# 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](./samples) for complete coding examples. Also see the [REST](./test/tests/resttests.ts) and [HTTP](./test/tests/httptests.ts) 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](./test/tests/httptests.ts) 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](./test/tests/resttests.ts) 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

v2 - [current, maintained] - Supports node 16 and above
v1 - End Of Life, for Node < 16, contains security vulnerabilities, use at your own risk
