What is then-request?

The then-request npm package is a simplified HTTP client for Node.js that uses promises. It allows you to make HTTP requests and handle responses in a straightforward manner using promises, making it easier to work with asynchronous code.

What are then-request's main functionalities?

Basic GET Request

This feature allows you to make a basic GET request to a specified URL. The response is handled using a promise, and the response body is logged to the console.

const request = require('then-request');

request('GET', 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
  .done(function (res) {
    console.log(res.getBody());
  });

POST Request with JSON Body

This feature allows you to make a POST request with a JSON body. The request sends data to the specified URL, and the response is handled using a promise.

const request = require('then-request');

request('POST', 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', {
  json: {
    title: 'foo',
    body: 'bar',
    userId: 1
  }
}).done(function (res) {
  console.log(res.getBody());
});

Handling Response Headers

This feature allows you to access and log the response headers from an HTTP request. The headers are available in the response object.

const request = require('then-request');

request('GET', 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
  .done(function (res) {
    console.log(res.headers);
  });

Handling Errors

This feature demonstrates how to handle errors in HTTP requests. If the request fails, the error is caught and logged to the console.

const request = require('then-request');

request('GET', 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/invalid-url')
  .done(function (res) {
    console.log(res.getBody());
  }, function (err) {
    console.error('Request failed:', err);
  });
