Documentation

api-config

This package simplifies data retrieval through a straightforward function call. By passing an object as a parameter to
these functions, you can effortlessly obtain JSON data as the return output.

Prerequisites

Here is an illustrative example outlining the necessary steps to enumerate the essential components required for using
the software, along with clear instructions on how to install each of them.

npm install npm@latest -g

Installing

Using npm :-

npm i api-config

Using yarn :-

yarn add api-config

API

N.B : bodyData object is mandatory for Post Api call. In other functions it is not mandatory

Import

import {ApiConfig} from "api-config";   

const apiConfig = new ApiConfig();

Instance Initialization

Initialize an instance of the apiConfig class with predefined baseURL and headers for ease of use.

Example

apiConfig.baseURL = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos";

apiConfig.headers = {
    Authorization: localStorage.getItem("token")
};

By utilizing this example, you eliminate the need to repeatedly specify the baseURL.

Usage

const data = await apiConfig.get("/todos");

Now, with the instance already configured, you can easily make requests without redefining the base URL each time.

getLocalStorageData

Usage:-

Facilitating the retrieval of data from local storage is made simpler. There's no need to manually parse a stringified JSON object – just pass the key as a parameter to the function.

Examples

  • A normal string of data
 apiConfig.getLocalStorageValue("Key")
  • A stringified JSON data
 apiConfig.getLocalStorageValue("key")   

As demonstrated, there's no need to parse the JSON object manually. Simply assign a variable within this function, and you can effortlessly retrieve your data stored in local storage.


Generate Token

Usage:-

  • The generateToken function is designed to create a cipher text token by utilizing the provided data and a given secret
    key.

  • To use this function, two essential inputs are required: a payload and a secret key.

  • The term payload in this context refers to the string or object that is intended to be encrypted.

  • The secret is a key necessary for both encrypting and decrypting the payload, and it should be kept confidential.
    Avoid public disclosure of the secret key.

Parameters

const payload = {  
 email: "john@doe.com", 
 id: 123
};  
  
const secret = "This is my secret key";   

Input Example

apiConfig.generateToken(payload, secret);   

Output Example

U2FsdGVkX19QVOZV/OYp+rQA5jc6agkp9I+ZlKoVy8peLfPDyA24OxmC+uIDvjM1bzZLqWeA0qYnm38Z5Sb7Yw==


Decode Token

Usage:-

  • The decodeToken function is specifically designed to decrypt a cipher text token.

  • It achieves decryption by utilizing a secret key, which was used during the encryption of the payload.

  • To employ this function successfully, two components are necessary: a payload and a confidential secret key.

  • The term token in this context refers to the specific string that is intended for decryption.

  • The term secret denotes the crucial key that is required for both encrypting and decrypting the payload.

  • It is of utmost importance to keep the secret key private and refrain from any public disclosure.

Payload

const token = "U2FsdGVkX19QVOZV/OYp+rQA5jc6agkp9I+ZlKoVy8peLfPDyA24OxmC+uIDvjM1bzZLqWeA0qYnm38Z5Sb7Yw==";  
  
const secret = "This is my secret key";   

Input Example

apiConfig.decodeToken(token, secret);   

Output Example

{  
  email: "john@doe.com",  
  id:123  
}  

POST

Usage:-

  • Facilitating the execution of a POST API request is simplified using this functionality. Just pass an object in the function's parameter, and the process becomes straightforward.

    The function returns a promise, so you can utilize either the `then/catch` syntax or leverage `async/await` to handle its outcome.  
    
  • If there is a token dependency, you have the flexibility to either input your token directly or, if the token is
    stored in your local storage as a token, the function automatically handles this scenario.

  • If this is utilized for login purposes, the function automatically stores the token in the local storage if it is
    available in the result.

Example:-

let's assume my URL is -

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos

Instead of employing fetch or Axios, you can streamline your workflow by utilising the following function:

let data = await apiConfig.post({  
 url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos", 
 bodyData: { 
 "userId": 1, 
 "id": 1, 
 "title": "delectus aut autem", 
 "completed": false 
 }
})   

If your authToken is stored in another storage,

let data = await apiConfig.post({  
 url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos", 
 authToken: "YOUR_TOKEN", 
 bodyData: { 
  "userId": 1, 
  "id": 1, 
  "title": "delectus aut autem", 
  "completed": false 
 }
})   

You can view the response conveniently within the data variable.


GET

Usage:-

  • Executing a GET API request is simplified using this function. Pass an object as the parameter to initiate the process effortlessly.

    The function returns a promise, providing the flexibility to handle it using either the `then/catch` syntax or through `async/await`.  
    
  • In the case of a token dependency, you can either input your token directly or, if the token is available in your
    local storage, this function automatically handles the scenario.

Example

let's assume my url is -

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos

Instead of resorting to fetch or Axios, you can simplify your approach by utilising the following function:

let data = await apiConfig.get({  
 url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos"
})   

If your authToken is stored in another storage,

let data = await apiConfig.get({  
 url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos", 
 authToken: "YOUR_TOKEN"
})   

You can view the response conveniently within the data variable.


PUT

Usage:-
