level as its methods. This attribute should be set to the value of the return object, and used, but default, as the source of data when POSTing or PUTing to the server.

Remove lodash as dep

Removing lodash as a build dep will reduce the footprint of this installable.
