🙏 Request

jstz's Request implementation is based on the Fetch API specification. This API permits you to manipulate and inspect HTTP requests.

DANGER

⚠️ jstz's implementation is not spec compliant ⚠️

Constructors

new Request(input: Request)

DANGER

Spec deviation: The referer is copied from the given request. Additionally the mode conversion is not supported.

Constructs a new Request object as a copy of the given request.

new Request(input: string, init?: RequestInit)

DANGER

Spec deviation: Many of the RequestInit properties are not supported.

Creates a new Request object, given a URL string and optionally any request settings. The possible settings are:

  • method (string, optional)

    A string representing the HTTP method of the request. If omitted the default value is 'GET'.

  • headers (HeadersInit, optional)

    Any headers that should be attached to the request. Either a Headers object, an Array of key-value pairs, or a Record<string, string>.

  • body (BodyInit | null, optional)

    DANGER

    Spec deviation: Blob, FormData, ReadableStream and URLSearchParams are not supported for BodyInit.

    The body attached to the request. Either a string or BufferSource (an ArrayBuffer or ArrayBufferView). The body is required for the 'PUT', 'POST' and 'PATCH' methods and forbidden for the 'GET', 'CONNECT', 'TRACE', 'OPTIONS' and 'HEAD' methods.

typescript
type BodyInit = string | BufferSource;

interface RequestInit {
  body?: BodyInit | null;
  headers?: HeadersInit;
  method?: string;
}
