## High level API
## Usage
This high-level interface handles session sign-in and a cache of
remote XO objects. It also automatically reconnect and retry method
calls when necessary.
> If the URL is not provided and the current environment is a web
> browser, the location of the current page will be used.
```javascript
// Connect to XO.
var xo = new xoLib.Xo('https://xo.company.tld');
const xo = new Xo({ url: 'https://xo.company.tld' })
// Let's start by opening the connection.
await xo.connect()
// Must sign in before being able to call any methods (all calls will
// be buffered until signed in).
xo.signIn({
await xo.signIn({
email: 'admin@admin.net',
password: 'admin',
}).then(function () {
console('signed as', xo.user);
});
password: 'admin'
})
console('signed as', xo.user)
```
The credentials can also be passed directly to the constructor:
```javascript
var xo = new xoLib.Xo({
const xo = Xo({
url: 'https://xo.company.tld',
credentials: {
email: 'admin@admin.net',
password: 'admin',
}
});
```
})
> If the URL is not provided and the current environment is a web
> browser, the location of the current page will be used.
xo.open()
### Method call
```javascript
xo.call('token.create').then(function (token) {
console.log('Token created', token);
});
```
### Status
The connection status is available through the status property which
is *disconnected*, *connecting* or *connected*.
```javascript
console.log('%s to xo-server', xo.status);
```
### Current user
Information about the user account used to sign in is available
through the `user` property.
```javascript
console.log('Current user is', xo.user);
```
> This property is null when the status is not connected.
### XO Objects
XO objects are cached locally in the `objects` collection.
```javascript
// Read-only dictionary of all objects.
var allObjects = xo.objects.all;
// Looks up a given object by its identifier.
var object = allObjects[id];
// Read-only dictionary of all indexes.
var indexes = xo.objects.indexes;
// Read-only dictionary of types.
var byTypes = indexes.type;
// Read-only view of all VMs.
var vms = byTypes.VM;
```
Available indexes are: `ref`, `type` and `UUID`.
## Low level

var api = new xoLib.Api('https://xo.company.tld');

### Disconnection
