Poke: A Super Handy HTTP Request Library

'Request/request' was my favorite library all the time when i need to make http request in node, however it's deprecated for some time.

I have tried a lot of alternatives but none of them gives me the similar experience as request does.

Finally, I decided to make one, that will be my pleasure to have you guy's feedback : )

import poke from 'js.poke'

// Using promise
poke('https://httpbin.org/anything')
.promise()
.then(result => {
    // response body here
    console.log(result.body)
    // get result in json format
    return result.json()
})
.then(json => {
    // here is the json object
    console.log('json: ', json)
})
.catch(err => {
    console.log('> Error: ', err)
})
