await-url

Wait for a given URL to continue.

Why?

• Alias a deployment when it is ready.
• Run a health check on your service.
• Know when it is safe to share.

Install

npm install await-url --global

Usage

$ await-url --help

  Usage
    $ await-url <url>

  Option
    --tries     Maximum number of polling attempts
    --interval  Milliseconds to wait between tries

  Example
    $ await-url example.com/status
    $ await-url example.com --tries=3 --interval=1000

Polling a URL until it returns 200 OK is especially useful to avoid sending traffic to it before it is ready. See a real example of deploying a server in CI.

Please consider whether a more efficient, event-based model is available to you before using this.
