@permaweb/beam v0.0.1

beam

A simple cURL clone built with JavaScript that uses the @permaweb/aoconnect package.

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/beam.git
cd beam

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Install globally
npm install -g .

Usage

beam [options] <url>

Options

• -X, --request <method>: Request method to use (default: "GET")
• -H, --header <header>: Pass custom header(s) to server (can be used multiple times)
• -d, --data <data>: HTTP POST data
• -o, --output <file>: Write to file instead of stdout
• -v, --verbose: Make the operation more talkative
• -f, --file <file>: Read data from file
• --raw: Display raw response data
• -h, --help: Display help for command
• -V, --version: Output the version number

Examples

# Simple GET request
beam https://example.com

# POST request with data
beam -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"value"}' https://example.com/api

# POST request with data from file
beam -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -f data.json https://example.com/api

# Save response to file
beam https://example.com -o response.txt

# Verbose mode
beam -v https://example.com

How it works

The beam CLI extracts headers from -H flags and data from -d flag, then uses the @permaweb/aoconnect package's request function to make HTTP requests. It organizes the URL, headers, and other parameters into tags that are compatible with the aoconnect API.
