Making HTTP GET Requests

This feature allows you to make HTTP GET requests to a specified URL. The code sample demonstrates how to use Wreck to fetch data from a URL and log the response status code and payload.

const Wreck = require('wreck');

async function fetchData(url) {
  try {
    const { res, payload } = await Wreck.get(url);
    console.log('Response:', res.statusCode);
    console.log('Payload:', payload.toString());
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error:', err);
  }
}

fetchData('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1');

Making HTTP POST Requests

This feature allows you to make HTTP POST requests with a payload. The code sample demonstrates how to use Wreck to send data to a URL and log the response status code and payload.

const Wreck = require('wreck');

async function postData(url, data) {
  try {
    const { res, payload } = await Wreck.post(url, { payload: data });
    console.log('Response:', res.statusCode);
    console.log('Payload:', payload.toString());
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error:', err);
  }
}

postData('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', { title: 'foo', body: 'bar', userId: 1 });

Handling Redirects

This feature allows you to handle HTTP redirects automatically. The code sample demonstrates how to use Wreck to follow up to 3 redirects when making a GET request.

const Wreck = require('wreck');

async function fetchWithRedirect(url) {
  try {
    const { res, payload } = await Wreck.get(url, { redirects: 3 });
    console.log('Response:', res.statusCode);
    console.log('Payload:', payload.toString());
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error:', err);
  }
}

fetchWithRedirect('http://example.com');

Managing Cookies

This feature allows you to manage cookies for your HTTP requests. The code sample demonstrates how to use Wreck to set a cookie and include it in a GET request.

const Wreck = require('wreck');

async function fetchWithCookies(url) {
  const jar = Wreck.jar();
  jar.setCookie('session=abc123', url);

  try {
    const { res, payload } = await Wreck.get(url, { cookies: jar });
    console.log('Response:', res.statusCode);
    console.log('Payload:', payload.toString());
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error:', err);
  }
}

fetchWithCookies('http://example.com');
