ReactXP provides basic Network APIs for determining network connectivity, but it doesn’t provide ways to access the network once connected.
This extension provides a cross-platform mechanism for wrapping a simple REST API. It supports optional retry logic (including exponential backoff).
For more details, refer to the SimpleRestClients GitHub site.
To install: npm install simplerestclients or yarn add simplerestclients
import { GenericRestClient, ApiCallOptions } from 'simplerestclients';
import SyncTasks = require('synctasks');
export interface User {
id: string;
firstName: string;
lastName: string;
}
export default class MyRestClient extends GenericRestClient {
constructor(private _appId: string) {
super('https://myhost.com/api/v1/');
}
// Override _getHeaders to append a custom header with the app ID.
protected _getHeaders(options: ApiCallOptions): { [key: string]: string } {
let headers = super._getHeaders(options);
headers['X-AppId'] = this._appId;
return headers;
}
// Define public methods that expose the APIs provided through
// the REST service.
getAllUsers(): SyncTasks.Promise<User[]> {
return this.performApiGet<User[]>('users');
}
getUserById(id: string): SyncTasks.Promise<User> {
return this.performApiGet<User>('user/' + id);
}
