An observable REST client for Javascript with a dramatically simple & fluent API.

if (typeof define !== 'function') { var define = require('amdefine')(module); }
define([ 
    'knockout',
    'underscore',
    'URIjs',
    'when',
    'zoetropic'
], function(ko, _, URI, when, z) {
    'use strict';

    var o = ko.observable,
        u = ko.utils.unwrapObservable,
        c = ko.computed,
        w = function(v) { return ko.isObservable(v) ? v : o(v); };

    // Link = { resolve: Collection -> Collection }
    //
    // The simplest sort of link is a URI, a pointer. However, even a
    // URI may be relative, hence takes a "source" location as an
    // implicit input. And much more complex links arise in
    // efficiently moving from a _set_ of fetched models to another
    // set of fetched models. Hence, a link is a function from a
    // Collection to another Collection.
    //
    var Link = function(implementation) {
        var self = _({}).extend(implementation);

        self.filtered = function(filters) { return FilterLink(filters, self); };

        return self;
    };

    return Link;
