Getting Started

Installing

Package manager

# npm
npm install xior

# pnpm
pnpm add xior

# bun
bun add xior

# yarn
yarn add xior

Use CDN

Since v0.2.1, xior support UMD format

Use jsDelivr CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/xior.umd.js"></script>

<!-- Usage -->
<script>
  console.log(xior.VERSION);

  xior.get('https://exmapledomain.com/api').then((res) => {
    console.log(res.data);
  });
</script>

Use unpkg CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/xior.umd.js"></script>

<!-- Usage -->
<script>
  xior.get('https://exmapledomain.com/api').then((res) => {
    console.log(res.data);
  });
</script>

Create instance

import xior from 'xior';

export const xiorInstance = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://apiexampledomian.com/api',
  headers: {
    // put your common custom headers here
  },
});

GET / POST / DELETE / PUT / PATCH / OPTIONS / HEAD

GET

HEAD / DELETE / OPTIONS are same usage with GET method

async function run() {
  const { data } = await xiorInstance.get('/');

  // with params
  const { data: data2 } = await xiorInstance.get('/', { params: { a: 1, b: 2 } });

  // with headers
  const { data: data3 } = await xiorInstance.get('/', {
    params: { a: 1, b: 2 },
    headers: {
      'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    },
  });

  // types
  const { data: data4 } = await xiorInstance.get<{ field1: string; field2: number }>('/');
}

POST

PUT/PATCH methods are same usage with POST

async function run() {
  const { data: data3 } = await xiorInstance.post<{ field1: string; field2: number }>(
    '/',
    { a: 1, b: '2' },
    {
      params: { id: 1 },
      headers: {},
    }
  );
}

Change default headers or params

import xior from 'xior';

export const xiorInstance = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://apiexampledomian.com/api',
});

function setAccessToken(token: string) {
  // xiorInstance.defaults.params['x'] = 1;
  xiorInstance.defaults.headers['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${token}`;
}

function removeUserToken() {
  // delete xiorInstance.defaults.params['x'];
  delete xiorInstance.defaults.headers['Authorization'];
}

Get response headers

import xior from 'xior';

const xiorInstance = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://apiexampledomian.com/api',
});

const { data, headers } = await xiorInstance.get('/');

console.log(headers.get('X-Header-Name'));

Upload file

xior supports file uploads using the FormData API and provides an optional 'xior/plugins/progress' plugin for simulating upload progress, usage similar to Axios.

import Xior from 'xior';
import uploadDownloadProgressPlugin from 'xior/plugins/progress';

const http = Xior.create({});

http.plugins.use(
  uploadDownloadProgressPlugin({
    progressDuration: 5 * 1000,
  })
);

const formData = FormData();
formData.append('file', fileObject);
formData.append('field1', 'val1');
formData.append('field2', 'val2');

http.post('/upload', formData, {
  onUploadProgress(e) {
    console.log(`Upload progress: ${e.progress}%`);
  },
  // progressDuration: 10 * 1000
});

Using interceptors

xior supports interceptors similar to Axios, allowing you to modify requests and handle responses programmatically.

Request interceptors:

import xior, { merge } from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({
  // ...options
});

http.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
  const token = localStorage.getItem('REQUEST_TOKEN');
  if (!token) return config;

  return merge(config, {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
    },
  });
});

// One more interceptors for request
http.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
  return config;
});

async function getData() {
  const { data } = await http.get('/');
  console.log(data);
  return data;
}

Response interceptors:

import xior, { merge } from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({});

http.interceptors.response.use(
  (result) => {
    const { data, request: config, response: originalResponse } = result;
    return result;
  },
  async (error) => {
    if (error instanceof TypeError) {
      console.log(`Request error:`, error);
    }
    if (error?.response?.status === 401) {
      localStorage.removeItem('REQUEST_TOKEN');
    }
    return Promise.reject(error);
  }
);

async function getData() {
  const { data } = await http.get('/');
  console.log(data);
  return data;
}

Cleanup interceptors

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({});

