api-tester

Simple node http request helper

Dependencies

Not much, really. Vanilla node.js.

Getting Started

var apiTester = require("lib/Api.js");
// apiTester accepts an options object (containing configuration options) as optional argument
var api = apiTester();

Api.js

Provides a helper function for making requests to a web API.

POST Example:

api('/updateRecipe?id=3', function(response){
    // Do something with the server response. It will normally be a parsed JSON object.
  },{method:'POST'},{
    // send this object as post values
    title:"New Veggie" 
  }
);

If not specified, method will default to GET:

api('/fetchById?id=4', function(response){
   // Do somethin with the server response.
});

For more details feel free to look at the comments inside files.
