@lakca/superagent-toolkit v1.0.0

superagent-toolkit

Superagent plugin, providing frequently used tools, like reporting message of current request, directly retrieving specific property of response, etc.

Usage

Agent

const superagent = require('superagent')
const toolkit = require('@lakca/superagent-toolkit')

const agent = new superagent.Agent()

agent.use(toolkit(options))

agent
  .get('/test')
  .configure('...', '...') // change config

General

const superagent = require('superagent')
const toolkit = require('@lakca/superagent-toolkit')

superagent
  .get('/test')
  .use(toolkit(options))

Options

options.configure {function}

Set configure function, which can be called to change config later.

options.report {(error: Error, message: string, response: superagent.Response): void}

Function to receive message of request.

Note: it will benefit from using this function for global notification of request status.

options.clientError {true|string|string[]|function}

Dealing with 4xx except 401 http code. If value is:

• true, report message retrieved using config.messageProperty;
• string, report message using the string instead;
• string[], report message using ths first not nullable(!= null) property retrieving via the array element one by one, such as ['body.message', 'header.statusMessage'];
• function, report message using returned value if which is not void.

options.serverError {true|string|string[]|function}

Dealing with 5xx http code. Similar as config.clientError.

options.unauthorized {true|string|string[]|function}

Dealing with 401 http code. If value is:

• true, reload current window;
• string, redirect using the string;
• string[], redirect using ths first not nullable(!= null) property retrieving via the array element one by one, such as ['body.location'];
• function, redirect using returned value if which is not void, so you can provide your own redirection in the function without returning value.

options.messageProperty {string=res.statusMessage}

Report message property.

when http code is 2xx, using this to retrieve message.

also, this is the default message property for true value of config.clientError and config.serverError.

Note: support descendant property, such as body.message

options.returnProperty {string}

Response property expected to be returned instead of the whole response object.

Note: support descendant property, such as body.data

options.swallowError {boolean=false}

Silence error, no request/response error will be thrown since superagent does that by default.

Note: this is useful when we handle request status by general handler config.report, then focusing on handling business data in dealing with your business logic.

options.debug {boolean=false}

log to console.

options.prefix {string}

options.suffix {string}

options.jsonp {object}
