http-methods-constants is a lightweight utility package that provides standard HTTP method verbs as string constants. Its primary purpose is to eliminate "magic strings" in codebases, improving readability and reducing potential typos when referring to methods like 'GET', 'POST', 'PUT', or 'DELETE'. The current stable version is 1.1.0. Given its fundamental nature, it is expected to have a very stable and infrequent release cadence, with new versions primarily occurring for minor improvements or ecosystem compatibility updates rather than new features. It differentiates itself through its extreme simplicity and singular focus, offering a straightforward object of string constants without additional logic or validation, making it an ideal drop-in for projects needing explicit HTTP method references.
npm install http-methods-constantsVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Demonstrates importing the constants object and iterating through all available HTTP methods, followed by a conceptual example of using them in a request handler for clarity.
Use a dedicated HTTP framework (e.g., Express, Koa) or a request library (e.g., Axios, Node's built-in `http` module) for actual HTTP request handling and validation.
Always import the full object: `const httpMethods = require('http-methods-constants');` for CommonJS or `import httpMethods from 'http-methods-constants';` for ESM.Ensure you are importing the full object: `const httpMethods = require('http-methods-constants');` in CommonJS or `import httpMethods from 'http-methods-constants';` in ESM. Then access methods as properties: `httpMethods.GET`.Run `npm install http-methods-constants` to ensure the package is in your `node_modules` directory. Verify the import statement is `require('http-methods-constants')` or `import httpMethods from 'http-methods-constants'`.No dependency data recorded yet.
