Paris is a data management library for webapps, using TypeScript and RxJS to implement Domain-Driven Design.
Paris, fashion capital of the world, where all the models want to be.
Package size: ~15.8kb (gzipped)
-
Paris is a TypeScript library and also requires RxJs and lodash, so you'll need both those packages, if you don't already use them:
npm install --save lodash-es rxjs typescript -
Install the Paris NPM package:
npm install --save @microsoft/paris
- Data API abstraction and standardization - define and use your data easily, in a consistent way.
- Strong-typed - data models are defined as classes with TypeScript
- Full-tree modeling - Paris handles the creation of models and sub-models, essentially creating a model tree.
- Implements Domain-Driven Design - true and tested development methodology that improves collaboration.
- Reactive - all async code is done with RxJS Observables.
- Caching - easily cache data (including time-based caching).
First, define an Entity:
// todo-item.entity.ts
import { Entity, EntityModelBase, EntityField } from "@microsoft/paris";
@Entity({
singularName: "Todo Item",
pluralName: "Todo Items",
endpoint: "todo/items"
})
export class TodoItem extends EntityModelBase{
@EntityField()
text: string;
@EntityField()
time: Date;
}The above defines an Entity, which can be used to query the todo/items server endpoint, like this:
import { Paris } from "@microsoft/paris";
const paris = new Paris();
paris.getItemById(TodoItem, 1).subscribe((todoItem:TodoItem) => {
console.log("Todo item with ID 1: ", todoItem);
});Check the Wiki for advanced uses and explanations.
