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.
Readme
req-then
Wraps node's built-in http(s) 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-lengthheader if not already present. - Automatically selects
httporhttpstransport depending on the input URL. - Cancellable (which
fetchis not).
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 - If aborted, the name property of the error will be aborted.
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| reqOptions | string | object |
Target url string or a standard node.js http request options object. |
| [reqOptions.controller] | object |
If supplied, an .abort() method will be created on it which, if invoked, will cancel the request. Cancelling will cause the returned promise to reject with an 'aborted' error. |
| [data] | * |
Data to send with the request. |
