Node.js

Installation

npm install koajax jsdom

index.ts

import { HTTPClient } from 'koajax';
import { polyfill } from 'koajax/source/polyfill'

const origin = 'https://your-target-origin.com';

polyfill(origin).then(() => {
    const client = new HTTPClient({
        baseURI: `${origin}/api`,
        responseType: 'json'
    });
    const { body } = await client.get('test/interface');

    console.log(body);
});

Execution

npx tsx index.ts

Non-polyfillable runtimes

  1. https://github.com/idea2app/KoAJAX-Taro-adapter

Example

RESTful API with Token-based Authorization

import { HTTPClient } from 'koajax';

var token = '';

export const client = new HTTPClient().use(
    async ({ request: { method, path, headers }, response }, next) => {
        if (token) headers['Authorization'] = 'token ' + token;

        await next();

        if (method === 'POST' && path.startsWith('/session'))
            token = response.headers.Token;
    }
);

client.get('/path/to/your/API').then(console.log);

Up/Download files

Single HTTP request based on XMLHTTPRequest progress events

(based on Async Generator)

import { request } from 'koajax';

document.querySelector('input[type="file"]').onchange = async ({
    target: { files }
}) => {
    for (const file of files) {
        const { upload, download, response } = request({
            method: 'POST',
            path: '/files',
            body: file,
            responseType: 'json'
        });

        for await (const { loaded } of upload)
            console.log(`Upload ${file.name} : ${(loaded / file.size) * 100}%`);

        const { body } = await response;

        console.log(`Upload ${file.name} : ${body.url}`);
    }
};

Multiple HTTP requests based on Range header

npm i native-file-system-adapter  # Web standard API polyfill
import { showSaveFilePicker } from 'native-file-system-adapter';
import { HTTPClient } from 'koajax';

const bufferClient = new HTTPClient({ responseType: 'arraybuffer' });

document.querySelector('#download').onclick = async () => {
    const fileURL = 'https://your.server/with/Range/header/supported/file.zip';
    const suggestedName = new URL(fileURL).pathname.split('/').pop();

    const fileHandle = await showSaveFilePicker({ suggestedName });
    const writer = await fileHandle.createWritable(),
        stream = bufferClient.download(fileURL);

    try {
        for await (const { total, loaded, percent, buffer } of stream) {
            await writer.write(buffer);

            console.table({ total, loaded, percent });
        }
        window.alert(`File ${fileHandle.name} downloaded successfully!`);
    } finally {
        await writer.close();
    }
};

Global Error fallback

npm install browser-unhandled-rejection  # Web standard API polyfill
import { auto } from 'browser-unhandled-rejection';
import { HTTPError } from 'koajax';

auto();

window.addEventListener('unhandledrejection', ({ reason }) => {
    if (!(reason instanceof HTTPError)) return;

    const { message } = reason.response.body;

    if (message) window.alert(message);
});

Read Files

(based on Async Generator)

import { readAs } from 'koajax';

document.querySelector('input[type="file"]').onchange = async ({
    target: { files }
}) => {
    for (const file of files) {
        const { progress, result } = readAs(file, 'dataURL');

        for await (const { loaded } of progress)
            console.log(
                `Loading ${file.name} : ${(loaded / file.size) * 100}%`
            );

        const URI = await result;

        console.log(`Loaded ${file.name} : ${URI}`);
    }
};
