This project is a Work in Progress and currently in development. The API is subject to change without warning.
A small fetching package for super simple usages.
Built using zero dependencies to be lightweight
and asynchronous.
Lightfetch gives you the best of size, speed, and usability.
npm install lightfetch-nodeawaitlightfetch(url,[options]);which returns a <Response>
- method: HTTP Request Method
- headers: HTTP Headers to use in Request
- body: Data to use in the Request*
* Data that can be used in body includes an Object, a string that's in x-www-form-urlencoded format, or plain text. Lightfetch will figure out what you pass in automagically and set the appropriate headers.
The items in a response include:
<Response>.status: The status code of a response<Response>.headers: The headers in a response<Response>.cookies: The cookies in a response (uses an API similar to this internally)<Response>.json: A function to parse the content of a response to JSON<Response>.text: A function to parse the content of a response to text
If the above does not statisfy your needs, you can also use
<Response>.responseto access the unmodified, raw response NodeJS outputs.
