Another Browser based HTTP request wrapper.

Why?

• Less opinonated than axios
• Easy Error handling

// Create Instances
let api = new LightPath({
  baseURL: "http://localhost:5000",
  timeout: 8000,
  headers: { authorization: "Bearer token" },
  query: "?api_key=1234567"
});

async function testGetInstance(url) {
  try {
    await api.get(url);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }

  try {
    await LightPath.get(url);

    console.log(e);
  }
}
