Direct usage	Jin-Frame
axios svg	jin-frame svg

Install

npm install jin-frame --save

yarn add jin-frame --save

pnpm add jin-frame --save

This is simple example of pokeapi.co.

import { Get, Param, Query, JinFrame } from 'jin-frame';
import { randomUUID } from 'node:crypto';

@Get({ 
  host: 'https://pokeapi.co',
  path: '/api/v2/pokemon/:name',
})
export class PokemonFrame extends JinFrame {
  @Param()
  declare public readonly name: string;

  @Query()
  declare public readonly tid: string;
}

(async () => {
  const frame = PokemonFrame.of({ 
    name: 'pikachu', 
    tid: randomUUID(),
  });
  const reply = await frame.execute();
  
  // Show Pikachu Data
  console.log(reply.data);
})();

Retry, Timeout

Retry and Timeout can be easily applied without installing additional packages.

import { Param, Query, Retry, Timeout, JinFrame } from 'jin-frame';

@Timeout(2000) // Timeout after 2000ms
@Retry({ max: 5, interval: 1000 }) // Retry up to 5 times with 1000ms interval
@Get({ 
  host: 'https://pokeapi.co',
  path: '/api/v2/pokemon/:name',
})
export class PokemonFrame extends JinFrame {
  @Param()
  declare public readonly name: string;

  @Query()
  declare public readonly tid: string;
}

Authorization

import { Get, Param, Query } from 'jin-frame';

@Get({ 
  host: 'https://pokeapi.co'
  path: '/api/v2/pokemon/:name'
  authorization: process.env.YOUR_KEY_HERE
})
export class PokemonFrame extends JinFrame {
  @Param()
  declare public readonly name: string;

  @Query()
  declare public readonly tid: string;
}
