aspida


aspida


TypeScript friendly HTTP client wrapper for the browser and node.js.



Features

  • Path, URL query, header, body, and response can all specify the type
  • FormData / URLSearchParams content can also specify the type
  • HTTP client supports axios / fetch / node-fetch

vscode


Procedure

  1. Reproduce the endpoint directory structure in the "api" directory
  2. Export a Type alias named "Methods"
  3. Call "aspida" with npm scripts
  4. API type definition file "api/$api.ts" will be generated, so import the application and make an HTTP request

Getting Started

Installation (axios ver.)

  • Using npm:

    $ npm install aspida @aspida/axios axios
  • Using Yarn:

    $ yarn add aspida @aspida/axios axios

Create "api" directory

$ mkdir api

Type helper DefineMethods

DefineMethods<> is helper type for defining Methods. In earlier aspida, user shuold define without checking for API definition. If you already have aspida in your projects, you can easily use DefineMethods<> with surrounding your definition. It is just an option whether to use DefineMethods<>. Be aware of the limitation that DefineMethods<> can't detect extra meaningless properties.

Create an endpoint type definition file

  • GET: /v1/users/?limit={number}

  • POST: /v1/users

    api/v1/users/index.ts

    import type { DefineMethods } from "aspida";
    
    type User = {
      id: number;
      name: string;
    };
    
    export type Methods = DefineMethods<{
      get: {
        query?: {
          limit: number;
        };
    
        resBody: User[];
      };
    
      post: {
        reqBody: {
          name: string;
        };
    
        resBody: User;
        /**
         * reqHeaders(?): ...
         * reqFormat: ...
         * status: ...
         * resHeaders(?): ...
         * polymorph: [...]
         */
      };
    }>;
  • GET: /v1/users/${userId}

  • PUT: /v1/users/${userId}

    api/v1/users/_userId@number/index.ts

    Specify the type of path variable “userId” starting with underscore with “@number”
    If not specified with @, the default path variable type is "number | string"

    import type { DefineMethods } from "aspida";
    
    type User = {
      id: number;
      name: string;
    };
    
    export type Methods = DefineMethods<{
      get: {
        resBody: User;
      };
    
      put: {
        reqBody: {
          name: string;
        };
    
        resBody: User;
      };
    }>;

Build type definition file

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "api:build": "aspida"
  }
}
$ npm run api:build

> api/$api.ts was built successfully.

Make HTTP request from application

src/index.ts

import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api from "../api/$api";
(async () => {
  const userId = 0;
  const limit = 10;
  const client = api(aspida());

  await client.v1.users.post({ body: { name: "taro" } });

  const res = await client.v1.users.get({ query: { limit } });
  console.log(res);
  // req -> GET: /v1/users/?limit=10
  // res -> { status: 200, body: [{ id: 0, name: "taro" }], headers: {...} }

  const user = await client.v1.users._userId(userId).$get();
  console.log(user);
  // req -> GET: /v1/users/0
  // res -> { id: 0, name: "taro" }
})();

Change the directory where type definition file is placed to other than "api"

Create a configuration file at the root of the project

aspida.config.js

module.exports = { input: "src" };

Specify baseURL in configuration file

module.exports = { baseURL: "https://example.com/api" };

If you want to define multiple API endpoints, specify them in an array

module.exports = [{ input: "api1" }, { input: "api2", baseURL: "https://example.com/api" }];

Serialize GET parameters manually

aspida leaves GET parameter serialization to standard HTTP client behavior
If you want to serialize manually, you can use config object of HTTP client

src/index.ts

import axios from "axios";
import qs from "qs";
import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api from "../api/$api";
(async () => {
  const client = api(
    aspida(axios, { paramsSerializer: params => qs.stringify(params, { indices: false }) })
  );

  const users = await client.v1.users.$get({
    // config: { paramsSerializer: (params) => qs.stringify(params, { indices: false }) },
    query: { ids: [1, 2, 3] },
  });
  console.log(users);
  // req -> GET: /v1/users/?ids=1&ids=2&ids=3
  // res -> [{ id: 1, name: "taro1" }, { id: 2, name: "taro2" }, { id: 3, name: "taro3" }]
})();

POST with FormData

api/v1/users/index.ts

import type { DefineMethods } from "aspida";
import type { ReadStream } from "fs";

export type Methods = DefineMethods<{
  post: {
    reqFormat: FormData;

    reqBody: {
      name: string;
      icon: File | ReadStream;
    };

    resBody: {
      id: number;
      name: string;
    };
  };
}>;

src/index.ts

import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api from "../api/$api";
(async () => {
  const client = api(aspida());

  const user = await client.v1.users.$post({
    body: {
      name: "taro",
      icon: imageFile,
    },
  });
  console.log(user);
  // req -> POST: h/v1/users
  // res -> { id: 0, name: "taro" }
})();

Post in Node.js (>=1.6.0)

src/index.ts

import fs from "fs";
import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api from "../api/$api";
(async () => {
  const client = api(aspida());
  const fileName = "images/sample.jpg";
  const user = await client.v1.users.$post({
    body: {
      name: "taro",
      icon: fs.createReadStream(fileName),
    },
  });
  console.log(user);
  // req -> POST: h/v1/users
  // res -> { id: 0, name: "taro" }
})();

