Define Async Methods (Endpoints)

Endpoints are the methods of your data. Entities are a type of Schema, which define the data model. Resources are a collection of endpoints around one schema.

npm install --save @rest-hooks/rest
api/Todo
import { createResource, Entity } from '@rest-hooks/rest';
export class Todo extends Entity {
id = 0;
userId = 0;
title = '';
completed = false;
pk() {
return `${this.id}`;
}
static key = 'Todo';
}
export const TodoResource = createResource({
urlPrefix: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',
path: '/todos/:id',
schema: Todo,
});
Methods
import { TodoResource } from './api/Todo';
// GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/5
TodoResource.get({ id: 5 });
// GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos
TodoResource.getList();
// POST https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos
TodoResource.create({ title: 'my todo' });
// PUT https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/5
TodoResource.update({ id: 5 }, { title: 'my todo' });
// PATCH https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/5
TodoResource.partialUpdate({ id: 5 }, { title: 'my todo' });
// DELETE https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/5
TodoResource.delete({ id: 5 });

It's highly encouraged to design APIs with consistent patterns. Because of this, you can extend our protocol specific helpers. After choosing your protocol, you can read up on the full docs for reach protocol REST, GraphQL, Image/binary, Websockets+SSE

To use your own protocol or existing helpers, use the lower-level primitives from @rest-hooks/endpoint like Endpoint and schema.Entity. [See Promise tab above]
