Halpert

Halpert is a library for representing and interfacing with hypermedia formats. It provides a way for converting to and from these formats, along with methods for filtering and parsing through them in a general way.

Install

Use npm to install halpert.

npm install halpert

Supported Formats

HAL+JSON - Currently only parses HAL objects

Usage

Initializing and Registering Formats

To initialize a Halpert object and register the formats, require the halpert package along with any formats desired. The example below includes the HAL+JSON format.

var Halpert = require('halpert'),
    halJson = require('halpert-hal-json');

halpert = new Halpert;
halpert.registerFormat(halJson);

Representing Documents

Once you have a Halpert object like above, you can then start representing documents.

var doc = {
  _links: { self: { href: "/customer/4" }},
  full_name: "John Doe",
  email: "john@doe.com"
}

represnter = halpert.represent(doc, 'application/hal+json');
