gaxios


> An HTTP request client that provides an axios like interface over top of node-fetch.

Install

``sh
$ npm install gaxios
`

Example

`js
import {request} from 'gaxios';
const res = await request({url: 'https://google.com/'});
`

fetch-Compatible API Example

We offer a drop-in fetch-compatible API as well.

`js
import {instance} from 'gaxios';
const res = await instance.fetch('https://google.com/');
`

To disable the auto-processing of the request body in res.data, set {responseType: 'stream'} or .adapter on a Gaxios instance's defaults or per-request.

Setting Defaults

Gaxios supports setting default properties both on the default instance, and on additional instances. This is often useful when making many requests to the same domain with the same base settings. For example:

`js
import {Gaxios} from 'gaxios';

const gaxios = new Gaxios();

gaxios.defaults = {
baseURL: 'https://example.com'
headers: new Headers({
Authorization: 'SOME_TOKEN'
})
}

await gaxios.request({url: '/data'});
`

Note that setting default values will take precedence
over other authentication methods, i.e., application default credentials.

GaxiosResponse

The GaxiosResponse object extends the fetch API's Response object, with the addition of:

- config: the configuration used for the request.
- data: the transformed .body, such as JSON, text, arrayBuffer, or more.

Request Options

`ts
interface GaxiosOptions = {
// The url to which the request should be sent. Required.
url: string | URL,

// The HTTP method to use for the request. Defaults to GET.
method: 'GET',

// The base Url to use for the request.
// Resolved as new URL(url, baseURL)
baseURL: 'https://example.com/v1/' | URL;

// The HTTP methods to be sent with the request.
headers: new Headers(),

// The data to send in the body of the request. Objects will be serialized as JSON
// except for:
// - ArrayBuffer
// - Blob
// - Buffer (Node.js)
// - DataView
// - File
// - FormData
// - ReadableStream
// - stream.Readable (Node.js)
// - strings
// - TypedArray (e.g. Uint8Array, BigInt64Array)
// - URLSearchParams
// - all other objects where:
// - headers.get('Content-Type') === 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' (as they will be serialized as URLSearchParams)
//
// Here are a few examples that would prevent setting Content-Type: application/json by default:
// - data: JSON.stringify({some: 'data'}) // a string
// - data: fs.readFile('./some-data.jpeg') // a stream.Readable
data: {
some: 'data'
},

// The max size of the http response content in bytes allowed.
// Defaults to 0, which is the same as unset.
maxContentLength: 2000,

// The query parameters that will be encoded using URLSearchParams and
// appended to the url
params: {
querystring: 'parameters'
},

// The timeout for the HTTP request in milliseconds. No timeout by default.
timeout: 60000,

// Optional method to override making the actual HTTP request. Useful
// for writing tests and instrumentation
adapter?: async (options, defaultAdapter) => {
const res = await defaultAdapter(options);
res.data = {
...res.data,
extraProperty: 'your extra property',
};
return res;
};

// The expected return type of the request. Options are:
// 'json' | 'stream' | 'blob' | 'arraybuffer' | 'text' | 'unknown'
// Defaults to unknown.
//
// If the fetchImplementation is native fetch, the
// stream is a ReadableStream, otherwise readable.Stream.
//
// Note: Setting 'stream' does not consume the Response#body - this can
// be useful for passthrough requests, where a consumer would like to
// transform the Response#body, or for using Gaxios as a drop-in fetch
// replacement.
responseType: 'unknown',

// The node.js http agent to use for the request.
agent: someHttpsAgent,

// Custom function to determine if the response is valid based on the
// status code. Defaults to (>= 200 && < 300)
validateStatus: (status: number) => true,

* Implementation of fetch to use when making the API call. Will use
* node-fetch by default.

// Configuration for retrying of requests.
retryConfig: {
// The number of times to retry the request. Defaults to 3.
retry?: number;

// The number of retries already attempted.
currentRetryAttempt?: number;

// The HTTP Methods that will be automatically retried.
// Defaults to ['GET','PUT','HEAD','OPTIONS','DELETE']
httpMethodsToRetry?: string[];

// The HTTP response status codes that will automatically be retried.
// Defaults to: [[100, 199], [408, 408], [429, 429], [500, 599]]
statusCodesToRetry?: number[][];

// Function to invoke when a retry attempt is made.
onRetryAttempt?: (err: GaxiosError) => Promise | void;

// Function to invoke which determines if you should retry
shouldRetry?: (err: GaxiosError) => Promise | boolean;

// When there is no response, the number of retries to attempt. Defaults to 2.
noResponseRetries?: number;

// The amount of time to initially delay the retry, in ms. Defaults to 100ms.
retryDelay?: number;
},

// Enables default configuration for retries.
retry: boolean,

// Enables aborting via AbortController
