Easily make Node http requests with built in http and Promises module

demo.js

var http = require('http');

function make_request(options, payload) {
  return new Promise(function(resolve,reject) {
    if(payload) options.method = 'POST'; else options.method = 'GET';
    var request = http.request(options,function(response) {
      var str = '';
      response.on('error', function() { reject('Error'); } )
      response.on('data', function (chunk) { str += chunk; })
      response.on('end', function () { resolve(JSON.parse(str));})
    });
    if(payload) {
      request.setHeader('Content-Type','application/json');
      request.write(JSON.stringify(payload));
    }
    request.end();
  });
}

resource = {
  host : 'jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',
  path : '/posts'
}
make_request(resource,{ userId : 1, title : 'wut?'} ).then(function(postreply) {
  console.log(postreply);
  make_request( resource ).then(function(getreply) {
      console.log(getreply);
  })
})
