What is get-it?

get-it is a JavaScript HTTP client for making requests to APIs. It is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing developers to customize its behavior through plugins.

What are get-it's main functionalities?

Basic GET Request

This feature allows you to make a basic GET request to a specified URL. The response is handled using Promises.

const getIt = require('get-it');
const request = getIt();

request({ url: 'https://api.example.com/data' })
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

Using Plugins

get-it supports middleware plugins to extend its functionality. In this example, the jsonResponse plugin is used to automatically parse JSON responses.

const getIt = require('get-it');
const jsonResponse = require('get-it/lib/middleware/jsonResponse');
const request = getIt([jsonResponse()]);

request({ url: 'https://api.example.com/data' })
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

Custom Headers

You can add custom headers to your requests. This is useful for adding authentication tokens or other custom headers required by the API.

const getIt = require('get-it');
const request = getIt();

request({
  url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer token' }
})
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));
