simple-get-es5 
Simplest way to make http get requests, with an ES5 polyfill.
features
This module is designed to be the lightest possible wrapper on top of node.js http, but supporting:
- follows redirects
- automatically handles gzip/deflate responses
- supports HTTPS
- supports convenience
urlkey so there's no need to useurl.parseon the url when specifying options
All this in < 100 lines of code.
install
npm install simple-get-es5
usage
Note, all these examples also work in the browser with browserify.
simple GET request
Doesn't get easier than this:
var get = require('simple-get')
get('http://example.com', function (err, res) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(res.statusCode) // 200
res.pipe(process.stdout) // `res` is a stream
})even simpler GET request
If you just want the data, and don't want to deal with streams:
var get = require('simple-get')
get.concat('http://example.com', function (err, res, data) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(res.statusCode) // 200
console.log(data) // Buffer('this is the server response')
})POST, PUT, PATCH, HEAD, DELETE support
For POST, call get.post or use option { method: 'POST' }.
var get = require('simple-get')
var opts = {
url: 'http://example.com',
body: 'this is the POST body'
}
get.post(opts, function (err, res) {
if (err) throw err
res.pipe(process.stdout) // `res` is a stream
})A more complex example:
var get = require('simple-get')
get({
url: 'http://example.com',
method: 'POST',
body: 'this is the POST body',
// simple-get accepts all options that node.js `http` accepts
// See: http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback
headers: {
'user-agent': 'my cool app'
}
}, function (err, res) {
if (err) throw err
// All properties/methods from http.IncomingResponse are available,
// even if a gunzip/inflate transform stream was returned.
// See: http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_incomingmessage
res.setTimeout(10000)
console.log(res.headers)
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
// `chunk` is the decoded response, after it's been gunzipped or inflated
// (if applicable)
console.log('got a chunk of the response: ' + chunk)
}))
})JSON
You can serialize/deserialize request and response with JSON:
var get = require('simple-get')
var opts = {
method: 'POST',
url: 'http://example.com',
body: {
key: 'value'
},
json: true
}
get.concat(opts, function (err, res, data) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(data.key) // `data` is an object
})Forms
You can send application/x-www-form-urlencoded form data:
var get = require('simple-get')
var opts = {
method: 'POST',
url: 'http://example.com',
form: {
key: 'value'
}
}
get.concat(opts, function (err, res, data) {})license
