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

Extends BaseClass:

Param	Type	Description
options	Object	Options container
options.route	string	Required. Route name
options.http_method	string	Http method to access this route (e.g., GET/POST/PUT/PATCH. By default ‘GET’.
options.form_name	string	Optional. Wraps the request body into a form_name, so request will look like {<form_name>:<request_body>}
options.headers	Object	Optional. Allows to provide additional http headers
options.default_route_parameters	Object	Optional. Provides default parameters for route, this defaults will be merged the urlParameters to get url
options.route_parameters_rename_map`	Object	Optional. Allows to rename incoming parameters, which came into send() function, to proper names. Please provide here an object with following structure: {<old-name>: <new-name>, …}
options.query_parameter_names	Array.string	Optional. Array of parameter names to put into query string (e.g. ?<parameter-name>=<value>&<parameter-name>=<value>). (The reason of adding this argument is that FOSRestBundle doesn’t provides acceptable query parameters for client usage, so it is required to specify list of them)
