Quick Start

Step 1: Set the Config (Skip if you are ok with default config)

// During the app initialization step (usually before anyapi call) call setConfig method of commons-generic-http
// If you want details for few apis, call this method again

const httpRequest = require('commons-generic-http')
httpRequest.setConfig({
    retry: 3,
    logAxiosDetails: false,
    retryAfter: 10,
    timeout: 15000,
    logLevel: "info",
})

The default config is as below

Step 2: Call APIs anywhere in your app

const token = 'exyaukv93976kfds87s9'
const httpRequest = require('commons-generic-http')

const response = await httpRequest.httpCall({
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
    },
    url: 'http://api.some-endpoint.com',
    proxy: false, // Pass in false in case of not using proxy
    data: {}// data for POST method
})

// Required fields: url, method, proxy

httpCall method will accept an object of type AxiosRequestConfig
