Usage

Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.

note: smartrequest uses the native node request module under the hood (not the one from npm)

import * as smartrequest from 'smartrequest'

// simple post
let options: smartrequest.ISmartRequestOptions = { // typed options
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
        "Authorization": "Bearer token"
    },
    requestBody: {
        key1: 'value1',
        key2: 3
    }
}

smartrequest.post('https://example.com', options).then(res => {
    console.log(res.status)
    console.log(res.body) // if json, body will be parsed automatically
}).catch(err => {
    console.log(err)
})

// also available
smartrequest.get(...)
smartrequest.put(...)
smartrequest.del(...)

// streaming
smartrequest.get('https://example.com/bigfile.mp4', optionsArg, true).then(res => { // third arg = true signals streaming
    console.log(res.status)
    res.on('data', data => {
        // do something with the data chunk here
    }
    res.on('end', () => {
        // do something when things have ended
    })
})
