Reusable REST Headers

A reusable rest header object which can be used in your JavaScript code to create headers using builder pattern.

To generate the following output,

{
  'Cache-Control': 'no-store no-cache',
  'api-version': 1,
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  Accept: 'application/json',
  Authorization: 'Bearer 0b195ce6-09a1-4dc7-a4eb-256535065846'
}

Use the below code:

new RESTHeader(1).addBearerAuth(uuidv4()).build();

Usage

Install package to your project using the following command:

npm i reusable-rest-header

Once installed you can import the RESTHeader

const RESTHeader = require('reusable-rest-header/RESTHeader');

Use this defined const as:
