Asynchronous HTTP request API

Examples

import { Promise } from 'async-promise';
import { HttpClient } from 'async-http';

let client = new HttpClient("https://api.github.com/");
client.getAsJsonAsync("/repos/Microsoft/TypeScript/commits/a46a6106a8f01131ef208fa51fe69b3d06574507").then(response => {
	console.log(response.commit.message);
});
