How to call other domain from inside fullmoon?

[kuslahne]

Thank you for your great framework. Is there an example for accessing other url from fullmoon let say I need to fetch json data from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1 and prosess their response? Is this possible without using ajax in js file? Or we can use external lua package? There is no documentation for HTTP client access here.

Thank you

Yes, you should definitely be able to do that. Redbean provides Fetch function (available as fm.fetch from fullmoon) that allows submitting http/https requests and processing of responses (including redirects).

This would be the simplest call: assert(fm.fetch("https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/star_ratings.png")).

I'll update the documentation to mention that and include some examples. Feel free to re-open if you have other questions.
