koa-request

1.0.0 • Public • Published

koa-request

Very simple wrapper to the request library for use in koa.
Wraps the request lib as thunk-returning functions for use in kao's middleware generator-functions.

To install simply run:

npm install koa-request

Require koa first and will only work on node v0.11.7 or newer.

You must run node with --harmony flag (--harmony-generators works as well)

node --harmony example.js

Simple example using koa-request in koa:

var koa = require('koa');
var request = require('koa-request');
 
var app = koa();
 
app.use(function *() {
 
    var options = {
    	url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/dionoid/koa-request',
        headers: { 'User-Agent': 'request' }
    };
 
    var response = yield request(options); //Yay, HTTP requests with no callbacks!
    var info = JSON.parse(response.body);
 
    this.body = 'my full name is ' + info.full_name;
});
 
app.listen(process.env.PORT || 8080);
