minipass-fetch

Performing HTTP GET requests

This feature allows you to perform HTTP GET requests to retrieve data from a specified URL. The response can be processed as JSON.

const fetch = require('minipass-fetch');

fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

Performing HTTP POST requests

This feature allows you to perform HTTP POST requests to send data to a server. You can include headers and a body in the request.

const fetch = require('minipass-fetch');

fetch('https://api.example.com/submit', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ key: 'value' })
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log('Success:', data))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

Streaming response data

This feature leverages the streaming capabilities of minipass-fetch to handle large amounts of data without buffering it all in memory at once.

const fetch = require('minipass-fetch');
const { PassThrough } = require('stream');

fetch('https://api.example.com/large-data')
  .then(response => {
    const stream = new PassThrough();
    response.body.pipe(stream);
    stream.on('data', chunk => console.log(chunk.toString()));
  })
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
