An universal version of the node.js library request

- Uses superagent to achieve its "universal" nature

Version 1.0.0

Usage

Below is a sample code for how to use this library:

const request = require('request-sa');

request({
  method: 'POST', // http method of the request
  headers: {}, // request headers
  qs: {}, // query string map. Best used in GET requests
  json: {}, // send data like this for application/json requests. can also be set to "true",
  form: {}, // send data like this for application/x-www-form-urlencoded requests
  formData: (() => {
    const form = new FormData();
    form.append('foo', 'bar');
    form.append('file', someFile);

    return form;
  })(), // send data like this for multipart/form-data requests
  getFullResponse: false // optional, defaults to "false". By default, successful requests only return response body
}).then((resOrBody) => {
  // do something with res or body
}).catch((err) => {
  // do something with err
});

You can access the set of active-requests and check if the library is busy like this:

console.log(request.activeRequests); // request.activeRequests is a "Set"
console.log(request.isBusy()); // true or false

You can also abort a request midway like this:

const reqPromise = request({...});

reqPromise.abort();
