req-then

req-then

Simple http(s) request function, returning a promise. Built on node's http and https modules, so works in both node and browser (via browserify).

Uses ES6 Promises, if defined. If not, use a 3rd party promise library.

Example

var request = require("req-then")

request("http://www.bbc.co.uk")
	.then(response => {
		console.log("Response received", response.data)
		console.log("The nodejs response instance", response.res)
	})
	.catch(console.error)

request(url, [options]) ⇒ Promise ⏏

Returns a promise for the response.

Kind: Exported function
Resolve: object - res will be the node response object, data will be the data
Reject: Error
