Driver for HTTP requests through JSONP

Cycle JSONP

A Driver for making HTTP requests through the JSONP hack, based on the jsonp package. This package is small, hacky (as JSONP is too), and untested. Whenever possible, use proper server and client CORS solution with the HTTP Driver.

npm install @cycle/jsonp

Usage

function main(responses) {
  // This API endpoint returns a JSON response
  const HELLO_URL = 'http://localhost:8080/hello';
  let request$ = Rx.Observable.just(HELLO_URL);
  let vtree$ = responses.JSONP
    .filter(res$ => res$.request === HELLO_URL)
    .mergeAll()
    .startWith({text: 'Loading...'})
    .map(json =>
      h('div.container', [
        h('h1', json.text)
      ])
    );

  return {
    DOM: vtree$,
    JSONP: request$
  };
}

Cycle.run(main, {
  DOM: makeDOMDriver('.js-container'),
  JSONP: makeJSONPDriver()
})

API

makeJSONPDriver()

JSONP Driver factory.

This is a function which, when called, returns a JSONP Driver for Cycle.js apps. The driver is also a function, and it takes a stream of requests (URL strings) as input, and generates a metastream of responses.

Requests. The stream of requests should emit strings as the URL of the remote resource over HTTP.

Responses. A metastream is a stream of streams. The response metastream emits streams of responses. These streams of responses have a request field attached to them (to the stream object itself) indicating which request (from the driver input) generated this response stream. The response streams themselves emit the response object received through the npm jsonp package.

Returns:

(Function) the JSONP Driver function
