Simple http(s) request function, returning a promise.

Package Exports

  • req-then

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (req-then) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

req-then

Wraps the built-in node request function with a few extras:

  • Returns a promise, resolving to an object containing the data, node response and original request.
  • If data was supplied, sets a content-length header if not already present
  • Automatically selects http or https transport depending on the input URL

Example

const request = require('req-then')

request('http://www.bbc.co.uk')
    .then(response => {
        console.log('Response received', response.data)
        console.log('The nodejs response instance', response.res)
    })
    .catch(console.error)

request(reqOptions, [data]) ⇒ external:Promise

Returns a promise for the response.

Kind: Exported function
Resolve: object - res will be the node response object, data will be the data, req the original request.
Reject: Error

Param Type Description
reqOptions string | object Target url string or a standard node.js http request options object.
[data] * Data to send with the request.
