var Movies = retain();

Movies.use(retainAjax, {
      rest: "http://localhost:3000/movies"
    })

npm install retain-http

Client version

If you want you use retain-http in the browser, there are 2 options:

  • If your bundler have implemented the package.son browser spec, just require the file using the require signature:

    require("retain-http");
  • Otherwise, require the lib/client.js file using the CJS signature

    You can map the retain-http name to the lib/client.js file using your bundler mapping option, so you can require it using the default signature require('retain-http')

Retain use Promises internally to transfer data between the plugins.

To create a plugin, it is necessary to implement each of the following Retain methods.

  • new

  • remove

Each of theses methods must return a promise.