POST with URLSearchParams

api/v1/users/index.ts

import type { DefineMethods } from "aspida";

export type Methods = DefineMethods<{
  post: {
    reqFormat: URLSearchParams;

    reqBody: {
      name: string;
    };

    resBody: {
      id: number;
      name: string;
    };
  };
}>;

src/index.ts

import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api from "../api/$api";
(async () => {
  const client = api(aspida());

  const user = await client.v1.users.$post({ body: { name: "taro" } });
  console.log(user);
  // req -> POST: /v1/users
  // res -> { id: 0, name: "taro" }
})();

Receive response with ArrayBuffer

api/v1/users/index.ts

import type { DefineMethods } from "aspida";

export type Methods = DefineMethods<{
  get: {
    query: {
      name: string;
    };

    resBody: ArrayBuffer;
  };
}>;

src/index.ts

import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api from "../api/$api";
(async () => {
  const client = api(aspida());

  const user = await client.v1.users.$get({ query: { name: "taro" } });
  console.log(user);
  // req -> GET: /v1/users/?name=taro
  // res -> ArrayBuffer
})();

Define polymorphic request

api/users/index.ts

import type { DefineMethods } from 'aspida'

type User = {
  id: number
  name: string
}

export Methods = DefineMethods<{
  post: {
    // common properties
    reqFormat: FormData
    /**
     * query(?): ...
     * reqHeaders(?): ...
     * reqBody(?): ...
     * status: ...
     * resHeaders(?): ...
     * resBody(?): ...
     */
    polymorph: [
      // polymorphic types
      {
        reqBody: Omit<User, 'id'>
        resBody: User
        /**
         * query(?): ...
         * reqHeaders(?): ...
         * status: ...
         * resHeaders(?): ...
         */
      },
      {
        reqBody: Omit<User, 'id'>[]
        resBody: User[]
      }
    ]
  }
}>

src/index.ts

import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api from "../api/$api";
(async () => {
  const client = api(aspida());

  const user = await client.users.$post({ body: { name: "taro" } });
  console.log(user); // { id: 0, name: "taro" }

  const users = await client.users.$post({
    body: [{ name: "hanako" }, { name: "mario" }],
  });
  console.log(users); // [{ id: 1, name: "hanako" }, { id: 2, name: "mario" }]
})();

Define endpoints that contain special characters

Special characters are encoded as percent-encoding in the file name
Example ":" -> "%3A"

api/foo%3Abar/index.ts

import type { DefineMethods } from "aspida";

export type Methods = DefineMethods<{
  get: {
    resBody: string;
  };
}>;

api/users/_userId@number%3Aread/index.ts

import type { DefineMethods } from "aspida";

export type Methods = DefineMethods<{
  get: {
    resBody: User;
  };
}>;

With clients, "%3A" -> ":"

src/index.ts

import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api from "../api/$api";
(async () => {
  const client = api(aspida());

  const message = await client.foo_bar.$get();
  console.log(message);
  // req -> GET: /foo:bar

  const user = await client.users._userId_read(1).$get();
  console.log(user);
  // req -> GET: /users/1:read
})();

Import only some endpoints

If you don't need to use all of api/$api.ts , you can split them up and import only part of them
outputEachDir option generates $api.ts in each endpoint directory
$api.ts will not be generated under the directory containing the path variable

aspida.config.js

module.exports = { outputEachDir: true };

Import only $api.ts of the endpoint you want to use and put it into Object

src/index.ts

import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api0 from "../api/v1/foo/$api";
import api1 from "../api/v2/bar/$api";
(async () => {
  const aspidaClient = aspida();
  const client = {
    foo: api0(aspidaClient),
    bar: api1(aspidaClient),
  };

  const message = await client.bar._id(1).$get();
  // req -> GET: /v2/bar/1
})();

Retrieve endpoint URL string

src/index.ts

import aspida from "@aspida/axios";
import api from "../api/$api";
(async () => {
  const client = api(aspida());

  console.log(client.v1.users.$path());
  // /v1/users

  console.log(client.vi.users.$path({ query: { limit: 10 } }));
  // /v1/users?limit=10

  console.log(
    client.vi.users.$path({
      method: "post",
      query: { id: 1 },
    })
  );
  // /v1/users?id=1
})();

Reflect TSDoc comments

api/index.ts

import type { DefineMethods } from "aspida";

/**
 * root comment
 *
 * @remarks
 * root remarks comment
 */
export type Methods = DefineMethods<{
  /**
   * post method comment
   *
   * @remarks
   * post method remarks comment
   */
  post: {
    /** post query comment */
    query: { limit: number };

    /** post reqHeaders comment */
    reqHeaders: { token: string };

    reqFormat: FormData;
    /** post reqBody comment */
    reqBody: UserCreation;

    /**
     * post resBody comment1
     * post resBody comment2
     */
    resBody: User;
  };
}>;
$ npm run api:build

    $post: (option: {
      body: Methods0["post"]["reqBody"];
      query: Methods0["post"]["query"];
      headers: Methods0["post"]["reqHeaders"];
      config?: T;
    }) =>
      fetch<Methods0["post"]["resBody"]>(prefix, PATH0, POST, option)
        .json()
        .then(r => r.body),
  };
};
