I recently published @bishal-shrestha/rest-client, a minimal and efficient REST client for JavaScript and TypeScript developers. It is designed to simplify API communication while remaining fully customizable and environment-agnostic.
Key Features
- Full TypeScript support with rich typings
- Works in both Node.js and browser environments
- Supports request and response interceptors
- Built-in error handling and retry logic
- ESM, UMD and CommonJS compatible
- Lightweight and dependency-free
Installation
npm install @bishal-shrestha/rest-client
Basic Usage
import RestClient from '@bishal-shrestha/rest-client';
const api = new RestClient('https://api.example.com');
const user = await api.getAsync('users/1');
console.log(user);
You can also set headers, intercept requests or responses, and customize error handling and retries.
Documentation
Comprehensive documentation is available at
https://rest-client-docs.netlify.app
The documentation site is built with Docusaurus and deployed via Netlify. Contributions to documentation and examples are welcome.
