Performs a simple HTTP Post request using the Affjax library.
The Post data that is sent with the request makes use of the PureScript Argonaut library to reduce the boilerplate needed to serialize and de-serialize the JSON.
See Thoughts on Typeclass Codecs (blog post) for pros and cons of this approach to encodings.
NB: this recipe depends upon the continuing availability of the dummy JSON provider "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
Prints to the console:
POST http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts response: {"userId":22,"title":"title","id":101,"body":"body"}
>>> (Right { body: "body", id: (Just 101), title: "title", userId: 22 })
When used in Node.js this code depends up on xhr2
This recipe is only implemented for Node.js as of this initial commit but it can be made run in the browser instead and no xhr2 dependency would apply in that case.
