rqt

rqt is a Node.js request library. Send GET and POST requests at ease.

async rqt(url: string): string

Call this function to request a web page.

const rqt = require('rqt')

(async () => {
    const res = await rqt('http://rqt.sobes.io/') // web page contents returned
})()

async rqt(url: string, { data: string, contentType: string }): string

Send a post request (with default JSON content type and calculated Content-Length). Assign more headers with headers option.

const rqt = require('rqt')

(async () => {
    const res = await rqt('http://rqt.sobes.io/post/', {
        data: JSON.stringify({ data: 'test-post-data' }),
        contentType: 'application/json', // default is assumed json
    })
})()

const rqt = require('rqt')

(async () => {
    const res = await rqt('http://rqt.sobes.io/post/headers', {
        data: 'test post data',
        contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', // non-json request
        headers: {
            'x-token': 'token123',
        },
    })
})()

ES5

The package uses some newer language features. For your convenience, it's been transpiled to be compatible with Node 4. You can use the following snippet.

const rqt = require('rqt/es5')
