It supports a range of features, including handling form data, file uploads, JSON requests, binary data, streaming, and much more, all within a modern, promise-based API. -For further information read the linked docs at the top of this readme. +Below we will cover key usage scenarios of `@push.rocks/smartrequest`, showcasing its capabilities and providing you with a solid starting point to integrate it into your projects. -> MIT licensed | **©** [Lossless GmbH](https://lossless.gmbh) -| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy) +### Simple GET Request -[![repo-footer](https://lossless.gitlab.io/publicrelations/repofooter.svg)](https://maintainedby.lossless.com) +For fetching data from a REST API or any web service that returns JSON: + +```typescript +import { getJson } from '@push.rocks/smartrequest'; + +async function fetchGitHubUserInfo(username: string) { + const response = await getJson(`https://api.github.com/users/${username}`); + console.log(response.body); // The body contains the JSON response +} + +fetchGitHubUserInfo('octocat'); +``` + +The `getJson` function simplifies the process of sending a GET request and parsing the JSON response. + +### POST Requests with JSON + +When you need to send JSON data to a server, for example, creating a new resource: + +```typescript +import { postJson } from '@push.rocks/smartrequest'; + +async function createTodoItem(todoDetails: { title: string; completed: boolean }) { + const response = await postJson('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos', { + requestBody: todoDetails + }); + console.log(response.body); // Log the created todo item +} + +createTodoItem({ title: 'Implement smartrequest', completed: false }); +``` + +`postJson` handles setting the appropriate content-type header and stringifies the JSON body. + +### Handling Form Data and File Uploads + +`@push.rocks/smartrequest` simplifies the process of uploading files and submitting form data to a server: + +```typescript +import { postFormData, IFormField } from '@push.rocks/smartrequest'; + +async function uploadProfilePicture(formDataFields: IFormField[]) { + await postFormData('https://api.example.com/upload', {}, formDataFields); +} + +uploadProfilePicture([ + { name: 'avatar', type: 'filePath', payload: './path/to/avatar.jpg', fileName: 'avatar.jpg', contentType: 'image/jpeg' }, + { name: 'user_id', type: 'string', payload: '12345' } +]); +``` + +### Streaming Support + +For cases when dealing with large datasets or streaming APIs, `@push.rocks/smartrequest` provides streaming capabilities: + +```typescript +import { getStream } from '@push.rocks/smartrequest'; + +async function streamLargeFile(url: string) { + const stream = await getStream(url); + + stream.on('data', (chunk) => { + console.log('Received chunk of data.'); + }); + + stream.on('end', () => { + console.log('Stream ended.'); + }); +} + +streamLargeFile('https://example.com/largefile'); +``` + +`getStream` allows you to handle data as it's received, which can be beneficial for performance and scalability. + +### Advanced Options and Customization + +`@push.rocks/smartrequest` is built to be flexible, allowing you to specify additional options to tailor requests to your needs: + +```typescript +import { request, ISmartRequestOptions } from '@push.rocks/smartrequest'; + +async function customRequestExample() { + const options: ISmartRequestOptions = { + method: 'GET', + headers: { + 'Custom-Header': 'Value' + }, + keepAlive: true // Enables connection keep-alive + }; + + const response = await request('https://example.com/data', options); + console.log(response.body); +} + +customRequestExample(); +``` + +`request` is the underlying function that powers the simpler `getJson`, `postJson`, etc., and provides you with full control over the HTTP request. + +Through its comprehensive set of features tailored for modern web development, `@push.rocks/smartrequest` aims to provide developers with a powerful tool for handling HTTP/HTTPS requests efficiently. Whether it's a simple API call, handling form data, or processing streams, `@push.rocks/smartrequest` delivers a robust, type-safe solution to fit your project's requirements. + +## License and Legal Information + +This repository contains open-source code that is licensed under the MIT License.
