WebApi Proxy Provider

Install via NuGet

Extend your ASP.NET Web API service by installing this package from NuGet:

Install-Package WebApiProxy

Note: This package requires the core libraries of ASP.NET Web API (version 5 or higher)

Usage

This extension provides a proxy endpoint in your service as /api/proxies that serves JavaScript and service metadata.

Given a Person API on the server:

public class PeopleController : ApiController
{
    public Person[] Get() {
    }

    public Person Get(int id) {
    }
}

allows you to use it like this in JavaScript on the client:

$.proxies.person.get()
  .done(function(people) {
    //do something with people
  });

$.proxies.person.get(2)
  .done(function(person) {
    //do something with person
  });

JavaScript proxy

Simply reference the proxy endpoint provided inside your HTML and you're good to go:

<script src="/api/proxies" type="text/javascript"></script>
