request engine

'use strict'

const _ = require('ninjs-lodash')
const request = require('../')
const fs = require('fs-extra')
const http = require('http')

const _NAME = _.path.name(__filename)
const _NS = `ninjs.request.test.${_NAME}`
const _URL = 'https://google.com'

module.exports = {

function run(options) {
  toFile()

  toPut()
  toPost()

  getPut()
  getPost()

  getPutWithResponseEvent()
  getPutWithErrorEvent()

  httpTest()
  advancedHttpTest()

  piping()

// You can stream any response to a file stream.
function toFile() {
  request('http://google.com/doodle.png')
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('doodle.png'))
}
HTTP Headers, such as User-Agent, can be set in the options object. In the example below, we call the github API to find out the number of stars and forks for the request repository. This requires a custom User-Agent header as well as https.

var request = require('request');

var options = {
  url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/request/request',
  headers: {
    'User-Agent': 'request'
  }
};

function callback(error, response, body) {
  if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
    var info = JSON.parse(body);
    console.log(info.stargazers_count + " Stars");
    console.log(info.forks_count + " Forks");
  }
}

request(options, callback);
