General Overview

This modules provides the Request as Tool to make http requests.

If you plan to use it in a Flowcontrol application, try to consider using the brick adapter of this tool cta-brick-request especially if you'd like to expose your http calls contracts in the configuration of your app.

How to use it

Instantiation

const Request = require('cta-tool-request');
const request = new Request();

Supported http methods

All http methods are supported and can be run via the main method "exec".

Example:

request.exec({
  method: 'HEAD',
  url: 'http://api.compass.int.thomsonreuters.com/authorize/v1/userRoles?appId=demo&userId=U1',  
}).then((result) => {
  console.log(result);
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error(error);
})

Although, this module provide shortcuts for the most used methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

Example:

request.get('http://api.compass.int.thomsonreuters.com/authorize/v1/userRoles?appId=demo&userId=U1')
.then((result) => {
  console.log(result);
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error(error);
})

Response

All exported methods are promises that resolve to an object with these fields:

• status: response status
• type: response data type (ex. application/json, text/html...)
• data: response data
• headers: response headers

More examples

GET via exec method

request.exec({
  method: 'GET',
  url: 'http://domain.com',  
}).then((result) => {
  // ...
})

GET with some headers

request.get('http://domain.com', {'x-from': 'CTA'})
  .then((result) => {
  // ...
  })

Or via exec

request.exec({
  method: 'GET',
  url: 'http://domain.com',
  headers: {'x-from': 'CTA'},
}).then((result) => {
  // ...
})

POST a body

request.post('http://domain.com', {foo: 'bar'})
  .then((result) => {
    // ...
  })  

Or via exec

request.exec({
  method: 'POST',
  url: 'http://domain.com',
  body: {foo: 'bar'},
}).then((result) => {
  // ...
})

POST with body and headers

request.post('http://domain.com', {foo: 'bar'}, {'x-from': 'CTA'})
  .then((result) => {
  // ...
  })

Or via exec

request.exec({
  method: 'POST',
  url: 'http://domain.com',
