Request-Promise-Native
Deprecated!
As of Feb 11th 2020, request is fully deprecated. No new changes are expected to land. In fact, none have landed for some time. This package is also deprecated because it depends on request.
Fyi, here is the reasoning of request's deprecation and a list of alternative libraries.
This package is similar to request-promise but uses native ES6+ promises.
Please refer to the request-promise documentation. Everything applies to request-promise-native except the following:
- Instead of using Bluebird promises this library uses native ES6+ promises.
- Native ES6+ promises may have fewer features than Bluebird promises do. In particular, the
.finally(...)method was not included until Node v10.
Installation
This module is installed via npm:
npm install --save request
npm install --save request-promise-native
request is defined as a peer-dependency and thus has to be installed separately.
Migration from request-promise to request-promise-native
- Go through the migration instructions to upgrade to
request-promisev4. - Ensure that you don't use Bluebird-specific features on the promise returned by your request calls. In particular, you can't use
.finally(...)anymore. - You are done.
Contributing
To set up your development environment:
- clone the repo to your desktop,
- in the shell
cdto the main folder, - hit
npm install, - hit
npm install gulp -gif you haven't installed gulp globally yet, and - run
gulp dev. (Or runnode ./node_modules/.bin/gulp devif you don't want to install gulp globally.)
gulp dev watches all source files and if you save some changes it will lint the code and execute all tests. The test coverage report can be viewed from ./coverage/lcov-report/index.html.
If you want to debug a test you should use gulp test-without-coverage to run all tests without obscuring the code by the test coverage instrumentation.
