Send a Form-URL-Encoded REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded, which sends an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request. The body is built from the query parameters added to the object, and the response body is returned as text.

import { Rest } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  const rest = new Rest();
  const bTls = true;
  const bAutoReconnect = true;
  try {
    await rest.connectAsync('example.com', 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect);
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // The application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
  rest.addQueryParam('username', 'alice');
  rest.addQueryParam('action', 'login');

  // Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
  // query string.
  let responseText: string;
  try {
    responseText = await rest.fullRequestFormUrlEncodedAsync('POST', '/api/login');
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(responseText);
}
