Set parsing of body to true by default

[Adrian Lynch]

Can I get a check sanity check on my usage here?

I want to default all requests to parse the body as JSON by setting the the option in the defaults like so:

var request = require("request");

request.defaults({

json: true // Seems to be ignored

});

request({

url: "http://a.place.where.json.lives",

//json: true // Seems to be needed

}, function(err, res, body) {

console.log(body);

console.log(body.accessToken);

});

Body doesn't get parsed.

If I add it to the actual request options object, it does.

Am I misusing defaults() in some way?

Thanks.

as you can see here: https://github.com/mikeal/request#requestdefaultsoptions defaults actually returns a new request object with your set defaults. so if you want to use it this way you have to do so:

var request = require("request");

var defaultRequest = request.defaults({

json: true // Seems to be ignored

});

defaultRequest({

url: "http://a.place.where.json.lives"

}, function(err, res, body) {

console.log(body);

console.log(body.accessToken);

});

Thanks G!

I'd read this line more than once but it didn't sink in:

"This method *returns a wrapper* around the normal request API that defaults to whatever options you pass in to it."
