library0.10.5jsnpmunverified

A lightweight Promise-based HTTP client for TypeScript with a filter chain architecture, version 0.10.5. Released infrequently (last update 2020). Differentiates from axios/fetch by offering a middleware-like filter system for request/response transformation, caching, or logging. Ships TypeScript types. Supports typed responses via generics. Not actively maintained; consider alternatives like ky or axios for modern apps.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

newHttpClient

✓ import { newHttpClient } from 'typescript-http-client'

✗ import newHttpClient from 'typescript-http-client'

Named export, not default.

Request

✓ import { Request } from 'typescript-http-client'

✗ const Request = require('typescript-http-client').Request

ESM-only; can also use CJS destructure but prefer named imports.

Response

✓ import { Response } from 'typescript-http-client'

Used for type annotations; no common alternative import.

Filter

✓ import { Filter } from 'typescript-http-client'

Interface for custom filters.

FilterChain

✓ import { FilterChain } from 'typescript-http-client'

Used in filter implementation.

Creates an HTTP client, builds a GET request, and executes it with typed text response.

import { Request, newHttpClient } from 'typescript-http-client'; const client = newHttpClient(); const request = new Request('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1', { responseType: 'text' }); client.execute<string>(request).then(response => { console.log(response); }).catch(err => { console.error(err); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaFilter chain: Filters must call filterChain.doFilter() or the request hangs.

fix

Ensure each filter's doFilter method awaits or returns filterChain.doFilter(call).

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingVersion 0.10.x renamed newClient() to newHttpClient().

fix

Use newHttpClient() instead of newClient().

affects: >=0.10.0

deprecatedPackage not updated since 2020; may have unpatched security issues.

fix

Consider migrating to a maintained alternative like ky or axios.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe Request constructor's responseType defaults to 'json'; set to 'text' for string responses.

fix

Explicitly set { responseType: 'text' } for non-JSON responses.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: client.execute is not a function

Old API: newClient() was renamed to newHttpClient() in v0.10.

fix

Use newHttpClient() to create the client instance.

Error: Filter must call filterChain.doFilter

A filter's doFilter did not invoke filterChain.doFilter() causing infinite wait.

fix

Add 'const response = await filterChain.doFilter(call); return response;' in each filter.

Property 'body' does not exist on type 'Response<U>'

Misunderstanding of Response type: body property exists but may be typed incorrectly.

fix

Ensure generic parameter matches expected response body type.
