Code Generation for Javascript Node/JQuery #116
Description
Your code generator for Node and JQuery is very good at the top, then tails away, for example at the start, this is good:
var https = require('https');
var options = {
'method': 'POST',
'hostname': ....
};
var req = https.request(options, function (res) {
var chunks = [];
res.on("data", function (chunk) {
chunks.push(chunk);
});
...
However, this code is not so good:
var postData = "{\n\tFieldName: 'data'\n}";
req.write(postData);
req.end();
May I suggest that this last bit uses proper JSON objects rather than strings which are simply yuk!
Even this JQuery code:
var settings = {
"url": "https://postman.com/security/authenticate",
"method": "POST",
...
"data": "{\r\n\tFullName: '{{FullName}}',\r\n\tPassword: '{{Password}}'\r\n}"
};
Should be re-written as:
var credentials = {
FullName: '{{FullName}}',
Password: '{{Password}}'
};
var sJSON = JSON.stringify(credentials);
var settings = {
"url": "https://postman.com/security/authenticate",
"method": "POST",
...
"data": sJSON
};
Much easier to read, agree?
Everything else is coming along nicely ;-)
