Package description

What is @ethersproject/web?

@ethersproject/web is a part of the ethers.js library, which is a complete and compact library for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain and its ecosystem. This package specifically provides utilities for interacting with web resources, such as fetching data from URLs and handling HTTP requests.

What are @ethersproject/web's main functionalities?

Fetching Data from URLs

This feature allows you to fetch JSON data from a given URL. The `fetchJson` function is used to make an HTTP GET request to the specified URL and parse the response as JSON.

const { fetchJson } = require('@ethersproject/web');

async function fetchData(url) {
  try {
    const data = await fetchJson(url);
    console.log(data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
  }
}

fetchData('https://api.example.com/data');

Handling HTTP Requests

This feature allows you to handle HTTP requests, including POST requests. The `fetchJson` function can be used to send data to a specified URL by setting the appropriate HTTP method and request body.

const { fetchJson } = require('@ethersproject/web');

async function postData(url, data) {
  try {
    const response = await fetchJson(url, { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(data) });
    console.log(response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error posting data:', error);
  }
}

postData('https://api.example.com/data', { key: 'value' });
