#Methods - all http methods support a url and options object (url, { body : {}, headers : {}, etc... }) so you can include body/headers/etc ####Http Methods get post delete put patch
clearCache()

let client = HyperRequest({
baseUrl : 'http://api.fixer.io/thisdoesnotexist',
customLogger : function(verb, endpoint, time){},
rawResponseCaller : function(a, b){},
debug : true,
timeout : 4000,
respondWithProperty : 'rates',
retryOnFailure : {
fail : (info) => {// a 'global' callback when a failure occurs (good for logging or retry failures)
console.log('error ' , info);
},
min : 400, //min http response code
max : 600, //max http response code
retries : 2, //number of retries
backOff : 100//backoff in ms * by retry count
}
});
let child = client.child({ url = '', headers = {}, audit})
child.get('/thing')
where audit is called on all requests and feeds back rawResponse
This will retry 1 time beyond the initial try with a 100 ms backoff, on any errors between (inclusive) of 400 and 600 http response codes because this endpoint is a 404 it will retry twice, and fail hitting both the failure callback/reject/emit error, and will hit the global fail callback
In this example we have a client which re-auths with its IAM system if it gets a 401-403 error
var dataSystem = new Request({
baseUrl : 'http://currency.svc.mylab.local',
respondWithProperty : 'data',
retryOnFailure : {
min : 401, //min http response code
max : 403, //max http response code
retries : 5, //number of retries
backOff : 100, //backoff in ms * by retry count
retryExtension : (failedResponse) => {
return iamSystem.post('sessions/login', { body : { username : 'user', password :'pass' } }).then((resp) => {
return {
persist : true,
extensions : [
{
accessor :'headers.Authentication',
value : resp.session
}
]
};
});
}
}
});
When a retry happens the retryExtension function is called first any 'extension' object it returns gets executed on the request options before the next request is executed, if persist is true, it persists on later calls
