dojox.rpc.Rest provides a HTTP REST service with full range REST verbs include GET, PUT, POST and DELETE.

Usage

A normal GET query is done by using the service directly:

  var restService = dojox.rpc.Rest("Project");
  restService("4");

The modifying methods can be called as sub-methods of the rest service method like:

  services.myRestService.put("parameters","data to put in resource");
  services.myRestService.post("parameters","data to post to the resource");
  services.myRestService['delete']("parameters");

You can also use the SMD service to generate a REST service:

  var services = dojox.rpc.Service({services: {myRestService: {transport: "REST",...
  services.myRestService("parameters");

Note: dojox.rpc.Rest doesn't require dojox.rpc.Service, and if you want it you must require it yourself, and you must load it prior to dojox.rpc.Rest.

Examples

GET

This will do a HTTP GET for the URL "/Project/4":

  var restService = dojox.rpc.Rest("Project");
  restService("4");

PUT

This will do a HTTP PUT to the URL "/Project/4" with the content of "new content":

  var restService = dojox.rpc.Rest("Project");
  restService.put("4","new content");

POST

This will do a HTTP POST to the URL "/Project/4" with the content of "new content":

  var restService = dojox.rpc.Rest("Project");
  restService.post("4","new content");

DELETE

This will do a HTTP DELETE to the URL "/Project" with the content of "{item: "4"}":

  var restService = dojox.rpc.Rest("Project");
  restService['delete']({item: "4"});

Using the SMD service

You can also use the SMD service to generate a REST service:

  var services = dojox.rpc.Service({services: {myRestService: {transport: "REST",...
  services.myRestService("parameters");
