Introduction to Minimal Request Promise

minimal-request-promise is a lightweight JavaScript library designed for simple and effective HTTP requests using Promises. This makes it easier than ever to handle asynchronous operations with a clean and readable syntax.

Basic Usage

const requestPromise = require('minimal-request-promise');

requestPromise.get('https://api.example.com/data')
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.body);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

POST Request

const data = { name: 'John Doe', age: 30 };

requestPromise.post('https://api.example.com/user', { body: data })
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.body);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

PUT Request

const updateData = { age: 31 };

requestPromise.put('https://api.example.com/user/1', { body: updateData })
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.body);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

DELETE Request

requestPromise.delete('https://api.example.com/user/1')
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.body);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

App Example with Minimal Request Promise

Here’s a small app example demonstrating the use of minimal-request-promise to interact with a fictional API.

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const PORT = 3000;
const requestPromise = require('minimal-request-promise');

app.get('/users', (req, res) => {
  requestPromise.get('https://api.example.com/users')
    .then(response => {
      res.send(response.body);
    })
    .catch(error => {
      res.status(500).send(error);
    });
});

app.post('/users', (req, res) => {
  const newUser = { name: 'Jane Doe', age: 28 };
  requestPromise.post('https://api.example.com/users', { body: newUser })
    .then(response => {
      res.send(response.body);
    })
    .catch(error => {
      res.status(500).send(error);
    });
});

app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
});

By following this guide, you can leverage the power of minimal-request-promise to handle various HTTP requests efficiently while keeping your codebase clean and maintainable.
