Research direction

The reproduction is in index.js, with the dependency pinned in package.json to httpsnippet ^2.0.0. Start by running node index.js and checking the value exported by the package; done means the shown HTTPSnippet initialization succeeds and produces the requested curl output.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The library is not getting instantiated, Created a basic node project and trying to instantiate the library. Does not work.

index.js

const HTTPSnippet = require('httpsnippet').HTTPSnippet

const snippet = new HTTPSnippet({
    method: 'GET',
    url: 'http://mockbin.com/request',
});

const options = { indent: '\t' };
const output = snippet.convert('shell', 'curl', options);
console.log(output);
