Question

What I would like to do is this curl operation in node.js.

curl -XPOST localhost:12060/repository/schema/fieldType -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '
{
  action: "create",
  fieldType: {
    name: "n$name",
    valueType: { primitive: "STRING" },
    scope: "versioned",
    namespaces: { "my.demo": "n" }
  }
}' -D -

Suggestions are appreciated.

Use request. request is the de-facto standard way to make HTTP requests from node.js. It’s a thin abstraction on top of http.request

request({
  uri: "localhost:12060/repository/schema/fieldType",
  method: "POST",
  json: {
    action: "create",
    fieldType: {
      name: "n$name",
      valueType: { primitive: "STRING" },
      scope: "versioned",
      namespaces: { "my.demo": "n" }
    }
  }
});
