What is httpreq?

The httpreq npm package is a module that provides a simple interface for making HTTP requests in Node.js. It is designed to make HTTP calls straightforward by handling the complexities of Node's native http module.

What are httpreq's main functionalities?

GET requests

This feature allows you to perform HTTP GET requests to retrieve data from a specified URL.

httpreq.get('http://example.com', function (err, res){
  if (err) return console.error(err);
  console.log(res.body);
});

POST requests

This feature enables you to send HTTP POST requests with parameters to a specified URL, which can be used for submitting form data or interacting with REST APIs.

httpreq.post('http://example.com', {
  parameters: {
    key1: 'value1',
    key2: 'value2'
  }
}, function (err, res){
  if (err) return console.error(err);
  console.log(res.body);
});

Custom headers

This feature allows you to set custom headers for your HTTP requests, which can be necessary for APIs that require specific headers for authentication or content negotiation.

httpreq.get('http://example.com', {
  headers: {
    'User-Agent': 'My Custom User Agent'
  }
}, function (err, res){
  if (err) return console.error(err);
  console.log(res.headers);
});

File uploads

This feature is used to upload files to a server. It supports multipart form data, which is commonly used for file uploads in web forms.

httpreq.post('http://example.com/upload', {
  files: {
    file1: '/path/to/file1.txt',
    file2: '/path/to/file2.jpg'
  }
}, function (err, res){
  if (err) return console.error(err);
  console.log(res.body);
});