// Cleanup request interceptors
const handler1 = http.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
  return config;
});
http.interceptors.request.eject(handler1);
// Cleanup all request interceptors
// http.interceptors.request.clear()

// Cleanup response interceptors
const handler2 = http.interceptors.response.use((res) => {
  return res;
});
http.interceptors.response.eject(handler2);
// Cleanup all response interceptors
// http.interceptors.response.clear()

Timeout and Cancel request

Timeout:

import xior from 'xior';

const instance = xior.create({
  timeout: 120 * 1000, // set default timeout
});

await instance.post(
  'http://httpbin.org',
  {
    a: 1,
    b: 2,
  },
  {
    timeout: 60 * 1000, // override default timeout 120 * 1000
  }
);

Cancel request:

import xior from 'xior';
const instance = xior.create();

const controller = new AbortController();

xiorInstance.get('http://httpbin.org', { signal: controller.signal }).then((res) => {
  console.log(res.data);
});

class CancelRequestError extends Error {}
controller.abort(new CancelRequestError()); // abort request with custom error

Encrypt and Decrypt Example

We can use interceptors easily to handle encrypt/decrypt.

Create encryption.ts:

// encryption.ts
export const SECRET = '&*&*^SDxsdasdas776';

export function encrypt(data: string) {
  return data + '____' + SECRET;
}

export function decrypt(data: string, s?: string) {
  return data.replace('____' + (s || SECRET), '');
}

Create xior-instance.ts:

import xior from 'xior';

import { SECRET, encrypt, decrypt } from './encryption';

export const instance = xior.create();

instance.interceptors.request.use((req) => {
  req.headers['X'] = SECRET;

  if (req.url && req.data) {
    const result = JSON.stringify(req.data);
    const blob = encrypt(result);
    req.data = { blob };
  }

  return req;
});

instance.interceptors.response.use((res) => {
  if (res.request.url && res.data?.blob) {
    res.data = decrypt(res.data.blob);
    try {
      res.data = JSON.parse(res.data);
    } catch (e) {
      console.error(e);
    }
  }
  return res;
});

Tips: Make your SSR(Server-side Rendering) app more stable and faster

How we do that? Use xior's plugins:

If GET data error, at least have chance to retry;
If retry still error, return the cache data(if have) to prevent page crash or show error page;
Dedupe the GET requests
Throttle the GET requests
Return cache data first and run the fetching data task on the background

Example code:

import xior, { XiorError as AxiosError } from 'xior';
import errorRetryPlugin from 'xior/plugins/error-retry';
import dedupePlugin from 'xior/plugins/dedupe';
import throttlePlugin from 'xior/plugins/throttle';
import errorCachePlugin from 'xior/plugins/error-cache';

// Setup
const http = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000',
});
http.plugins.use(errorRetryPlugin());
http.plugins.use(errorCachePlugin());
http.plugins.use(dedupePlugin()); // Prevent same GET requests from occurring simultaneously.
http.plugins.use(throttlePlugin()); // Throttle same `GET` request in 1000ms

// 1. If `GET` data error, at least have chance to retry;
// 2. If retry still error, return the cache data(if have) to prevent page crash or show error page;
const res = await http.get('/api/get-data'); // these will retry if have error
if (res.fromCache) {
  console.log(`the data from cahce`, res.cacheTime);
}

// 3. Dedupe the same `GET` requests, this will only sent 1 real request
await Promise.all([
  http.get('/api/get-data-2'),
  http.get('/api/get-data-2'),
  http.get('/api/get-data-2'),
]);

// 4. Throttle the `GET` requests,
//    we want throttle some larget data request in 10s, default is 1s
http.get('/api/get-some-big-data', { threshold: 10e3 });

// 5. If have cache data, return the cache data first,
//    and run the real request in background
http.get('/api/get-some-big-data', { threshold: 10e3, useCacheFirst: true });

Plugins

xior offers a variety of built-in plugins to enhance its functionality:

Usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import errorRetryPlugin from 'xior/plugins/error-retry';
import throttlePlugin from 'xior/plugins/throttle';
import cachePlugin from 'xior/plugins/cache';
import uploadDownloadProgressPlugin from 'xior/plugins/progress';

const http = xior.create();

http.plugins.use(errorRetryPlugin());
http.plugins.use(throttlePlugin());
http.plugins.use(cachePlugin());
http.plugins.use(uploadDownloadProgressPlugin());

Error retry plugin

Retry the failed request with special times

API:

function errorRetryPlugin(options: {
  retryTimes?: number;
  retryInterval?: number | ((errorCount: number) => number);
  enableRetry?: boolean | (config: XiorRequestConfig, error: XiorError | Error) => boolean | undefined;
  onRetry?: (config: XiorRequestConfig, error: XiorError | Error, count: number) => void;
}): XiorPlugin;

The options object:

| Param | Type | Default value | Description | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | retryTimes | number | 2 | Set the retry times for failed request | | retryInterval | number | ((errorCount: number, config: XiorRequestConfig, error: XiorError) => number) | 3000 | After first time retry, the next retries interval time, default interval is 3 seconds; you can use function as param to return interval number too | | enableRetry | boolean | ((config: XiorRequestConfig, error: XiorError | Error) => boolean | undefined) | (config, error) => config.method === 'GET' || config.isGet | Default only retry if GET request error and retryTimes > 0 | | onRetry | boolean | ((config: XiorRequestConfig, error: XiorError | Error, count: number) => void) | undefined | For log retry info |

Basic usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import errorRetryPlugin from 'xior/plugins/error-retry';

const http = xior.create();
http.plugins.use(
  errorRetryPlugin({
    retryTimes: 3,
    // retryInterval: 3000,
    retryInterval(count, config, error) {
      // if (error.response?.status === 500) {
      //   return 10e3;
      // }
      return count * 1e3;
    },
    onRetry(config, error, count) {
      console.log(`${config.method} ${config.url} retry ${count} times`);
    },
    // enableRetry(config, error) {
    //   if ([401, 400].includes(error.response?.status)) { // no retry when status is 400 or 401
    //     return false;
    //   }
    //   // no return or return `undefined` here, will reuse the default `enableRetry` logic
    // },
  })
);

// if request error, max retry 3 times until success
http.get('/api1');

// if request error, will not retry, because `retryTimes: 0`
http.get('/api2', { retryTimes: 0 });

// if POST request error, will not retry
http.post('/api1');

// Use `enableRetry: true` to support post method, max retry 5 times until success
http.post('/api1', null, { retryTimes: 5, enableRetry: true });

Advance usage:

The retry key for the unique request generated by use params and data, if your request depends on headers, you can add request interceptor to add headers's value to params:

import xior from 'xior';
import errorRetryPlugin from 'xior/plugins/error-retry';

const http = xior.create();
http.plugins.use(errorRetryPlugin());

http.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
  config.params['___k'] = `${config.headers['x-custom-field'] || ''}`;
  return config;
});

Request throttle plugin

Throttle GET requests(or custom) most once per threshold milliseconds, filter repeat requests in certain time.

API:

function throttleRequestPlugin(options: {
  /** threshold in milliseconds, default: 1000ms */
  threshold?: number;
  /**
   * check if we need enable throttle, default only `GET` method or`isGet: true` enable
   */
  enableThrottle?: boolean | ((config?: XiorRequestConfig) => boolean | undefined);
  throttleCache?: ICacheLike<RecordedCache>;
  onThrottle?: (config: XiorRequestConfig) => void;
  throttleItems?: number;
}): XiorPlugin;

The options object:

You can override default value in each request's own config (Except throttleCache)

| Param | Type | Default value | Description | | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | threshold | number | 1000 | The number of milliseconds to throttle request invocations to | | enableThrottle | boolean | ((config: XiorRequestConfig) => boolean | undefined) | (config) => config.method === 'GET' || config.isGet | Default only enabled in GET request | | throttleCache | CacheLike | lru(100) | CacheLike instance that will be used for storing throttled requests, use tiny-lru module | | throttleItems | number | 100 | The max number of throttle items in the default LRU cache |

