Documentation

Getting Started

const axios = require("axios");
const {
  createLightMyRequestAdapter,
} = require("axios-light-my-request-adapter");

function dispatch(req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, { "Content-Type": "application/json" });
  res.end(JSON.stringify({ data: "Hello World!" }));
}

const instance = axios.create({
  baseURL: "http://localhost/",
  adapter: createLightMyRequestAdapter(dispatch),
});

(async function () {
  const res = await instance.get("/");
  console.log(res);
})();

Or with Fastify:

const axios = require("axios");
const fastify = require("fastify");
const {
  createLightMyRequestAdapterFromFastify,
} = require("axios-light-my-request-adapter");

const app = fastify();
app.get("/", async () => {
  return { data: "Hello World!" };
});

const instance = axios.create({
  baseURL: "http://localhost/",
  adapter: createLightMyRequestAdapterFromFastify(app),
});

(async function () {
  const res = await instance.get("/");
  console.log(res);
})();

Caveats

• maxRedirects is not supported https://github.com/fastify/light-my-request/issues/209, and will throw.
• socketPath and proxy are not supported and will throw.
• httpAgent & httpsAgent are ignored.
