Installation

Usage

var glenlivet = require('glenlivet');
var Bottle = glenlivet.Bottle;

glenlivet.plugin.register(require('glenlivet-fetch'));

var getProlificHome = new Bottle({
	fetch: {
		uri: 'http://www.prolificinteractive.com'
	}
});

getProlificHome.hooks.after('fetch', function (result) {
	result.fetch.nmrChars = result.fetch.body.length;

getProlificHome.fetch(function (result) {
	//Use the result somehow
});

HTTP Methods

You can specify GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods.

Example:

var bottle = new Bottle({
	fetch: {
		method: 'POST',
		bodyType: 'form', //"form" or "json". Defaults to "form".
		uri: 'http://www.prolificinteractive.com/form'
	}
})

For PUT and POST requests, bodyType will specify if the body is serialized as json or form data.

Request Parameters

You can specify various request parameters, which will automatically get mapped to the request.

Example:

var bottle = new Bottle({
	fetch: {
		method: 'POST',
		uri: 'http://www.prolificinteractive.com/forms/:form',
		params: {
			form: {
				type: 'uri',
				default: 'contact'
			},
			message: {
				type: 'body'
			},
			callback_url: {
				type: 'query'
			},
			referer: {
				type: 'header',
				default: 'http://www.prolificinteractive.com/form'
			}
		}
	}
});
