Class RequestManager public

import RequestManager from '@ember-data/request';

A RequestManager provides a request/response flow in which configured handlers are successively given the opportunity to handle, modify, or pass-along a request.

interface RequestManager {
  request<T>(req: RequestInfo): Future<T>;
}

For example:

import RequestManager from '@ember-data/request';
import Fetch from '@ember-data/request/fetch';
import Auth from 'ember-simple-auth/ember-data-handler';
import Config from './config';

const { apiUrl } = Config;

// ... create manager
const manager = new RequestManager();
manager.use([Auth, Fetch]);

// ... execute a request
const response = await manager.request({
  url: `${apiUrl}/users`
});

Futures

The return value of manager.request is a Future, which allows access to limited information about the request while it is still pending and fulfills with the final state when the request completes.

A Future is cancellable via abort.

Handlers may optionally expose a ReadableStream to the Future for streaming data; however, when doing so the future should not resolve until the response stream is fully read.

interface Future<T> extends Promise<StructuredDocument<T>> {
  abort(): void;

  async getStream(): ReadableStream | null;
}

StructuredDocuments

A Future resolves with a StructuredDataDocument or rejects with a StructuredErrorDocument.

interface StructuredDataDocument<T> {
  request: ImmutableRequestInfo;
  response: ImmutableResponseInfo;
  content: T;
}
interface StructuredErrorDocument extends Error {
  request: ImmutableRequestInfo;
  response: ImmutableResponseInfo;
  error: string | object;
}
type StructuredDocument<T> = StructuredDataDocument<T> | StructuredErrorDocument;
