How to always add prefix to url in Node.js request

I'm using the package "request" (https://www.npmjs.com/package/request) in Node.js. What I want to have is somehow like the "defaults" api, that I give a default url prefix to the request object, the url of any request which sent from my request object will be prefixed before sending. Is that possible? Thank you!

You can use request.defaults

const request = require('request');

const baseRequest = request.defaults({baseUrl : 'https://example.com/api/'}})

now use baseRequest object

You can create a default request instance, in there config you baseUrl

    var request = require('request');

    var r = request.defaults({
      baseUrl: 'https://example.com/api/',
    })

    r({
      'url':'/end/point?test=true',
      'method': "GET",
    },function (error, response, body) {
      if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
        console.log(body);
      }
    }); // will fetch https://example.com/api/end/point?test=true
