Promisified Request

This simple module wraps Mikeal's request module. Instead of calling Async callbacks on errors or on response, this module will return a Promise.

Installation

$ npm install promisified-request

or simply add promisified-request in your package.json.

Functional Usage

You can use this module both in a functional and an OO way.

Methods

So far this module implements the following methods:

• request - Perform whatever request you want. You'll have to specify the method in options.
• get - Performs a get request.
• post - Perform a post request.

Arguments

The syntax of promisified-request is similar to the syntax of the original request. The only difference is the last argument which in that case should be something that implements the request interface.

Here are the ways to use promisified-request methods:

• method(url, options, request)
• method(options, request)

Example

Here is a demonstration of how to use promisified-request with a Cookie Jar.

var request  = require("request");
var pRequest = require("promisified-request");

request = request.defaults({jar: true});

var promise = pRequest.get("http://www.google.com", { followAllRedirects: true }, request);

promise.then(console.log);

Object Oriented Usage

You can use promisified-request as an object with instance, so you won't need to pass request object each time.

Creating Instance

In order to create and instance you should use the method create. This method takes request as an argument.

Methods

• pRequest(url, options) - The method should be specified in options.
• pRequest.get(url, options)
• pRequest.post(url, options)

Arguments

You can use url or options or both.

Example

var request  = require("request");
var pRequest = require("promisified-request");

request = request.defaults({jar: true});
pRequest = pRequest.create(request);

var promise = pRequest.get("http://www.google.com", { followAllRedirects: true });

promise.then(console.log);
