BaseProvider

BaseProvider to be subclassed to implement specific providers. Do not initialize a registry directly with this!

Prefix all internal method and properties with underscore (e.g. this._cache)!

Methods that can be overridden:

  • Do not override the constructor! Use _prepare or _setup instead.
  • _prepare: will be called before the registry is initialized (i.e. it's /status endpoint is queries if necessasry)
  • _setup: will be called after registry is initialized (i.e. it's /status endpoint is queries if necessasry), should be used to set properties on this.has and custom preparations
  • isAuthorizedFor: override if you want to customize
  • supportsScheme: override if you want to customize
  • getRegistries
  • getSchemes
  • getTypes
  • suggest
  • getConcordances
  • getOccurrences
  • getTop
  • getConcepts
  • getNarrower
  • getAncestors
  • search
  • getMapping
  • getMappings
  • postMapping
  • postMappings
  • putMapping
  • patchMapping
  • deleteMapping
  • deleteMappings
  • getAnnotations
  • postAnnotation
  • putAnnotation
  • patchAnnotation
  • deleteAnnotation

Internal (starting with underscore) and external properties that can be used:

  • this.cdk: a reference to the current CDK instance (can be use to request other registries or initialize a new registry)
  • this.has: an object of functionality of the registry (needs to be set by subclasses)
  • this.languages: an array of language tags provided by the user in order of priority
  • this._jskos: the raw JSKOS object used to initialize this registry
  • this._path: if available, the path of the current browser window
  • this._defaultLanguages: an array of default language tags
  • this._auth: authentication key and token
  • this._api: object of API endpoints for the registry
  • this._config: configuration of the registry as provided by the /status endpoint if available

All of the request methods take ONE parameter which is a config object. Actual parameters should be properties on this object. The config object should be destructured to remove the properties your method needs, and the remaining config object should be given to the axios request. Example:

 getConcept({ concept, ...config }) {
   return this.axios({
     ...config,
     method: "get",
     params: {
       uri: concept.uri,
     },
   })
 }

Always use this.axios like in the example for http requests!
