defaults api about superagent HOT 9 CLOSED

Superapi works, it's just hacky. I'd prefere something like.

var Superapi = require('superagent');
var request = new Superagent(options)

But that's a breaking change.
I guess something like:

request.setDefaultHeader('name', 'content');

would be a saner way of going about it at this point.

Perhaps add setBaseurl and auth or sign?
I've just now created a little hack on superagent to work with API´s myself.

what about a notion of "arch requests" or "prototype requests"?

var req = request.get(...).header(...);
req.clone().header(a).end();
req.clone().header(b).end();

from superagent.

Any progress on this? I really need some defaults. Like authentication headers and request retry on token-expiry.

👍 being able to set a base url and default headers would be awesome.

Here's a wrapper I'm using on a project for managing defaults. This specific example is used for setting a base URL. You can chain other defaults as well. I typically use this as a default and then create another wrapper around this for my app or endpoint specific defaults.

Not until after 1.0

Closing. I think this could be done via plugins. We may think about something better down the road. Wrapper seems like a reasonable solution for now.
