request-prom

Promise wrapper for request

Installation

This module is installed via npm:

$ npm install request-prom

Examples

Simple

var request = require('request-prom'),
request.get('http://google.com').then(function(response) {
	console.log(response.body);
});

Stream Request

var request = require('request-prom'),
	fs = require('fs'),
	stream = request.stream({ url: 'http://google.com'}),
	output = fs.createWriteStream(__dirname + '/out.html');

//to illustrate that this isn't affected by the process.nextTick problem that request suffers from
process.nextTick(function () {
	stream.pipe(output);
});

Using ResponseError

request-prom rejects promises with ResponseError if the http status code isn't 2xx

	var request = require('request-prom'),
		ResponseError = request.ResponseError; 
	
	request.get('http://ohno.com/asdaf').catch(ResponseError, function (e) {
		console.log('Oh no! The request failed with status code', e.statusCode, 'And body', e.body);
	});
