--data-urlencode curl to Node.js request or express module - node.js

Question

I am trying to transform this curl command
curl '<url>' -X POST \
--data-urlencode 'To=<phone>' \
--data-urlencode 'From=<phone>' \
--data-urlencode 'Body=<message>' \
-u '<user>:<pass>'
into this Node.js code
var request = require('request');
var options = {
url: 'url',
method: 'POST',
auth: {
'user': 'user',
'pass': 'pass'
}
};
function callback(error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
console.log(body);
}
}
request(options, callback);
I don't get how I can add the --data-urlencode option in the Node.js version of this code.

From curl documentation :
--data-urlencode
(HTTP) This posts data, similar to the other -d, --data options with
the exception that this performs URL-encoding.
So you would use form option to send form URL encoded like this :
var options = {
url: 'url',
method: 'POST',
auth: {
'user': 'user',
'pass': 'pass'
},
form: {
To: 'phone',
From: 'phone',
Body: 'message'
},
headers: {
'Accept': '*/*'
}
};
Note that you can use request-debug to show the actual request where you could check that body is :
To=phone&From=phone&Body=message
And to show the actual data sent by curl use as stated here, use --trace-ascii /dev/stdout :
curl '<url>' -X POST --data-urlencode "Body=<message>" -u <user>:<pass> --trace-ascii /dev/stdout