Basic usage:

    },
  })
);

http.get('/'); // make real http request
http.get('/'); // response from cache
http.get('/'); // response from cache
http.get('/', { throttle: 2e3 }); // custom throttle to 2 seconds

http.post('/'); // make real http request
http.post('/'); // make real http request
http.post('/'); // make real http request

http.post('/', null, {
  enableThrottle: true,
}); // make real http request
http.post('/', null, {
  enableThrottle: true,
}); // response from cache
http.post('/', null, {
  enableThrottle: true,
}); // response from cache

// make post method as get method use `{isGet: true}`,
// useful when some API is get data but the method is `post`
http.post('/get', null, {
  isGet: true,
}); // make real http request
http.post('/get', null, {
  isGet: true,
}); // response from cache
http.post('/get', null, {
  isGet: true,
}); // response from cache

function dedupeRequestPlugin(options: {
  /**
   * check if we need enable dedupe, default only `GET` method or`isGet: true` enable
   */

Error cache plugin

When request error, if have cached data then use the cached data

API:

function errorCachePlugin(options: {
  enableCache?: boolean | ((config?: XiorRequestConfig) => boolean | undefined);
  defaultCache?: ICacheLike<XiorPromise>;
  useCacheFirst?: boolean;
}): XiorPlugin;

The options object:

| Param | Type | Default value | Description | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | enableCache | boolean | ((config: XiorRequestConfig) => boolean | undefined) | (config) => config.method === 'GET' || config.isGet | Default only enabled in GET request | | defaultCache | CacheLike | lru(100, 0) | will used for storing requests by default, except you define a custom Cache with your request config, use tiny-lru module | | useCacheFirst | boolean | false | If useCacheFirst: true and there's a cache, it will return the cached response first, then run fetching task on the background. This is useful when the response takes a long time, and the data is unnecessary in real-time. | | cacheItems | number | 100 | The max number of error cache items in the default LRU cache |

Basic usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import errorCachePlugin from 'xior/plugins/error-cache';

const http = xior.create();
http.plugins.use(errorCachePlugin({}));

http.get('/users'); // make real http request, and cache the response
const res = await http.get('/users'); // if request error, use the cache data
if (res.fromCache) {
  // if `fromCache` is true, means data from cache!
  console.log('data from cache!');
  console.log('data cache timestamp: ', res.cacheTime);
  // and get what's the error
  console.log('error', res.error);
}

http.post('/users'); // no cache for post

http.post('/users', { isGet: true }); // but with `isGet: true` can let plugins know this is `GET` behavior! then will cache data

Cache plugin

Makes xior cacheable

Good to Know: Next.js already support cache for fetch in server side. More detail

Different with error-cache plugin: this plugin will use the data in cache if the cache data not expired.

API:

function cachePlugin(options: {
  enableCache?: boolean | ((config?: XiorRequestConfig) => boolean);
  defaultCache?: ICacheLike<XiorPromise>;
  cacheItems?: number;
}): XiorPlugin;

The options object:

| Param | Type | Default value | Description | | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | enableCache | boolean | ((config: XiorRequestConfig) => boolean | undefined) | (config) => config.method === 'GET' || config.isGet | Default only enabled in GET request | | defaultCache | CacheLike | lru(100, 1000*60*5) | will used for storing requests by default, except you define a custom Cache with your request config, use tiny-lru module | | cacheItems | number | 100 | Custom the default LRU cache numbers | | cacheTime | number | 1000 * 60 * 5 | Custom the default LRU cache time |

Basic usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import cachePlugin from 'xior/plugins/cache';

const http = xior.create();
http.plugins.use(
  cachePlugin({
    cacheItems: 100,
    cacheTime: 1e3 * 60 * 5,
  })
);

http.get('/users'); // make real http request
http.get('/users'); // get cache from previous request
http.get('/users', { enableCache: false }); // disable cache manually and the real http request

http.post('/users'); // default no cache for post

// enable cache manually in post request
http.post('/users', { enableCache: true }); // make real http request
const res = await http.post('/users', { enableCache: true }); // get cache from previous request
if (res.fromCache) {
  // if `fromCache` is true, means data from cache!
  console.log('data from cache!', res.cacheTime);
}

