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

Request-Promise Provides promise based response. http response codes other than 2xx will cause the promise to be rejected. This can be overwritten by setting options.simple = false

var options = {
  method: 'POST',
  uri: 'http://api.posttestserver.com/post',
  body: {
  some: 'payload'
 },
  json: true // Automatically stringifies the body to JSON
};

rp(options)
.then(function (parsedBody) {
    // POST succeeded...
})
.catch(function (err) {
    // POST failed...
});
