This gist contains a first draft of a client library for easy-bag-store. The design follows the REST API that easy-bag-store exposes itself.

Every call in this client library results in an execute() call that does the actual calling and which returns the Response object containing a reponse code and either a corresponding error message or the resulting object itself.

The following calls can be made with this library:

• Vault.status() // returns String
• Vault.listBags(<[]|all|inactive>) // returns Seq[UUID]
• Vault.bag(<uuid>).list() // returns Seq[Path]

// Use Gists to store code you would like to remember later on
console.log(window); // log the "window" object to the console

Problems with the legacy libraries of EASY

• Anything was placed in libraries without giving it much thought
• Few developers knew what was in the library so little was reused
• A serious library needs thorough tests, a stable API, support multiple use cases and communicated to developers. Hence it quickly takes more time than it saves.

Problems with current copy-paste habits

• A lot lot of variants of similar code snippets populate the code base
• Developers may copy any version they happen to find, not the latest and greatest
