getResource

The following method resolves any resource from a unique name string:

async function getResource(path: string[], api: Resource | Core) {

const relations = api.getAvailableRelations();

if (path.length === 1) {

const { id, creatable } = relations[path[0]];

const data = await api.resourceList(path[0]);

return { data, id };

}

const resource = await api.resource(path[0], path[1]);

if (path.length === 2) {

const { id, creatable } = relations[path[0]];

return { data: resource, id, creatable };

}

return getResource(path.slice(2), resource);

}

Example usage:

const dm = new DataManager('stage');

const dataManagers = await getResource(['dataManager'], dm);

const adminDatamanager = await getResource(['dataManager', '73538731-4ac3-4a1a-b3b5-e31d09e94d42'], dm);

const adminModels = await getResource(['dataManager', '73538731-4ac3-4a1a-b3b5-e31d09e94d42', 'model'], dm);

const testAssets = await getResource(

['dataManager', '73538731-4ac3-4a1a-b3b5-e31d09e94d42', 'assetGroup', 'test', 'dmAsset'],

dm

);

// with divided string

const testAssets = await getResource(

'dataManager|73538731-4ac3-4a1a-b3b5-e31d09e94d42|assetGroup|test|dmAsset'.split('|'),

dm

);

Idea:

• every even index of the path represents a relation
• every odd index of the path represents an identifier
• odd path lengths return resourceLists
• even path lengths return single resources
• using strings, we can create unique resource names
