shr

Simple HTTP requests for browser. "Simple requests" don't trigger a CORS preflight.

Installation

npm install shr --save

Example

import client from 'shr'

client
  .get('https://api.example.com/users')
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response)
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.log(error)
  })

Documentation

To avoid preflight requests, data is serialized using qs library and sent with Content-Type header as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. PUT, PATCH and DELETE requests are made as POST requests with an additional field _method set to the method name which needs to be supported by the backend.

const client = create(options)

client.request(url, options)
client.get(url, params, options)
client.post(url, data, options)
