About

Template literals are very useful. A more advanced form of template literals are tagged templates. Karin works in all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge, Safari, and Opera). Modern browsers and JavaScript engines support tag templates. It is also compatible with Node.js. The package uses the Fetch API, make sure you have a polyfill to support older browsers. Recommend to use github/fetch

e.g.

import React from "react";
import { get } from "karin";

export default class Index extends React.Component {
  static async getInitialProps() {
    const { data, response } = await get`https://api.github.com/repos/zeit/next.js`;
    return { stars: data.stargazers_count };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p> {this.props.stars} ⭐️</p>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Note that the data to be sent is the last item.

import { post } from "karin";

const user = {

};

post`http://localhost:3000/register ${user}`
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(err => console.log(err));

Add Header in HTTP Request

Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
XXX: xxx

${{
  title: 'Test Message',
  body: 'This is a test of the messaging system.'
