Avindra Goolcharan 6a4a85c57f Doc fixes, minor examples cleanup (#2198)
* README.md COOKBOOK.md: minor fixes

 * simplify language

* ECOSYSTEM: create a few categories

* Examples: log port listening to

* upgrade bootstrap 3 -> 4 in examples

bootstrap 4 is slightly smaller then 3.2.0
so it should also help load examples faster

* categorize 0.19 items a little differently

Cookbook

This cookbook contains recipes for some commonly requested features.

In order to keep axios as lightweight as possible, it is often necessary to say no to feature requests. Many of these use cases can be supported by augmenting axios with other libraries.

Promise.prototype.done

$ npm install axios promise --save
const axios = require('axios');
require('promise/polyfill-done');

axios
  .get('http://www.example.com/user')
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.data);
    return response;
  })
  .done();

Promise.prototype.finally

$ npm install axios promise.prototype.finally --save
const axios = require('axios');
require('promise.prototype.finally').shim();

axios
  .get('http://www.example.com/user')
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.data);
    return response;
  })
  .finally(() => {
    console.log('this will always be called');
  });

Inflate/Deflate

$ npm install axios pako --save
// client.js
const axios = require('axios');
const pako = require('pako');

const user = {
  firstName: 'Fred',
  lastName: 'Flintstone'
};

const data = pako.deflate(JSON.stringify(user), { to: 'string' });

axios
  .post('http://127.0.0.1:3333/user', data)
  .then((response) => {
    response.data = JSON.parse(pako.inflate(response.data, { to: 'string' }));
    console.log(response.data);
    return response;
  });
// server.js
const pako = require('pako');
const http = require('http');
const url = require('url');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  req.setEncoding('utf8');

  const parsed = url.parse(req.url, true);
  const pathname = parsed.pathname;

  if (pathname === '/user') {
    let data = '';
    req.on('data', (chunk) => {
      data += chunk;
    });

    req.on('end', () => {
      const user = JSON.parse(pako.inflate(data, { to: 'string' }));
      console.log(user);

      res.writeHead(200, {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      });
      res.end(pako.deflate(JSON.stringify({result: 'success'}), { to: 'string' }));
    });
  } else {
    res.writeHead(404);
    res.end(pako.deflate(JSON.stringify({result: 'error'}), { to: 'string' }));
  }
});

server.listen(3333);

JSONP

$ npm install jsonp --save
const jsonp = require('jsonp');

jsonp('http://www.example.com/foo', null, (err, data) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err.message);
  } else {
    console.log(data);
  }
});
