http-req-builder

Wrapper around fabulous gotjs library.

This lib provides builder pattern, and simplifies and hides some of the gotjs features.

I personaly use this library for my API tests.

Usage

``typescript
import { JsonRequest } from 'http-req-builder'

const resp = await new JsonRequest()
.url('https://httpbin.org/post')
.method('POST')
.searchParams({
"hello": "world"
})
.body({
"testing": true
})
.send()

assert(resp.body.headers['User-Agent'].includes('got'))
assert(resp.body.json.testing)
assert(resp.body.args.hello == 'world')
`

- Start building your requests with new JsonRequest() or new FormRequest()
- Specify parameters with methods:
prefixUrl url cookieJar method headers bearerToken searchParams body
- Send constructed request with .send(), optionaly specify response body type with .send
- await returned promise, and do whatever you need

Extending

Feel free to extend BaseHttpRequest or FormRequest, JsonRequest, and add/override methods. For example, lets add simplest logging on each request:

`typescript
import { JsonRequest } from 'http-req-builder'

class MyRequest extends JsonRequest {
constructor() {
super()
// See https://github.com/sindresorhus/got#hooks
this.options = {
// Keeping options from JsonRequest
...this.options,
hooks: {
beforeRequest: [options => {
console.time(Request took)
}],
afterResponse: [response => {
console.timeEnd(Request took)
return response;
}]
}
}
}
}

await new MyRequest()
.url('https://httpbin.org/get')
.send()

await new MyRequest()
.url('https://httpbin.org/get')
.send()

// Request took: 125.032ms
// Request took: 123.292ms
