What is hyperquest?

The hyperquest npm package is a streaming HTTP client for Node.js. It is designed to be a lightweight and efficient way to make HTTP requests, with a focus on streaming data directly to and from the network.

What are hyperquest's main functionalities?

Making a GET request

This feature allows you to make a simple GET request to a URL and pipe the response directly to a file. In this example, the response from 'http://www.google.com' is written to 'google.html'.

const hyperquest = require('hyperquest');
const fs = require('fs');

hyperquest('http://www.google.com').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('google.html'));

Making a POST request

This feature allows you to make a POST request and stream data from a file to the server. In this example, the contents of 'file.txt' are sent to 'http://example.com/upload' and the server's response is printed to the console.

const hyperquest = require('hyperquest');
const fs = require('fs');

const req = hyperquest.post('http://example.com/upload');
fs.createReadStream('file.txt').pipe(req);
req.pipe(process.stdout);

Handling errors

This feature demonstrates how to handle errors when making a request. In this example, an error event listener is added to handle any errors that occur during the request to 'http://invalid.url'.

const hyperquest = require('hyperquest');

const req = hyperquest('http://invalid.url');
req.on('error', (err) => {
  console.error('Request failed:', err);
});
