Returns

• Promise<any> - A promise that resolves with the response data in JSON format.

Usecase

Here is an example of using the fetchData function to fetch and log the length of the data:

Simple Get Request

import fetchData from 'data-fetch-ts';

const data = async () => {
    const endpoint = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos';
    const res = await fetchData({ endpoint });
    console.log(res.length);
};

data();

Post Request

import fetchData from 'data-fetch-ts';

const data = async () => {
    const endpoint = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos';
    const body = { 'name' : 'soumik', 'email' : `01754759169`, };
    const res = await fetchData({ endpoint, method : 'POST', body });
    console.log(res.length);
}

when you use post request the body required

PUT Request

import fetchData from 'data-fetch-ts';

const data = async () => {
    const endpoint = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos';
    const body = { 'name' : 'soumik', 'email' : `01754759169`, 'age' : '19' };
    const token = 'dsjlfjalkfjdalskdfjaskldfjklutwiueiweojflaskdjfasdfjsdfk_jsldfjskldfj' 
    const res = await fetchData({ endpoint, method : 'PUT', body, token });
    console.log(res.length);
}

If a token is required, you don't need to do a lot of work; just pass the token. Authorization and Bearer are already set, so you just need to pass the token.

Recive your token

# extract token from headers
const extractToken = (req, res, next) => {
    const authHeader = req.headers['authorization'];

    if (authHeader) {
        const token = authHeader.split(' ')[1]; // Assuming 'Bearer <token>'
        req.token = token; // Attach the token to the request object
    } else {
        req.token = null;
    }

    next();
};
