How is an HTTP POST request made in node.js?

Question

How can I make an outbound HTTP POST request, with data, in node.js?

Answer 1

If you are looking for promise based HTTP requests, axios does its job nicely.

  const axios = require('axios');

  axios.post('/user', {firstName: 'Fred',lastName: 'Flintstone'})
      .then((response) => console.log(response))
      .catch((error) => console.log(error));

OR

await axios.post('/user', {firstName: 'Fred',lastName: 'Flintstone'})
