httpclient

.Net Core style http client class library for Node.js

Installation

Install Fetch as an npm module and save it to your package.json file as a dependency:

npm install --save @groupp/httpclient

Usage

Library provides HttpClient class for sending HTTP requests and receiving HTTP responses. The HttpClient class instance acts as a session to send HTTP requests. An HttpClient instance is a collection of settings applied to all requests executed by that instance. In addition, every HttpClient instance uses its own connection pool, isolating its requests from requests executed by other HttpClient instances.

Example

const { HttpClient } = require('./lib/http-client');
const http = new HttpClient();
http.baseAddress = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/';
http.defaultRequestHeaders.set('X-My-Custom-Header', 'AppKey');

async function testGet(id) {
    try {
        const resp = await http.getAsync(`posts/${id}`);
        resp.ensureSuccessStatusCode();
        const result = await resp.content.readAsAsync();
        console.log(result);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
}

const { HttpClient } = require('./lib/http-client');
const http = new HttpClient();
http.baseAddress = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/';
http.defaultRequestHeaders.set('X-My-Custom-Header', 'AppKey');

async function testPost() {
    try {
        const resp = await http.postAsync(`posts`, {
            title: 'foo',
            body: 'bar',
            userId: 1
        });
        resp.ensureSuccessStatusCode();
        const result = await resp.content.readAsAsync();
        console.log(result);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
}

const { HttpClient } = require('./lib/http-client');
const http = new HttpClient();
http.baseAddress = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/';
http.defaultRequestHeaders.set('X-My-Custom-Header', 'AppKey');

async function testPut(id) {
    try {
        const resp = await http.putAsync(`posts/${id}`, {
            title: 'foo',
            body: 'bar',
            userId: 1
        });
        resp.ensureSuccessStatusCode();
        const result = await resp.content.readAsAsync();
        console.log(result);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
}

const { HttpClient } = require('./lib/http-client');
const http = new HttpClient();
http.baseAddress = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/';
http.defaultRequestHeaders.set('X-My-Custom-Header', 'AppKey');

async function testDelete(id) {
    try {
        const resp = await http.deleteAsync(`posts/${id}`);
        resp.ensureSuccessStatusCode();
        const result = await resp.content.readAsAsync();
        console.log(result);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
}
