http.get(url, function(response) {

使用最新的Async/Await特性

npm install --save request
npm install --save request-promise-native

/ /代码

async function getData (){
    try{
          var rp = require ('request-promise-native');
          var options = {
          uri:'https://reqres.in/api/users/2',
          json:true
        };

        var response = await rp(options);
        return response;
    }catch(error){
        throw error;
    }        
}

try{
    console.log(getData());
}catch(error){
    console.log(error);
}

2022年更新:

从node.js v18版本开始，你可以使用全局可用的获取API(参见https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/v18-release-announce/)

在他们的公告页面上还有一个用法示例:

const res = await fetch('https://nodejs.org/api/documentation.json');
if (res.ok) {
  const data = await res.json();
  console.log(data);
}

我使用节点获取，因为它使用熟悉的(如果你是一个web开发人员)fetch() API。fetch()是从浏览器发出任意HTTP请求的新方法。

是的，我知道这是一个节点js的问题，但我们不希望减少API的开发者必须记住和理解的数量，并提高我们的javascript代码的可重用性吗?Fetch是一个标准，所以我们收敛一下如何?

fetch()的另一个好处是它返回一个javascript Promise，所以你可以像这样编写异步代码:

let fetch = require('node-fetch');

fetch('http://localhost', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
  body: '{}'
}).then(response => {
  return response.json();
}).catch(err => {console.log(err);});
