Installation

yarn add @alejandro.devop/react-json-api-client

Usage

1. Define a file where you will include your endpoints a. The <post> rule specifies that the endpoint should be only called using this http method, but remember, the rule is not mandatory b. The :id: indicates a token which can be replace it when you call this endpoint

   Note: The maximum nested level should be two

@config/endpoints.json

{
    "auth": {
        "login": "<post>/api/v1/security/auth",
        "logout": "<post>/api/v1/security/logout"
    },
    "users": {
        "active": "<post>/api/v1/security/users/:id:/inactive",
        "changePassword": "<post>/api/v1/security/users/:id:/changePassword",
        "create": "<post>/api/v1/security/users",
    },
    "roles": {
        "list": "<get>/api/v1/security/roles"
    }
}

2. Add the api configurator wraping the components which will have access to the http client. app.tsx

import React from 'react'
import ApiClientConfigurator from '@alejandro.devop/react-json-api-client'
import endpoints from '@config/endpoints.json'

const App: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <ApiClientConfigurator
            config={{
                server: 'https://my-server',
                endpoints
            }}
        > 
            <>{/* my application navs... */}</>
        </ApiClientConfigurator>
    )
}

export default App
