# Generating Javascript functions to query an API
We will now see how *servant* lets you turn an API type into javascript
functions that you can call to query a webservice. The derived code assumes you
use *jQuery* but you could very easily adapt the code to generate ajax requests
based on vanilla javascript or another library than *jQuery*.

Now, given an optional search string `q`, we want to perform a case insensitive search in that list of books. We're obviously not going to try and implement the best possible algorithm, this is out of scope for this tutorial. The following simple linear scan will do, given how small our list is.

Why two different API types, proxies and servers though? Simply because we don't want to generate javascript functions for the `Raw` part of our API type, so we need a `Proxy` for our API type `API'` without its `Raw` endpoint.

Very similarly to how one can derive haskell functions, we can derive the javascript with just a simple function call to `jsForAPI` from `Servant.JQuery`.

Right before starting up our server, we will need to write this `String` to a file, say `api.js`, along with a copy of the *jQuery* library, as provided by the [js-jquery](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/js-jquery) package.
We created a directory `static` that contains two static files: `index.html`,
which is the entrypoint to our little web application; and `ui.js`, which
contains some hand-written javascript. This javascript code assumes the two
generated functions `getPoint` and `getBooks` in scope. Therefore we need to
write the generated javascript into a file:
``` haskell
writeJSFiles :: IO ()
writeJSFiles = do
T.writeFile "getting-started/gs9/api.js" apiJS
T.writeFile "static/api.js" apiJS
jq <- T.readFile =<< Language.Javascript.JQuery.file
T.writeFile "getting-started/gs9/jq.js" jq
T.writeFile "static/jq.js" jq
```
And we're good to go. Start the server with `dist/build/tutorial/tutorial 9` and go to `http://localhost:8081/`. Start typing in the name of one of the authors in our database or part of a book title, and check out how long it takes to approximate &pi; using the method mentioned above.
(We're also writing the jquery library into a file, as it's also used by
`ui.js`.) `static/api.js` will be included in `index.html` and the two
generated functions will therefore be available in `ui.js`.
And we're good to go. You can start the `main` function of this file and go to
`http://localhost:8000/`. Start typing in the name of one of the authors in our
database or part of a book title, and check out how long it takes to
approximate pi using the method mentioned above.
