unirest.post is not a function

Question

I am trying to call my api through Node.js using Unirest.

I am getting an error which is :

unirest.post is not a function

My code is as follows:

var unirest = require(['unirest'], function (unirest) { });
unirest.post('http://localhost:8080/country')
  .headers({ 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' })
  .send(json_query)
  .end(function (response) {
    alert(response.body);
  });

Can someone explain me why does it occur?

Answer 1

OK. So, with the additional information, you need to use async imports as per link you provided:

require(['foo'], function (foo) {
    // foo is available here...
});
// foo isn't available here

And in your specific case,

require(['unirest'], function (unirest) {
    unirest.post('http://localhost:8080/country') // etc.
});
