As of Feb 11th 2020, 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 and a list of alternative libraries.
This package is similar to request-promise but uses native ES6+ promises.
Please refer to the request-promise documentation. 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.
This module is installed via npm:
request is defined as a peer-dependency and thus has to be installed separately.
request-promise to request-promise-nativeGo through the migration instructions to upgrade to request-promise v4.
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.
You are done.
To set up your development environment:
clone the repo to your desktop,
in the shell cd to the main folder,
hit npm install,
hit npm install gulp -g if you haven't installed gulp globally yet, and
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.
v1.0.9 (2020-07-21)
Security fix: bumped request-promise-core which bumps lodash to ^4.17.19 following this advisory.
v1.0.8 (2019-11-03)
Security fix: bumped request-promise-core which bumps lodash to ^4.17.15. See vulnerabilty reports. (Thanks to @aw-davidson for reporting this in issue #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 request-promise-native@1.0.6 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)
Security fix: bumped lodash to ^4.17.11, see vulnerabilty reports
v1.0.5 (2017-09-22)
Upgraded tough-cookie to a version without regex DoS vulnerability (Thanks to @sophieklm for pull request #13)
v1.0.4 (2017-05-07)
Fix that allows to use tough-cookie for cookie creation
v1.0.2 (2016-07-18)
