Package Exports
- simple-get
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 (simple-get) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
simple-get 
Simplest way to make http get requests
features
This module is designed to be the lightest possible wrapper on top of node.js http, but supporting:
- follows redirects
- automatically handles gzip/deflate responses
- supports HTTPS
- supports convenience
urlkey so there's no need to useurl.parseon the url when specifying options
All this in < 100 lines of code.
install
npm install simple-getusage
simple GET request
Doesn't get easier than this:
var get = require('simple-get')
get('http://example.com', function (err, res) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(res.statusCode) // 200
res.pipe(process.stdout) // `res` is a stream
})even simpler GET request
If you just want the data, and don't want to deal with streams:
var get = require('simple-get')
get.concat('http://example.com', function (err, res, data) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(res.statusCode) // 200
console.log(data) // Buffer('this is the server response')
})POST, PUT, PATCH, HEAD, DELETE support
For POST, call get.post or use option { method: 'POST' }.
var get = require('simple-get')
var opts = {
url: 'http://example.com',
body: 'this is the POST body'
}
get.post(opts, function (err, res) {
if (err) throw err
res.pipe(process.stdout) // `res` is a stream
})A more complex example:
var get = require('simple-get')
var concat = require('concat-stream')
get({
url: 'http://example.com',
method: 'POST',
body: 'this is the POST body',
// simple-get accepts all options that node.js `http` accepts
// See: http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback
headers: {
'user-agent': 'my cool app'
}
}, function (err, res) {
if (err) throw err
// All properties/methods from http.IncomingResponse are available,
// even if a gunzip/inflate transform stream was returned.
// See: http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_incomingmessage
res.setTimeout(10000)
console.log(res.headers)
res.pipe(concat(function (data) {
// `data` is the decoded response, after it's been gunzipped or inflated
// (if applicable)
console.log('got the response: ' + data)
}))