Advanced:

import xior from 'xior';
import cachePlugin from 'xior/plugins/cache';
import { lru } from 'tiny-lru';

const http = xior.create({
  baseURL: 'https://example-domain.com/api',
  headers: { 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache' },
});
http.plugins.use(
  cachePlugin({
    // disable the default cache
    enableCache: false,
    cacheItems: 1000,
    cacheTime: 1e3 * 60 * 10,
  })
);

http.get('/users', { enableCache: true }); // manually enable cache for this request
http.get('/users', { enableCache: true }); // get cache from  previous request

const cacheA = lru(100);
// a actual request made and cached due to force update configured
http.get('/users', { enableCache: true, defaultCache: cacheA, forceUpdate: true });

Upload and download progress plugin

Enable upload and download progress like axios, but the progress is simulated, This means it doesn't represent the actual progress but offers a user experience similar to libraries like axios.

API:

function progressPlugin(options: {
  /** default: 5*1000 ms */
  progressDuration?: number;
}): XiorPlugin;

The options object:

| Param | Type | Default value | Description | | ---------------- | ------ | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | progressDuration | number | 5000 | The upload or download progress grow to 99% duration |

Basic usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import uploadDownloadProgressPlugin from 'xior/plugins/progress';

const http = xior.create({});
http.plugins.use(uploadDownloadProgressPlugin());

const formData = FormData();
formData.append('file', fileObject);
formData.append('field1', 'val1');
formData.append('field2', 'val2');

http.post('/upload', formData, {
  // simulate upload progress to 99% in 10 seconds, default is 5 seconds
  progressDuration: 10 * 1000,
  onUploadProgress(e) {
    console.log(`Upload progress: ${e.progress}%`);
  },
  // onDownloadProgress(e) {
  //   console.log(`Download progress: ${e.progress}%`);
  // },
});

Mock plugin

This plugin let you eaisly mock requests

Usage:

with GET:

import xior from 'xior';
import MockPlugin from 'xior/plugins/mock';

const instance = xior.create();
const mock = new MockPlugin(instance);

Auth refresh token plugin(from community)

We will use xior-auth-refresh plugin from the community: https://github.com/Audiu/xior-auth-refresh

Install:

npm install xior-auth-refresh --save
# or
yarn add xior-auth-refresh
# or
pnpm add xior-auth-refresh

Usage:

import xior from 'xior';
import createAuthRefreshInterceptor from 'xior-auth-refresh';

// Function that will be called to refresh authorization
const refreshAuthLogic = (failedRequest) =>

    localStorage.setItem('token', tokenRefreshResponse.data.token);
    failedRequest.response.config.headers['Authorization'] =
      'Bearer ' + tokenRefreshResponse.data.token;
    return Promise.resolve();
  });

// Instantiate the interceptor
createAuthRefreshInterceptor(xior, refreshAuthLogic);

// Make a call. If it returns a 401 error, the refreshAuthLogic will be run,
// and the request retried with the new token
xior.get('https://www.example.com/restricted/area').then(/* ... */).catch(/* ... */);

Create your own custom plugin

xior let you easily to create custom plugins.

Here are examples:

Simple Logging plugin:

import xior from 'xior';

const instance = xior.create();
instance.plugins.use(function logPlugin(adapter, instance) {
  return async (config) => {
    const start = Date.now();
    const res = await adapter(config);
    console.log('%s %s %s take %sms', config.method, config.url, res.status, Date.now() - start);
    return res;
  };
});

Check built-in plugins get more inspiration:

Check src/plugins

Cleanup plugins example

import xior from 'xior';
import errorRetryPlugin from 'xior/plugins/error-retry';
const http = xior.create();

const pluginHandler = http.plugins.use(errorRetryPlugin());
http.plugins.eject(pluginHandler);

// Cleanup all plugins
// http.plugins.clear()

FAQ

xior frequently asked questions.

