nodejs - How to promisify http.request? reject got

问题:

I'm trying to wrap http.request into Promise:

 new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    var req = http.request({
        host: '127.0.0.1',
        port: 4000,
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/api/v1/service'
    }, function(res) {
        if (res.statusCode < 200 || res.statusCode >= 300) {
            // First reject
            reject(new Error('statusCode=' + res.statusCode));
            return;
        }
        var body = [];
        res.on('data', function(chunk) {
            body.push(chunk);
        });
        res.on('end', function() {
            try {
                body = JSON.parse(Buffer.concat(body).toString());
            } catch(e) {
                reject(e);
                return;
            }
            resolve(body);
        });
    });
    req.on('error', function(err) {
        // Second reject
        reject(err);
    });
    req.write('test');
}).then(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
}).catch(function(err) {
    console.log(err);
});

If I recieve errornous statusCode from remote server it will call First reject and after a bit of time Second reject. How to make properly so it calls only single reject (I think First reject is proper one in this case)? I think I need to close res myself, but there is no close() method on ClientResponse object.

UPD: Second reject triggers very rarely - why?

Your code is almost fine. To restate a little, you want a function that wraps http.request with this form:

function httpRequest(params, postData) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        var req = http.request(params, function(res) {
            // on bad status, reject
            // on response data, cumulate it
            // on end, parse and resolve
        });
        // on request error, reject
        // if there's post data, write it to the request
        // important: end the request req.end()
    });
}

Notice the addition of params and postData so this can be used as a general purpose request. And notice the last line req.end() -- which must always be called -- was missing from the OP code.

Applying those couple changes to the OP code...

function httpRequest(params, postData) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        var req = http.request(params, function(res) {
            // reject on bad status
            if (res.statusCode < 200 || res.statusCode >= 300) {
                return reject(new Error('statusCode=' + res.statusCode));
            }
            // cumulate data
            var body = [];
            res.on('data', function(chunk) {
                body.push(chunk);
            });
            // resolve on end
            res.on('end', function() {
                try {
                    body = JSON.parse(Buffer.concat(body).toString());
                } catch(e) {
                    reject(e);
                }
                resolve(body);
            });
        });
        // reject on request error
        req.on('error', function(err) {
            // This is not a "Second reject", just a different sort of failure
            reject(err);
        });
        if (postData) {
            req.write(postData);
        }
        // IMPORTANT
        req.end();
    });
}

This is untested, but it should work fine...

var params = {
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 4000,
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/api/v1/service'
};
// this is a get, so there's no post data

httpRequest(params).then(function(body) {
    console.log(body);
});

And these promises can be chained, too...

httpRequest(params).then(function(body) {
    console.log(body);
    return httpRequest(otherParams);
}).then(function(body) {
    console.log(body);
    // and so on
});

It's easier for you to use bluebird api, you can promisify request module and use the request function async as a promise itself, or you have the option of using the module request-promise, that makes you to not working to creating a promise but using and object that already encapsulates the module using promise, here's an example:

var rp = require('request-promise');

rp({host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 4000,
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/api/v1/service'})
    .then(function (parsedBody) {
        // GET succeeded... 
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
        // GET failed... 
    });
