cockrel-request

Cockrel plugin for making HTTP requests

Install

Require cockrel and pass it to cockrel-request to load the plugin:

const co = require('cockrel');

require('cockrel-request')(co); // Good to go!

Usage

cockrel-request is a wrapper around request and follows the same basic conventions. It exposes several new step methods:

cockrel-request sets two default options differently to standard request, we set json : true by default and add a User-Agent header 'cockrel-request', both of these can be over-ridden by passing them as options.

• .request(opts||url)
• .get(opts||url)
• .post(opts||url)
• .head(opts||url)
• .delete(opts||url)
• .put(opts||url)

request

Use the request API to GET some data from github about my user:

const co = require('cockrel');
require('cockrel-request')(co); 

const url = 'https://api.github.com/users/g5095';

co.request(args).do(console.log).begin();

If no options are passed at all, the value of the previous step will be used.
