Smart Wired Ajax Models Interface for AngularJS is my thin and light toolset to make Ajax requests from a client-side front-end AngularJS app running in the browser to communicate with the server-side back-end.
I have used angular-resource ($resource), and then I have tried
Restangular and
NgActiveResource,
both amazing projects which may be the best fit for many people.
For me, they offered tons of features I didn't need, while the simple and straight things I needed were not available on them. For example, returning a dictionary instead of an array from the server - instead of dealing with workarounds and having to deal with arrays, I just wanted to play nicely with my dictionaries.
So, I've started to build my humble solution for my basic needs...
Install with bower:
bower install swamiAdd a <script> to your index.html:
<script src="/bower_components/swami/dist/swami.js"></script>And add Swami as a dependency for your app:
angular.module('myApp', ['Swami']);Documentation is available in the docs folder.
