Yes it would!
@DanielHeath the dependencies might be a bit stale. Feel free to update them. Also, this project uses TypeScript, so you might want to download Visual Studio Code for free on Windows/Mac/Linux.
That's just the dep update, right?
Should I be editing lib
or d.ts
?
Also, it looks like data
is totally ignored on the node side; is that right?
Yes. I only updated the dependencies.
You want to edit files in the lib
folder. The d.ts
folder is generated. I actually need to clean up how these generated files are being pushed to GitHub, but I don't have a great strategy for that yet.
What do you mean data
is totally ignored on the Node side? You can look at runIsomorphicTests
for the tests that run on both Node and in-browser. Otherwise, node/Http.spec.ts
has the tests that are specific only to Node and browser/Http.spec.ts
has the tests specific only to the browser.
BTW – what OS are you developing on? If Mac, you might have to disable the IE test, locally. If on Windows, you might have to disable Safari. Just FYI.
lib/node/Http.ts
doesn't mention Helpers
or this.data
anywhere.
Therefore, if you pass data
it'll be ignored when making a request on the server, right?
If you're talking about sending data
, you have to send it in the headers. Whether the server ignores it or not depends on your server. This library is intended to be very minimal and basic. Anything above and beyond simple HTTP requests would have to be another library that extends this one (e.g., passing data
as an option, like jQuery).
If you want to receive data
, that's handled here and given to you as response.text
.
Where did Helpers
come from?
I'm referring to https://github.com/jedmao/iso-http/blob/master/lib/browser/Http.ts#L49 when I talk about data
, and https://github.com/jedmao/iso-http/blob/master/lib/Helpers.ts when I talk about Helpers
The Node HTTP client doesn't need Helpers to function, so that's why it doesn't reference them. As for the data
, I must not have documented that, so I can't remember myself. I vaguely remember having to send the data in the headers, but that's not very isomorphic (i.e., doesn't work the same across clients).
Also, it doesn't look like there are any tests against data
, which might be valuable.
I'm using an API which specifies filters by passing the same URL parameter twice.
From reading the code, I'd need to provide an alternative implementation of
serializeObject
that could do this.Would a PR to make hooking that possible be accepted?
