Rain-util NPM | npm.io

rain-util

generator based toolkit for consuming apis, accessing postgres, and managing filesystem

npm i rain-util
const $util = require('rain-util');

for fast prototyping. use sub-packages if only a subset is needed

http requests

extends request.js additional properties may be passed as params (httpSignature, multipart, headers)

const api = new $util.http('https://maps.googleapis.com/');
const api2 = new $util.http('https://my.api.com/',
  { 'x-default-header':'its value'},
  {httpSignature:{keyId:'rsa-key-1',algorithm='rsa-sha256',signature:'Base64(RSA-SHA256(signing string))'}
);

const req = new $util.http();

const apiResponse = yield mapsApi.get('maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA');
console.log('apiResponse',apiResponse);
req.get('full url');

const api2Response = yield api2.post('another url', requestBody);

postgres

queries, data access objects, transactions, schema data

const conn = { host: 'localhost', db: 'postgres', user: 'postgres', password: 'postgres' };
const $postgres =  new $util.postgres(conn); // connection string also acceptable

if($postgres) {
  postgres.db.query('SELECT test');
// create a test table
        const tableName = 'testers';
        const testTable = `DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ${tableName}; CREATE TABLE ${tableName}(id CHARACTER constYING(40))WITH(OIDS=FALSE);ALTER TABLE ${tableName} OWNER TO postgres;`;
        yield $postgres.db.query(testTable);

// load created table into $postgres object
        $postgres.table(tableName);

// add a record
        const recordId = '4a2b';
        yield $postgres.tables[`${tableName}`].upsert({id: recordId});

// find created record using dao
        const daoRecord = yield  $postgres.tables[`${tableName}`].findOne('id = ?', recordId);

// find created record using sql
        const findRecordSQL = `SELECT * FROM ${tableName} WHERE id = '${recordId}'`;
        const sqlRecord = (yield $postgres.db.query(findRecordSQL)).rows[0];

// add new record
  $postgres.tables.books.upsert({id:'4324'})

//within transaction, find new record and then delete it
  $postgres.db.transaction(function*() {
    let record = yield $postgres.tables[`${tableName}`].findOne('id = ?', '4324');  
    yield $postgres.dao.delete(record); // delete by model throws if more than one row is affected
    yield $postgres.dao.delete('id = 4324'); // delete by query, returns count
  });
}


// get schema information
const schema = yield $postgres.schema();

generator utilities

util.genify - (function) convert regular functions into generator functions
yield util.array.(forEach|map|filter|forEachSeries)

file utilities

extends co-fs - all core node fs methods available as generators

$util.fs.download   - (file or file array) downloads url(s) to file(s)
$util.fs.upsert     - (dir or dir array) creates dir if non-existent (uses mkdirp)
$util.fs.fetch     - (file or dir) read file or directory contents
$util.fs.rimraf     - (path) yieldable rm -rf
$util.fs.json.(read|write)  - (file, obj, options)

requires node 4.2 or higher
