}

handler.get<ResponseData>({
  url: '/api',
  params: { param: 1 }
});

handler.del<ResponseData>({
  url: '/api',
  params: { param: 1 }
});

handler.patch<ResponseData, BodyParams>({
  url: '/api',
  options: { body: { param: 1 } }
});

handler.post<ResponseData, BodyParams>({
  url: '/api',
  options: { body: { param: 1 } }
});

handler.put<ResponseData, BodyParams>({
  url: '/api',
  options: { body: { param: 1 } }
});

You can do your own custom request

import { doRequest } from 'request'

doRequest<{ a: number }>({ 
  url: '/', 
  options: { method: 'get' } 
})

request offers some function helpers to auxiliate you to create some options and urls to your requests

import {
  getFormatedUrl,
  getHeaders,
  objectToQueryString
} from 'request'

objectToQueryString('a=1')
objectToQueryString('?a=1')
objectToQueryString({ a: 1 })
// ?a=1

getFormatedUrl({ url: 'api/', params: { a: 1 } })
// this method uses objectToQueryString 
// and returns api/?a=1

getHeaders()
/* return a new Headers which contains
  { 
    'content-type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'bearer {{token in localstorage}}'
  }
*/
