π» http
π» http request library heavily inspired by axios.
Most of the time, fetch
is used to interact with a JSON API. This library is a thin wrapper around fetch
that converts the request and response body to JSON by default.
π¦ Installation
This package is hosted on npm.
npm install @bradgarropy/http
π₯ Usage
This library's API is very similar to axios. You can issue HTTP requests which are assumed to be JSON by default. It returns a Promise
with the response data.
import {http} from "@bradgarropy/http"
// get all posts
const posts = await http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts")
// get one post
const post = await http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1")
// get posts by user
const userPosts = await http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", {
params: {
userId: 1,
},
})
// create a post
const newPost = await http.post("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", {
body: {
userId: 1,
title: "My post title",
body: "This is my post body.",
},
})
// update a post
const newPost = await http.patch(
"https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1",
{
body: {
userId: 1,
title: "My new post title",
body: "This is my new post body.",
},
},
)
// delete a post
const oldPost = await http.delete(
"https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1",
)
π API Reference
Every method assumes that the response coming back from the API is json
.
The request body
is converted to a string
if the Content Type is json
, or a FormData
object if the Content Type is form
. The request body
is ignored when using the GET
method.
