Feedback

What does it do that is useful to you?
It makes it easy to retrieve a collection of entity resources from the Drupal JSON:API.

What could it do better?
It would be nice if the class provided additional methods, like getResource for a singular resource and getResources with support for pagination.

What do you use instead of it?
The Druxt Router module provides a Drupal JSON:API client which can be used directly, via the Vuex store actions, Nuxt plugin or with Component based lazy-loading.

What is important to you for Drupal JS client
- Simplify Entity/Bundle vs Resource Type and custom Resource naming complications.
- Pagination support.
- Better developer experience for complex queries: https://www.npmjs.com/package/drupal-jsonapi-params
- Ability to store data in State management system (Vuex, Redux, etc)
- Cache management
