Step 1 - Get an instance of RestAppInvokerFactory

js
import restAppInvokerFactory from '@sitevision/api/server/RestAppInvokerFactory';
For Script module - use require:
js
const restAppInvokerFactory = require('RestAppInvokerFactory');
Step 2 - Make use of tRestAppInvokerFactory
js
// The RESTApp can be found by identifier, node or as in this case the path
const restApp = restAppInvokerFactory.fromPath('/rest-api/MyRestApp');
// The route is called (get, post, put or delete) and can be called with or without input data
const response = restApp.get('/routeName');
// response is a script object representing the response (properties: headers, statusCode, statusMessage, body)
if (response.statusCode !== 200) {
// Handle error and return
}
// The body of the response contains the actual data
const body = response.body;
