Type declaration

  • Optional afterResponse?: AfterResponseHook[]

    This hook enables you to read and optionally modify the response. The hook function receives normalized input, options, and a clone of the response as arguments. The return value of the hook function will be used by Ky as the response object if it's an instance of Response.

    Default

    []
    

    Example

    import ky from 'ky';

    const response = await ky('https://example.com', {
    hooks: {
    afterResponse: [
    (_input, _options, response) => {
    // You could do something with the response, for example, logging.
    log(response);

    // Or return a `Response` instance to overwrite the response.
    return new Response('A different response', {status: 200});
    },

    // Or retry with a fresh token on a 403 error
    async (input, options, response) => {
    if (response.status === 403) {
    // Get a fresh token
    const token = await ky('https://example.com/token').text();

    // Retry with the token
    options.headers.set('Authorization', `token ${token}`);

    return ky(input, options);
    }
    }
    ]
    }
    });
  • Optional beforeError?: BeforeErrorHook[]

    This hook enables you to modify the HTTPError right before it is thrown. The hook function receives a HTTPError as an argument and should return an instance of HTTPError.

    Default

    []
    

    Example

    import ky from 'ky';

    await ky('https://example.com', {
    hooks: {
    beforeError: [
    error => {
    const {response} = error;
    if (response && response.body) {
    error.name = 'GitHubError';
    error.message = `${response.body.message} (${response.status})`;
    }

    return error;
    }
    ]
    }
    });
  • Optional beforeRequest?: BeforeRequestHook[]

    This hook enables you to modify the request right before it is sent. Ky will make no further changes to the request after this. The hook function receives normalized input and options as arguments. You could, forf example, modiy options.headers here.

    A Response can be returned from this hook to completely avoid making a HTTP request. This can be used to mock a request, check an internal cache, etc. An important consideration when returning a Response from this hook is that all the following hooks will be skipped, so ensure you only return a Response from the last hook.

    Default

    []
    
  • Optional beforeRetry?: BeforeRetryHook[]

    This hook enables you to modify the request right before retry. Ky will make no further changes to the request after this. The hook function receives an object with the normalized request and options, an error instance, and the retry count. You could, for example, modify request.headers here.

    If the request received a response, the error will be of type HTTPError and the Response object will be available at error.response. Be aware that some types of errors, such as network errors, inherently mean that a response was not received. In that case, the error will not be an instance of HTTPError.

    You can prevent Ky from retrying the request by throwing an error. Ky will not handle it in any way and the error will be propagated to the request initiator. The rest of the beforeRetry hooks will not be called in this case. Alternatively, you can return the ky.stop symbol to do the same thing but without propagating an error (this has some limitations, see ky.stop docs for details).

    Example

    import ky from 'ky';

    const response = await ky('https://example.com', {
    hooks: {
    beforeRetry: [
    async ({request, options, error, retryCount}) => {
    const token = await ky('https://example.com/refresh-token');
    options.headers.set('Authorization', `token ${token}`);
    }
    ]
    }
    });

    Default
