@superhero/request

Request

Licence: MIT

A wrapper for the http and https modules request function. I put this together to be able to simplify my api requests..

Install

npm install @superhero/request

...or just set the dependency in your package.json file:

{
  "dependencies":
  {
    "@superhero/request": "*"
  }
}

Example

const
Request = require('@superhero/request'),
request = new Request();

request.post('example.com/foobar').then((result) => console.log(result.status, result.headers, result.data));
request.post({url:'https://example.com/foobar', data: {foo:'bar',baz:'qux'}}).then(console.log);
