library2.0.1jsnpmunverified

Angular REST http request adapter wrapping angular's native $http service to simplify REST API communication. Current version 2.0.1 provides TypeScript definitions, supports Angular 1.x, and offers a provider-based configuration for base URL and default headers. Its key differentiator is seamless integration with Angular 1's dependency injection, making it a lightweight alternative to full-fledged REST clients. The package is in maintenance mode with infrequent updates.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

angular-rest-adapter (module side-effect import)
✓ import 'angular-rest-adapter';
✗ import { something } from 'angular-rest-adapter';
Module import registers 'ngRestAdapter' module. Use import 'angular-rest-adapter' for side effects.
NgRestAdapterServiceProvider
✓ import { NgRestAdapterServiceProvider } from 'angular-rest-adapter';
✗ import { NgRestAdapterProvider } from 'angular-rest-adapter';
Correct symbol includes 'Service' in the name.
ngRestAdapter (injection token)
✓ inject string 'ngRestAdapter' (no import needed for injection)
✗ import { ngRestAdapter } from 'angular-rest-adapter';
The service is injected by string name in Angular 1, not imported as a module symbol.

Demonstrates importing the module, configuring the provider with a base URL, and using the ngRestAdapter service to make a GET request.

import angular from 'angular'; import 'angular-rest-adapter'; angular.module('app', ['ngRestAdapter']) .config(['ngRestAdapterProvider', function(ngRestAdapterProvider) { ngRestAdapterProvider.configure({ baseUrl: process.env.API_BASE_URL ?? 'http://localhost:3000/api' }); }]) .run(['ngRestAdapter', function(ngRestAdapter) { ngRestAdapter.get('/items').then(response => { console.log(response.data); }); }]);
Debug
Known issues
breakingVersion 2.0.0 changed the injection name from 'restAdapter' to 'ngRestAdapter'
fix
Update dependency injection references to use 'ngRestAdapter' instead of 'restAdapter'.
affects: >=2.0.0
deprecatedBower installation is deprecated and no longer maintained
fix
Use npm to install the package.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaConfiguring baseUrl with trailing slash may cause double slashes in request URLs
fix
Ensure baseUrl does not end with a trailing slash.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaService factory does not provide error interceptors; all errors handled via $http error callback
fix
Implement error handling in the promise chain from ngRestAdapter calls.
affects: >=1.0.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module ngRestAdapter
Missing import of 'angular-rest-adapter' before defining the app module.
fix
Add import 'angular-rest-adapter'; at the top of your entry file.
TypeError: Cannot read property 'configure' of undefined
Provider not injected correctly; config function expects array-annotated injection.
fix
Use array annotation: ['ngRestAdapterProvider', function(provider) { ... }]
ReferenceError: ngRestAdapter is not defined
Using 'ngRestAdapter' as an import symbol instead of injecting it as a string.
fix
Inject the service via Angular's DI, e.g., run(['ngRestAdapter', function(adapter) { ... }])
