Usage
Realm-JSONAPI provides various methods to interact with your JSONAPI web service. Here are some of the core features:
Retrieve Data
Use the fetchData
method to retrieve data from the server:
realmJsonApi.fetchData('/posts')
This will return a Promise with the JSONAPI response containing the retrieved data.
Create Data
Use the createData
method to create new data on the server:
realmJsonApi.createData('/posts', {
type: 'post',
attributes: {
title: 'New Post',
body: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet'
}
})
This will return a Promise with the JSONAPI response containing the newly created data.
Update Data
Use the updateData
method to update existing data on the server:
realmJsonApi.updateData('/posts/123', {
type: 'post',
id: '123',
attributes: {
title: 'Updated Post',
body: 'Updated content'
}
})
This will return a Promise with the JSONAPI response containing the updated data.
Delete Data
Use the deleteData
method to delete data on the server:
realmJsonApi.deleteData('/posts/123')
This will return a Promise with the JSONAPI response indicating the success or failure of the operation.
Advanced Features
Realm-JSONAPI offers additional features to enhance your experience:
Caching
Realm-JSONAPI supports caching of data retrieved from the server. By default, caching is enabled. To disable caching, use the following configuration:
realmJsonApi.configure({
...
cacheEnabled: false
});
Offline Support
Realm-JSONAPI provides offline support, allowing you to perform operations even when the device is offline. The library will synchronize the changes with the server once a network connection is established.
Note: Offline support requires additional configuration and setup. Refer to the official documentation for further details.
