Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/1193

Originally assigned to: @NghiaTranUIT on GitHub.

Proxyman version? (Ex. Proxyman 1.4.3)

Proxyman 1.4.3

macOS Version? (Ex. mac 10.14)

mac 12.2.1

Steps to reproduce

Writing your own scripts for Scripting

Expected behavior

Proxyman provides Base64 lodash and other scripts.
But I want to send the network request through the Node HTTP module in the onResponse function.
I found that I couldn't use any of the built-in modules in Node. It prints undefined。
I want to process the data in onResponse and send it to an address via an HTTP request。

Screenshots (optional)

Currently, it's not possible to make an async API call in the onResponse() because it's a sync function.

Can you elaborate on what network request you'd like to use? I might bring axios or fetch if it's possible

It would be best to support Axios to send requests.
I don't really care if the request succeeds, I just want to push some data parsed in onResponse to my webHook address.
For example:
OnResponse might parse out some of the data, which I can push to a Web address on my own server via axios.
As for whether the request was successfully sent to my server, whether my server returned a status code of 200 is actually not my concern.
I think this feature will be great because there are limitations to what developers can do in Scripting right now.

i found my self need this ability also @NghiaTranUIT, once received response i want to send an http request using Axios/http/curl to my server to get slack notification sync/async its irrelevant for me either.

@NghiaTranUIT currently there is any way to do it?

Unfortunately, there is no way to perform an Async call in the scripting at the moment.

The JS Context is going to release as soon as the script is called.

I'm going to support Async soon 👍

Hey @1414044032, @NghiaTranUIT,

I tried to add this ability by myself and unfortunately failed, hope that you will be able to assist.

I think i have tried any axios.js version out there, here are my finding.

The best result i achieved was with axios version 0.14 and 0.13.
I got my console.log message printed inside my axion.get('..').than, but it seems like the request was not actually executed. the data i had inside was:

{"transformRequest":{},"transformResponse":{},"headers":{"Accept":"application/json, text/plain, */*"},"timeout":0,"xsrfCookieName":"XSRF-TOKEN","xsrfHeaderName":"X-XSRF-TOKEN","maxContentLength":-1,"method":"get","url":"http://webcode.me"}

In any version 0.15 and above i got the following error:
adapter is not a function. (In 'adapter(config)', 'adapter' is undefined)

In any version older than 0.13 i didn't receive an error however nothing was printed or triggered.

below you can find my code snippet:
`const axios = require('@libs/axios.js');

function onRequest(context, url, request) {

return request;
}

function onResponse(context, url, request, response) {
response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json";

axios.get("http://webcode.me")
.then(function(response) {
console.log("data: " + JSON.stringify(response));
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log("error:" + error);
})
return response;
}`

I think add this function only by author. Axios in node env will use HTTP module to send request. But in this application NODE env is broken. That's my guess.

Hey guys. I'm working on this feature by inspiring from the Scriptable app.

See this Request: https://docs.scriptable.app/request/#-loadjson

Basically, we can

var req = new Request(url);
var json = await req.loadJSON();

You mean that once the feature will be ready this is the way we will be able to execute requests?

The good news is that I finally found a solution that allows you to consume a Restful API 😄

var body = {
  "name": "Proxyman"
}
var result = await $http.post("https://httpbin.org", {
  "headers": {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-Key": "My Key"
  },
  "body": body
})

console.log(result)

I'm working on it, and will soon send you guys a Beta build soon 🙌
