# Deprecated!



As of Feb 11th 2020, [`request`](https://github.com/request/request) is fully deprecated. No new changes are expected to land. In fact, none have landed for some time. This package is also deprecated because it depends on `request`.



Fyi, here is the [reasoning of `request`'s deprecation](https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142) and a [list of alternative libraries](https://github.com/request/request/issues/3143).



---



This package is similar to [`request-promise`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/request-promise) but uses native ES6+ promises.



Please refer to the [`request-promise` documentation](https://www.npmjs.com/package/request-promise). Everything applies to `request-promise-native` except the following:

- Instead of using Bluebird promises this library uses native ES6+ promises.

- Native ES6+ promises may have fewer features than Bluebird promises do. In particular, the `.finally(...)` method was not included until Node v10.



## Installation



This module is installed via npm:



```

npm install --save request

npm install --save request-promise-native

```



`request` is defined as a peer-dependency and thus has to be installed separately.



## Migration from `request-promise` to `request-promise-native`



1. Go through the [migration instructions](https://github.com/request/request-promise#migration-from-v3-to-v4) to upgrade to `request-promise` v4.

2. Ensure that you don't use Bluebird-specific features on the promise returned by your request calls. In particular, you can't use `.finally(...)` anymore.

3. You are done.



## Contributing



To set up your development environment:



1. clone the repo to your desktop,

2. in the shell `cd` to the main folder,

3. hit `npm install`,

4. hit `npm install gulp -g` if you haven't installed gulp globally yet, and

5. run `gulp dev`. (Or run `node ./node_modules/.bin/gulp dev` if you don't want to install gulp globally.)



`gulp dev` watches all source files and if you save some changes it will lint the code and execute all tests. The test coverage report can be viewed from `./coverage/lcov-report/index.html`.



If you want to debug a test you should use `gulp test-without-coverage` to run all tests without obscuring the code by the test coverage instrumentation.



## Change History



- v1.0.9 (2020-07-21)

    - Security fix: bumped `request-promise-core` which bumps `lodash` to `^4.17.19` following [this advisory](https://www.npmjs.com/advisories/1523).

- v1.0.8 (2019-11-03)

    - Security fix: bumped `request-promise-core` which bumps `lodash` to `^4.17.15`. See [vulnerabilty reports](https://snyk.io/vuln/search?q=lodash&type=npm).

      *(Thanks to @aw-davidson for reporting this in issue [#49](https://github.com/request/request-promise-native/issues/49).)*

- v1.0.7 (2019-02-14)

    - Corrected mistakenly set `tough-cookie` version, now `^2.3.3`

      *(Thanks to @evocateur for pointing this out.)*

    - If you installed `[email protected]` please make sure after the upgrade that `request` and `request-promise-native` use the same physical copy of `tough-cookie`.

- v1.0.6 (2019-02-14)

    - Using stricter `tough-cookie@~2.3.3` to avoid installing `tough-cookie@3` which introduces breaking changes

      *(Thanks to @jasonmit for pull request [#33](https://github.com/request/request-promise-native/pull/33/))*

    - Security fix: bumped `lodash` to `^4.17.11`, see [vulnerabilty reports](https://snyk.io/vuln/search?q=lodash&type=npm)

- v1.0.5 (2017-09-22)

    - Upgraded `tough-cookie` to a version without regex DoS vulnerability

      *(Thanks to @sophieklm for [pull request #13](https://github.com/request/request-promise-native/pull/13))*

- v1.0.4 (2017-05-07)

    - Fix that allows to use `tough-cookie` for [cookie creation](https://github.com/request/request-promise#include-a-cookie)

- v1.0.3 (2016-08-08)

    - Renamed internally used package `@request/promise-core` to `request-promise-core` because there where [too](https://github.com/request/request-promise/issues/137) [many](https://github.com/request/request-promise/issues/141) issues with the scoped package name

- v1.0.2 (2016-07-18)

    - Fix for using with module bundlers like Webpack and Browserify

- v1.0.1 (2016-07-17)

    - Fixed `@request/promise-core` version for safer versioning

- v1.0.0 (2016-07-15)

    - Initial version similar to [`request-promise`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/request-promise) v4
