request-json
Advanced tools
Request is a great HTTP client for NodeJS, but if you deal only with JSON, things could be more straightforward. This lib aims to simplify Request usage for JSON only requests.
Add it to your package.json file or run in your project folder:
npm install request-json
with Javascript:
var Client = require('request-json').JsonClient;
var client = new Client('http://localhost:8888/');
var data = {
title: 'my title',
content: 'my content'
};
client.post('posts/', data, function(err, res, body) {
return console.log(response.statusCode);
});
client.get('posts/', function(err, res, body) {
return console.log(body.rows[0].title);
});
data = {
title: 'my new title'
};
client.put('posts/123/', function(err, res, body) {
return console.log(response.statusCode);
});
client.del('posts/123/', function(err, res, body) {
return console.log(response.statusCode);
});
with Coffeescript:
Client = require('request-json').JsonClient
client = new Client 'http://localhost:8888/'
data = title: 'my title', content: 'my content'
client.post 'posts/', data, (err, res, body) ->
console.log response.statusCode
client.get 'posts/', (err, res, body) ->
console.log body.rows[0].title
data = title: 'my new title'
client.put 'posts/123/', (err, res, body) ->
console.log response.statusCode
client.del 'posts/123/', (err, res, body) ->
console.log response.statusCode
with Javascript:
data = {
name: "test"
};
client.sendFile('attachments/', './test.png', data, function(err, res, body) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
}
});
client.saveFile('attachments/test.png', './test-get.png', function(err, res, body) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
}
});
with Coffeescript:
data = name: "test"
client.sendFile 'attachments/', './test.png', data, (err, res, body) ->
console.log err if err
client.saveFile 'attachments/test.png', './test-get.png', (err, res, body) ->
console.log err if err
with Javascript:
client.setBasicAuth('john', 'secret');
client.get('private/posts/', function(err, res, body) {
return console.log(body.rows[0].title);
});
with Coffeescript:
client.setBasicAuth 'john', 'secret'
client.get 'private/posts/', (err, res, body) ->
console.log body.rows[0].title
