Coax/Hoax and PhoneGap

[stefan...@gmail.com]

Hi everybody,

I have a general problem with coax/hoax to define URI's with query parameters like "http://myurl.com/test?query=param".

I found coax and hoax in the Couchbase-Light example PhoneGap APP "TodoLite-PhoneGap".

I definitely need query params, because I want to DELETE couchbase documents or even updating them,

Therefore the revision is required as query parameter (to name just one scenario).

I tested this:

var server = hoax("http://myserver.com/");

var options = {

   uri: 'test',

   qs: {

      mykey: 'myvalue'

   }

};

var path = server(options);

// should result in --> http://myserver.com/test/123?mykey=myvalue

path.get("123", function(err, json){

    console.log("put json", json);

});

The request is sent, but the query parameter is just ignored.

Even the official hoax example does not fire query parameters: https://github.com/jchris/hoax

Whats wrong? Any suggestions?

Would be fantastic if Chris Anderson reads this post ;-)

Cheers and thanks,

Stefan

What about:

var path = server(options, {mykey: "myvalue"});

Does that work?

You are almost there. Coax is mostly a URL-path currying API with a little bit of knowledge about changes feed etc. So for your use case you want to do something like this:

var server = coax("http://server.com")

// just for example

var database = server("my-database")

database.get(function(error, data){

   // did a get to http://server.com/my-database

})

database.get("foobar", function(error, data){

   // did a get to http://server.com/my-database/foobar

})

// note the array

database.get(["foobar", "baz"], function(error, data){

   // did a get to http://server.com/my-database/foobar/baz

})

// still an array, with query options

database.get(["foobar", "baz", {"x" : "y"}], function(error, data){

   // did a get to http://server.com/my-database/foobar/baz?x=y

})

It looks like the uri and qs parameters you are using are the API to mikeal's request library, which hoax uses, but doesn't share the same API.

Hope that helps!

Brilliant answer, Chris - thanks a lot!

I think it would be really helpful if you put this short example on the github readme.md.

Cheers,

Stefan
