pub-src-http

pub-src-http

HTTP source for pub-server and pub-generator

• provides get() and put() for JSON reads and writes over http
• uses built-in fetch in browser (requires node v18 or later)

src(options)

var src = require('pub-src-http');

// instantiate source
// options become properties of source
var source = src( { path:'https://....' } );

source.get(function(err, result) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  console.log(result);
});

source.path

• must be set to the URL of the HTTP endpoint

source.timeout

• not currently implemented

source.get([options], cb)

• get() fetches JSON in a single HTTP GET request from the endpoint in source.path
• the result should be an array of file objects each with a path: and a text: property
• for non "PUB" type sources, other JSON structures may be retrieved

source.put(files, [options], cb)

• does nothing unless writable is set on the source
• serializes files into JSON and transmits them via HTTP POST to the endpoint in source.path

options

• use optional options object for fetch options like headers
• use options.url to override endpoint

source.put(files, function(err, result) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  console.log(result);
});

configuring authentication

• explicit authentication configuration is not currently supported
• in the browser request cookie credentials are included
