# [node-stress](http://mithunsatheesh.github.io/node-stress)

Light weight Node.js module to apply specified load on a REST API and retrieve the response statistics. I gives the counts of good,bad and errored responses along with the time  taken to process them all.

## Installation

    npm install node-stress

## Usage

``` js

var stress = require("node-stress");

stress({

			

		host: url, //strip off the starting http:// same as in case of node http request

		port: port,

		path: path

		

		

	},RequestCount,callback);

```

## Example

``` js

var stress = require("node-stress");

stress({

			

		host: 'rest.api.url',

		port: 80,

		path: '/getData.php?command=1'

		

		

	},RequestCount,function(data){

		

		console.log("Requests Sent : "+data.ReqStarted);

		

		if(data.response.GoodResponse)

			console.log("Good Response (200 OK) : ", data.response.GoodResponse);

			

		if(data.response.BadResponse)

			console.log("Bad Response : ", data.response.BadResponse);

			

		if(data.response.ErrorResponse) {

			console.log("Error Response : ", data.response.ErrorResponse);

			console.log(JSON.stringify(data.response.ErrorList,undefined,4));

		}

		console.log("Test Stats : "+data.fact);

});

```

## Parameters

`host` - the url of the REST API after stripping down the starting http://. For more info check the input parameter for the node sample [http request](http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback).

`port` - port at which the REST API runs

`path` - path to the page we are sending request

`RequestCount` - the load to be applied in number (eg:1000)
