import { Httpx } from 'https://jslib.k6.io/httpx/0.1.0/index.js';

const session = new Httpx({
  baseURL: 'https://httpbin.test.k6.io',
  timeout: 20000, // 20s timeout.
});

export default async function testSuite() {
  const resp_get = await session.asyncRequest('GET', `/status/200`);
  const resp_post = await session.asyncRequest('POST', `/status/200`, { key: 'value' });
  const resp_put = await session.asyncRequest('PUT', `/status/200`, { key: 'value' });
  const resp_patch = await session.asyncRequest('PATCH', `/status/200`, { key: 'value' });
  const resp_delete = await session.asyncRequest('DELETE', `/status/200`);

  // specific methods are also available.
  const respGet = await session.asyncGet(`/status/200`);
  const respPost = await session.asyncPost(`/status/200`, { key: 'value' });
  const respPut = await session.asyncPut(`/status/200`, { key: 'value' });
  const respPatch = await session.asyncPatch(`/status/200`, { key: 'value' });
  const respDelete = await session.asyncDelete(`/status/200`);
