# angel_client
Client library for the Angel framework.
# Isomorphic
The REST client can run in the browser or on the command-line.
# Usage
This library provides the same API as an Angel server.
```dart
// Choose one or the other, depending on platform
import 'package:angel_client/cli.dart';
import 'package:angel_client/browser.dart';
main() async {
Angel app = new Rest("http://localhost:3000", new BrowserClient());
}
```
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!).
```dart
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.
```dart
class Todo extends Model {
String text;
Todo({String this.text});
}
bar() async {
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`.
