ApiAccessor

Abstraction of api access point. This class is by design to be initiated from the server configuration.

The following example of configuration provided on the server is a sample usage of api_accessor with a full set of options provided(except route_parameters_rename_map):

save_api_accessor:
    route: orocrm_opportunity_task_update # for example this route uses following mask
                        # to generate url /api/opportunity/{opportunity_id}/tasks/{id}
    http_method: POST
    headers:
        Api-Secret: ANS2DFN33KASD4F6OEV7M8
    default_route_parameters:
        opportunity_id: 23
    action: patch
    query_parameter_names: [action]

Then the following code on the client:

var apiAP = new ApiAccessror(serverConfiguration);
apiAP.send({id: 321}, {name: 'new name'}).then(function(result) {
    console.log(result)
})

Will raise POST request to /api/opportunity/23/tasks/321?action=patch with body == {name: ‘new name’} and will put response to console after completion
