# Import

```js
const dame = require("dame");
```



# Basic examples

**GET**
```js
let {response} = dame.get("https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/location/1");
```

**POST**
```js
let {response} = dame.post("https://your.api.com/login", {
username: "Username",
password: "****",
});
```



# Response object

```js
{
isError: false,
code: 200,
status: "OK",
response: {...},
error: null,
redirectCount: 3,
}
```

- **isError** `boolean`: True if code is >= 200 and < 300 (this is configurable).
- **code** `number`: Status code.
- **status** `string`: Status.
- **response** `any`: Response of the request.
- **error** `any`: If there was any error during the request it will be here.
- **redirectCount** `number`: How many redirects have been followed. Not present if there have been no redirects.


The response can be destructured like this:

```js
let {isError, code, status, response} = dame.get("https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/location/1");
```



# Methods

## get

```js
const {response} = dame.get(url, config);
```

- **url** `string`: Full URL or path.
- If you set a `baseUrl`, this `url` will be concatenated to it: `baseUrl + url`.
- If `url` starts with `"http://"` or `"https://"` the `baseUrl` from config will be ignored and url will be treated like a full url.
- **config** `object`: See [Config](#config).



## post, put, delete, patch

```js
const {response} = dame.post(url, body, config);
```

- **url** `string`:See [get](#get).
- **body** `object`: The request body.
- **config** `object`: See [Config](#config).



# Config

- **baseUrl** `string`: Base URL that will be concatenated with the `url` of the requests.
- **headers** `object`: Headers that will be attached to the request.
- **timeout** `number`: Number of miliseconds that must pass before timeout the request.
- **checkIsError** `function`: Function that will receive the status code (`number`) and must return `boolean`. Default `isError = !(code >= 200 && < 300)`.
- Any option that fits on [request](https://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_https_request_url_options_callback) or [fetch](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope/fetch).
- **maxRedirects** `number`: Max redirects to follow. Default 20. Use 0 to disable redirects.
- **responseType** `"arraybuffer" | "stream" | "json" | "text"`: **Browser only**. Default `"json"`. Type of the data that the server will respond with.



# Configuring base instance

Syntax:

```js
dame. = ;
```

- **configKey**: any key from [Config](#config).
- **value**: any value that fits on the config key.

Examples:
```js
dame.baseUrl = "http://localhost:3010";
dame.headers.Authorization = `Bearer abcd.1234`;
dame.timeout = 5000;
```

Then you'll be able to:

```js
dame.get("/protectedRoute");
// url will be → http://localhost:3010/protectedRoute
// headers will be → {Authorization: "Bearer abcd.1234"}
```



# Creating an instance

```js
const dameInstance = dame.new(config, instanceName?);
```

- **config** `object`: See [Config](#config).
- **instanceName** `string`: (optional) If filled, this instance will be saved on `dame.instances.`.

---

Removing a saved instance:
```js
delete dame.instances.
```


## Examples

Set base URL
```js
const yourApi = dame.new({
"baseUrl": "http://localhost:3000",
});
```

Set headers
```js
const yourApi = dame.new({
"headers": {
Authorization: "Bearer abc.123"
}
});
```


## Editing an instance

```js
yourApi.headers.Authorization: "Bearer new.token";
```



# Special statuses

Timeout
```js
{
isError: true,
code: 0,
status: 'Timed out',
response: null
}
```

No response
```js
{
isError: true,
code: -1,
status: "No response from server",
response: null
}
```

Offline
```js
{
isError: true,
code: -2,
status: "No internet connection",
response: null
}
```
