angel_client

Client library for the Angel framework. This library provides virtually the same API as an Angel server. The client can run in the browser or on the command-line. In addition, the client supports angel_auth authentication.

Usage

// Choose one or the other, depending on platform
import 'package:angel_client/io.dart';
import 'package:angel_client/browser.dart';

main() async {
  Angel app = new Rest("http://localhost:3000");
}

You can call service to receive an instance of Service, which acts as a client to a service on the server at the given path (say that five times fast!).

foo() async {
  Service Todos = app.service("todos");
  List<Map> todos = await Todos.index();

  print(todos.length);
}

The CLI client also supports reflection via json_god. There is no need to work with Maps; you can use the same class on the client and the server.

class Todo extends Model {
  String text;

  Todo({String this.text});
}

bar() async {
  // By the next release, this will just be:
  // app.service<Todo>("todos")
  Service Todos = app.service("todos", type: Todo);
  List<Todo> todos = await Todos.index();

  print(todos.length);
}

Just like on the server, services support index, read, create, modify, update and remove.
