simple-rest-client

This is a rest client that works for node.js v0.4.8 and up. It's a fairly straightforward wrapper; for something complicated, the http configuration can be easily manipulated.

Usage

Just instantiate a new client and configure it:

var REST = require('simple-rest-client');
var client = new REST.SimpleRestClient();

var config = {
	
	host: 'my.url.net',
	version: '/v1.0',
	port: '80',
	username: 'username',
	password: 'password',
	contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
	
};

client.setOptions(config);

Add url segments, and GET or POST parameters to the request (pass in null if there aren't any):

GET Requests

var segments = [];
		
	segments.push('foo');
	segments.push('bar');

var getParams = {};

	getParams['key'] = 'value';	
			
client.get(segments, getParams, function (response) {
	client.showResponse(response);
});

POST Requests

var segments = [];
		
	segments.push('foo');
	segments.push('bar');

var getParams = {};

	getParams['key'] = 'value';	
	
var postParams = {};

	postParams['key'] = 'value';	
			
client.post(segments, getParams, postParams, function (response) {
	client.showResponse(response);
});	

To POST to the body:

postParams['body'] = 'value';

DELETE Requests

var segments = [];
		
	segments.push('foo');
	segments.push('bar');

var getParams = {};

	getParams['key'] = 'value';	
	
var postParams = {};

	postParams['key'] = 'value';	
			
client.del(segments, getParams, postParams, function (response) {
	client.showResponse(response);
});
