Javascript curl equivalent

Question

I have a spring-boot application up and running, with actuator endpoints configured mainly the /shutdown endpoint. I've been shutting it down (previously) with ^C and now am shutting down with curl -XPOST https://address:port/shutdown. My question is how would I map a command like that to a javascript function so I can shutdown the application with the click of a button?

Answer 1

There is no way to execute curl command using javascript function so better use AJAX.

See below threads.

Otherwise you can use java code to make it shutdown like below.

Answer 2

By using Fetch ?

const myPost = async (postBody) => {
  const rawResponse = await fetch('https://address:port/shutdown', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Accept': 'application/json',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(postBody)
  });
  const response = await rawResponse.json();
  console.log(response);
);
