Typed REST and HTTP Client with TypeScript Typings

A lightweight REST and HTTP client optimized for use with TypeScript with generics and async await.

Features

• REST and HTTP client with TypeScript generics and async/await/Promises
• Typings included so no need to acquire separately (great for intellisense and no versioning drift)
• Basic, Bearer and NTLM Support out of the box. Extensible handlers for others.
• Proxy support
• Certificate support (Self-signed server and client cert)
• Redirects supported

Intellisense and compile support:

Install

npm install typed-rest-client --save

Or to install the latest preview:

npm install typed-rest-client@preview --save

Samples

See the samples for complete coding examples. Also see the REST and HTTP tests for detailed examples.

Errors

HTTP

The HTTP client does not throw unless truly exceptional.

• A request that successfully executes resulting in a 404, 500 etc... will return a response object with a status code and a body.
• Redirects (3xx) will be followed by default.

See HTTP tests for detailed examples.

REST

The REST client is a high-level client which uses the HTTP client. Its responsibility is to turn a body into a typed resource object.

• A 200 will be success.
• Redirects (3xx) will be followed.
• A 404 will not throw but the result object will be null and the result statusCode will be set.
• Other 4xx and 5xx errors will throw. The status code will be attached to the error object. If a RESTful error object is returned ({ message: xxx}), then the error message will be that. Otherwise, it will be a generic, Failed Request: (xxx).

See REST tests for detailed examples.

Debugging

To enable detailed console logging of all HTTP requests and responses, set the NODE_DEBUG environment varible:

export NODE_DEBUG=http

or

set NODE_DEBUG=http

Node support

The typed-rest-client is built using the latest LTS version of Node 8. We also support the latest LTS for Node 4 and Node 6.
