### Turn a function into an [`http.Agent`][http.Agent] instance | |
[![Build Status](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-agent-base/workflows/Node%20CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-agent-base/actions?workflow=Node+CI) | |
This module provides an `http.Agent` generator. That is, you pass it an async | |
callback function, and it returns a new `http.Agent` instance that will invoke the | |
given callback function when sending outbound HTTP requests. | |
#### Some subclasses: | |
Here's some more interesting uses of `agent-base`. | |

* [`http-proxy-agent`][http-proxy-agent]: An HTTP(s) proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTP endpoints | |
* [`https-proxy-agent`][https-proxy-agent]: An HTTP(s) proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTPS endpoints | |

* [`socks-proxy-agent`][socks-proxy-agent]: A SOCKS (v4a) proxy `http.Agent` implementation for HTTP and HTTPS | |
Installation | |
------------ | |
Install with `npm`: | |
``` bash | |
$ npm install agent-base | |
``` | |
Example | |
------- | |
Here's a minimal example that creates a new `net.Socket` connection to the server | |
for every HTTP request (i.e. the equivalent of `agent: false` option): | |
```js | |
var net = require('net'); | |
var tls = require('tls'); | |
var url = require('url'); | |
var http = require('http'); | |
var agent = require('agent-base'); | |
var endpoint = 'http://nodejs.org/api/'; | |
var parsed = url.parse(endpoint); | |
// This is the important part! | |
parsed.agent = agent(function (req, opts) { | |
var socket; | |
// `secureEndpoint` is true when using the https module | |
if (opts.secureEndpoint) { | |
socket = tls.connect(opts); | |
} else { | |
socket = net.connect(opts); | |
} | |
return socket; | |
}); | |
// Everything else works just like normal... | |
http.get(parsed, function (res) { | |
console.log('"response" event!', res.headers); | |
res.pipe(process.stdout); | |
}); | |
``` | |
Returning a Promise or using an `async` function is also supported: | |
```js | |
agent(async function (req, opts) { | |
await sleep(1000); | |
// etc… | |
}); | |
``` | |
Return another `http.Agent` instance to "pass through" the responsibility | |
for that HTTP request to that agent: | |
```js | |
agent(function (req, opts) { | |
return opts.secureEndpoint ? https.globalAgent : http.globalAgent; | |
}); | |
``` | |
API | |
--- | |
## Agent(Function callback[, Object options]) → [http.Agent][] | |
Creates a base `http.Agent` that will execute the callback function `callback` | |
for every HTTP request that it is used as the `agent` for. The callback function | |
is responsible for creating a `stream.Duplex` instance of some kind that will be | |
used as the underlying socket in the HTTP request. | |
The `options` object accepts the following properties: | |
* `timeout` - Number - Timeout for the `callback()` function in milliseconds. Defaults to Infinity (optional). | |
The callback function should have the following signature: | |
### callback(http.ClientRequest req, Object options, Function cb) → undefined | |
The ClientRequest `req` can be accessed to read request headers and | |
and the path, etc. The `options` object contains the options passed | |
to the `http.request()`/`https.request()` function call, and is formatted | |
to be directly passed to `net.connect()`/`tls.connect()`, or however | |
else you want a Socket to be created. Pass the created socket to | |
the callback function `cb` once created, and the HTTP request will | |
continue to proceed. | |
If the `https` module is used to invoke the HTTP request, then the | |
`secureEndpoint` property on `options` _will be set to `true`_. | |
