axios-curlirize

Description

This module is an axios third-party module to log any axios request as a curl command in the console. It was originally posted as a suggestion on the axios repository, but since we believed it wasn't in the scope of axios to release such feature, we decided to make it as an independent module.

The module makes use of axios and axios-middleware.

How it works

Basically, we use the axios-middleware to log the curl commands on every request. As simple as that.

How to use it

axios-curlirize is super easy to use. First you'll have to install it.

npm i --save axios-curlirize

Then all you have to do is import and instanciate curlirize in your app. Here's a sample:

    import axios from 'axios';
    import express from 'express';
    import curlirize from 'axios-curlirize';

    const app = express();

    // initializing axios-curlirize with your axios instance
    curlirize(axios);

    // creating dummy route
    app.post('/', (req, res) => {
        res.send({hello: 'world!'})
    });

    // starting server
    app.listen(7500, () => {
        console.log('Dummy server started in ')
        /*
             The output of this in the console will be :
             curl -X POST  -H "Accept:application/json, text/plain" -H "Content-Type:application/json;charset=utf-8" --data "{\"dummy\":\"data\"}" http://localhost:7500/
        */
        axios.post('http://localhost:7500/', {dummy: 'data'})
            .then((res) => {
                console.log('success');
            })
            .catch((err) => {
                console.log(err);
            });
    });