1. Is xior 100% compatiable with `axios`?

No, but xior offers a similar API like axios: axios.create / axios.interceptors / .get/post/put/patch/delete/head/options.

2. Can I use xior in projects like Bun, Expo, React Native, RemixJS, Next.js, Vue, or Nuxt.js?

Yes, xior works anywhere where the native fetch API is supported. Even if the environment doesn't support fetch, you can use a fetch polyfill like for older browsers.

3. How do I handle responses with types like `'stream'`, `'document'`, `'arraybuffer'`, or `'blob'`?

When {responseType: 'blob'| 'arraybuffer'}:

xior.get('https://exmaple.com/some/api', { responseType: 'blob' }).then((response) => {
  console.log(response.data); // response.data is a Blob
});

// Same with
fetch('https://exmaple.com/some/api')
  .then((response) => response.blob())
  .then((data) => {
    console.log(data); // is a Blob
  });

xior.get('https://exmaple.com/some/api', { responseType: 'arraybuffer' }).then((response) => {
  console.log(response.data); // response.data is a ArrayBuffer
});

// Same with
fetch('https://exmaple.com/some/api')
  .then((response) => response.arraybuffer())
  .then((data) => {
    console.log(data); // is a ArrayBuffer
  });

But when responseType set to 'stream', 'document' or 'original', Xior will return the original fetch response:

fetch('https://exmaple.com/some/api').then((response) => {
  console.log(response);
});

// same with
xior.get('https://exmaple.com/some/api', { responseType: 'stream' }).then((res) => {
  console.log(res.response); // But res.data will be undefined
});

And to handle a stream response, use the responseType: 'stream' option in your request, then do something with the response as fetch does:

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create({ baseURL });

const { response } = await http.post<{ file: any; body: Record<string, string> }>(
  '/stream/10',
  null,
  { responseType: 'stream' }
);
const reader = response.body!.getReader();
let chunk;
for await (chunk of readChunks(reader)) {
  console.log(`received chunk of size ${chunk.length}`);
}

5. How do I support older browsers?

You can use a polyfill for the fetch API. Check the file src/tests/polyfill.test.ts for a potential example.

6. Why is xior named "xior"?

The original name axior was unavailable on npm, so when removed the "a": ~~a~~xior.

7. Where can I ask additional questions?

If you have any questions, feel free to create issues.

Migrate from `axios` to xior

Processing a text file line by line

fetch:

      startIndex = newline.lastIndex = 0;
      continue;
    }
    yield chunk.substring(startIndex, result.index);
    startIndex = newline.lastIndex;
  }

  if (startIndex < chunk.length) {
    // Last line didn't end in a newline char
    yield chunk.substr(startIndex);
  }
}

async function run() {
  for await (const line of makeTextFileLineIterator(urlOfFile)) {
    processLine(line);
  }
}

run();

xior:

Good to Know: add {responseType: 'stream'} options will tell xior no need process response, and return original response in format {response}

import xior from 'xior';

const http = xior.create();

async function* makeTextFileLineIterator(fileURL) {
  const utf8Decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8');
  const { response } = await http.get(fileURL, { responseType: 'stream' });
  const reader = response.body.getReader();
  let { value: chunk, done: readerDone } = await reader.read();
  chunk = chunk ? utf8Decoder.decode(chunk) : '';

  const newline = /\r?\n/gm;
  let startIndex = 0;
  let result;

  while (true) {
    const result = newline.exec(chunk);
    if (!result) {
      if (readerDone) break;
      const remainder = chunk.substr(startIndex);
      ({ value: chunk, done: readerDone } = await reader.read());
      chunk = remainder + (chunk ? utf8Decoder.decode(chunk) : '');
      startIndex = newline.lastIndex = 0;
      continue;
    }
    yield chunk.substring(startIndex, result.index);
    startIndex = newline.lastIndex;
  }

  if (startIndex < chunk.length) {
    // Last line didn't end in a newline char
    yield chunk.substr(startIndex);
  }
}

async function run() {
  for await (const line of makeTextFileLineIterator(urlOfFile)) {
