ftproject v1.0.0

FTPackage

A package to fetch URLs that contain JSON data and return the contents in a promise.

What is this package for?

This package requests all JSON data from an array of URLs. The requests are handled asynchronously and any erros are caught during the process.

Features

• This package makes use of the fetch API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) made available in node through the node-fetch dependancy (https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-fetch). This is an alternative to XMLHttpRequest that requires minimal code.
• This package uses async & await for the asynchronous requests.

Installation

// Curently still in development but the package will be installed via npm once it is published.
