出す　ー　dasu

The same xhr API for both client and server

Simple to use:

var dasu = require('dasu')
var req = dasu.req

// same params as Node's require('http').request
var params = {
  method: 'GET',
  protocol: 'http',
  hostname: 'uinames.com',
  port: 80,
  path: '/api/',
}

req(params, function (err, res, data) {
  console.log(res.statusCode)
  console.log(res.headers)
  var json = JSON.parse(data)
  console.log(json)
  // eg: {"name":"Milica","surname":"Maslo","gender":"female","region":"Slovakia"}
})


// turn auto-follow redirects off
dasu.follow = false

// force mode 'node', 'browser', 'auto'
// (useful with Electron etc)
dasu.mode = 'auto' // uses window.XMLHttpRequest if available

About

Using XMLHttpRequest or Node's http libraries under the hood, dasu aims to streamline your basic xhr for both contexts. It provides the familiar structure to Node's http library (http://devdocs.io/node/http#http_http_request_options_callback)

Why

Test your client side request/fetch/xhr logic on the server side with the same api you're using on the client.
