How to set request method dynamically?

I am currently achieving this by initializing the request then modifying the method before sending. Something like this:

```javascript
const request = chai.request(app)
  .get(url)
  .set('Authorization', bearerToken);
request.method = newMethod;

const response = await request.send(data);
```

I am wondering if there is a better way to go about this.

Thank you
