FM-PROMISE library

Makes a batch request to URLs provided as parameter and return a promise

Installation and Usage

Set fm-promise as a dependency and install it.

npm i fm-promise --save

Then prefix the relevant require()s with fm-promise:

var fs = require('fm-promise')
//sample URLs
var urls = ['https://ft-tech-test-example.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ftse-fsi.json',
    'https://ft-tech-test-example.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/gbp-hkd.json'];

fs.getURLPromise(url).then(function (response) {
  //do something with response
  console.log(response);
}, function(error) {
    //something went wrong
    console.log('error', error);
})

Dependencies

This lib uses request-promise and bluebird for compatibilities' sake under the hood

Points to note

Parameter of getURLPromise expects an array of valid URLs which return json data.

If you provide an empty array, non-array variable or object as parameter, or a list of strings inside array, it will reject the promise and you should catch it in error/catch (in es6) part of promise.

Tests

you can run tests using npm run test.

FAQ

Can I provide any URL in an array ?

Can I add more features?

Sure, you can add any features

Are there any other functions by this lib?

Yes there are certain utility functions like isValidURL but we strongly recommend not to use them.
