Consuming restoas restful webservice using javascript (framework)

Is it possible to use a hateful webservice type of hate through (a) javascript (a framework such as angularjs)? I believe that the client needs to implement quite a bit of logic to achieve the actual endpoint. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes it is possible. Javascript is another user agent.

Yes, there is work. No, I do not know any frameworks for this. I wrote a toolkit for supporting applications for working with hypermedia on the desktop, and I do not consider it a significant amount of work to create an infrastructure for supporting applications based on hypermedia.

The task is not so much in equipment, but in the fact that this is a completely different approach to creating applications. This takes some time.

There is some work in the corresponding note in the browser / JS space that will simplify the work with applications that support hypermedia on the client. See NavigatingController . Currently, the JS user agent can only manage javascript links. Using the NavigatingController, it is also possible to intercept HTML links, which makes JS application applications smoother in the browser.

At least part of the problem here is that your API should return a media type that supports structured binding (which usually uses the regular REST API by default, application/json and application/xml ). To get this support, check out HAL or JSONAPI projects.

Using a structured definition of links makes it much easier to consume - the HAL has several libraries for working with it, including the javascript library :

For an interesting client, check out the HAL Talk demo .
