Example with REST interaction about nuclear-js

[mindjuice]

You can find an example @jordangarcia gave of how Optimizely does async stuff in issue #5.

It's not exactly "built-in" to Nuclear, but it's pretty straight-forward.

Thanks for the link to the issue @mindjuice.

I do plan on releasing a standardize RestApi module that can easily be plugged into Nuclear.

Would this be something that both of you would be interested in? If there is a lot of interest I can prioritize it to come out shortly after 0.6.0 is released.

It's certainly something I would be interested in! I haven't played around
with the linked example (thanks for sharing!) but I think it looks like
it's in the right direction at least.

I may be interested in contributing if you think an outsider / Nuclear
newcomer could be useful to that project.

I'd be interested in it as well.

@rattrayalex I am very open to others contributing to this project. Shoot me an email at [email protected] and we can discuss more.

[jordangarcia]

For those interested I have started work on making an example app using a generic Rest API module.

https://github.com/optimizely/nuclear-js/tree/rest-api-example/examples/rest-api-example/src/modules/rest-api

Ignore everything outside of modules right now as some of it was copied over from another project.

Awesome! Sent.

Updated the README with a more in-depth description of the architecture and added a User module example.

Would love feedback.

Looks good, except: http://i.imgur.com/X4Fsf96.jpg :-)

I know it's only an example, but most people tend to stick closely to the examples. I discourage people from jQuery in general, but especially in React apps. It's a lot of overhead just for the ajax() method (~34K vs ~3.7K for Superagent).

Maybe Superagent instead?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/superagent

Even XmlHttpRequest or perhaps a promisified version:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/xhr-promise

There are some Superagent promise wrappers too:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/superagent-promise
https://www.npmjs.com/package/superagent-bluebird-promise

[jordangarcia]

@mindjuice that's a good point. I am used to using jQuery at work, I understand it's not ideal for most React apps. I will update the examples using a more lightweight ajax library..

[jtremback]

Can I suggest you use the fetch API? It's about as clean as any alternatives and is a browser API.

Hi @jordangarcia, first of all, congrats for your job with nuclear-js. I've just started use nuclear-js for an volunteer project. I'm interested in rest api feature. Do you have plan to create the V2 of rest-api example?

[jordangarcia]

@mclouvem it's not a huge priority now.

If you'd like to implement i'd happily accept PRs :)
