I came to write this package as I was annoyed by code duplication when writing bespoke requests. Such as: unwrapping data, specifying the endpoint, transforming keys' casing etc. I looked around and saw there was no package that solved my issues and this was a gap in the ecosystem. Evidently I did not look good enough as since then I have found some alternatives: https://github.com/milroyfraser/sarala https://github.com/robsontenorio/vue-api-query https://github.com/DavidDuwaer/Coloquent However I still find that my package is more feature packed and has more elegant solutions (e.g.: relationship handling). I think what's great about this package is that typescript, clean and thorough documentation and self documenting code makes it really easy and fast to talk to your apis no matter the complexity of the data. I hope that this package will serve you just as well as it did in my own personal web applications.
