const $base.edit({ headers: {

Data format

Default, Tower parses data as JSON but you can configure it using responseAs:

// Configuration of type on root instance
const $api = tower("https://my-api.com", {
  responseAs: "response" // Return Response object
});

// Extension configuration
const $users = $api.up("users", {
  responseAs: "json"
});

// Change type of one request
$users.get("1", {
  responseAs: "text"
});

Available data formats:
