how to use require('node-request-interceptor')

@kettanaito sorry to bother, but I'm having the same doubt here. I read the README file and saw that the presets are imported like:

import { interceptXMLHttpRequest } from 'node-request-interceptor/interceptors/XMLHttpRequest'

But the actual file is located at <node-modules>/node-request-interceptor/lib/interceptors/XMLHttpRequest.

I'm using babel to transpile my ES6+ codes, and I have to use:

import { interceptXMLHttpRequest } from 'node-request-interceptor/lib/interceptors/XMLHttpRequest'

to make it work. So is it a mistake of the README document?

Hey, @aprilandjan. Yes, that's a mistake in the README.

The presets are located at:

import withDefaultInterceptors from 'node-request-interceptor/lib/presets/default'
import { interceptClientRequest } from 'node-request-interceptor/lib/interceptors/ClientRequest'
import { interceptXMLHttpRequest } from 'node-request-interceptor/lib/interceptors/XMLHttpRequest'

Please, would you be interested to submit a pull request with the fix to the README?

Thanks for the reply! I just opened #91 for this, please review.

Hey, @zhaoxiaolei519109457.

You can use it according to the API docs.

const { RequestInterceptor } = require('node-request-interceptor')
const withDefaultInterceptors = require('node-request-interceptor/lib/presets/default')

const interceptor = new RequestInterceptor(withDefaultInterceptors)
interceptor.use((req) => {
  // Provision your interception logic 
})

Let me know if this helps.

Note that node-request-interceptor is a low-level API interception library, which means that you'd have to write a considerable amount of boilerplate to use it for requests mocking. Consider using MSW that leverages node-request-interceptor by wrapping it in a more user-friendly setupServer API. It will work for Electron apps as well.

Thank you for your reply, but it doesn't seem to be the correct answer. The following is the error reported in electro

My bad, that's a mistake in the import path.

-node-request-interceptor/presets/default
+node-request-interceptor/lib/presets/default

Hey, @aprilandjan. Yes, that's a mistake in the README.

The presets are located at:

import withDefaultInterceptors from 'node-request-interceptor/lib/presets/default'
