Docs

This is just an iteration of the Meteor HTTP package. It generally adheres to the original HTTP contracts, but the calls return Promises and no longer use callbacks.

Previously:

    import { HTTP } from 'meteor/http';

    HTTP.get('url', (error, response) => {
        if (error) {
            console.error(error);
        }

        console.log(response);
    });

Currently:

    import { HTTP } from 'meteor/maka:http';

    const { data, statusCode } = await HTTP.get('url');

    if (statusCode > 400) {
        console.error(data);
    } else {
        console.log(data);
    }

Changes

1. The response object no longer contains both a 'data' AND a 'content'. It only contains the data object. This object will be in a format based on the content type. (e.g., 'application/json')

2. All call, get, post, put, delete, and options return a Promise. So they'll need to be async/await-ed.

3. If there is an error (400 or over), this will no longer return an Error object. It will simply return the response from the server as it does with all other status codes.

4. The tests are broken! I plan on fixing them.

5. There is no longer an 'auth' option. To declare 'auth' use the headers section.

6. 'npmRequestOptions' and 'beforeSend' have been removed, not sure it actually did anything in the end 🤔

See the HTTP section in the Meteor docs for more details... but with a grain of salt, based on the changes above, and that Meteor has deprecated those documents 😉.

Thank you to Meteor and the Meteor community who kept this original package running well!
