A Modern, Typed REST Client for Node.js and Browsers

I recently published @bishal-shrestha/rest-client, a minimal and efficient REST client for JavaScript and TypeScript developers. It is designed to simplify API communication while remaining fully customizable and environment-agnostic.

Key Features

• Full TypeScript support with rich typings


• Works in both Node.js and browser environments


• Supports request and response interceptors


• Built-in error handling and retry logic


• ESM, UMD and CommonJS compatible


• Lightweight and dependency-free

Installation

npm install @bishal-shrestha/rest-client

Basic Usage

import RestClient from '@bishal-shrestha/rest-client';

const api = new RestClient('https://api.example.com');

const user = await api.getAsync('users/1');

console.log(user);

You can also set headers, intercept requests or responses, and customize error handling and retries.
