HTTP Client

Overview

HTTP Client is a library to send HTTP requests, which supports the following functions：

1. Content-Type auto-recognition, only supported application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded
2. Support auto fill path arguments to url
3. Support to fill header in structure to the HTML request header

Request Example

GET, POST Form Requests

Get and Post form requests are used in the same way. Only fields in the structure need to be marked as form

type Request struct {
    Node   string `path:"node"`
    ID     int    `form:"id"`
    Header string `header:"X-Header"`
}

var domain = flag.String("domain", "http://localhost:3333", "the domain to request")

func main() {
    flag.Parse()

    req := types.Request{
        Node:   "foo",
        ID:     1024,
        Header: "foo-header",
    }
    resp, err := httpc.Do(context.Background(), http.MethodGet, *domain+"/nodes/:node", req)
    // resp, err := httpc.Do(context.Background(), http.MethodPost, *domain+"/nodes/:node", req)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    io.Copy(os.Stdout, resp.Body)
}

The above is equivalent to the following curl:

# get
curl --location 'http://localhost:3333/nodes/foo?id=1024' \
--header 'X-Header: foo-header'

# post
curl --location 'http://localhost:3333/nodes/foo' \
--header 'X-Header: foo-header' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'id=1024'

POST Json request

Post Json requests are used in the same way. Just label the fields in the structure as json.

type Request struct {
    Node   string `path:"node"`
    Foo    string `json:"foo"`
    Bar    string `json:"bar"`
    Header string `header:"X-Header"`
}

var domain = flag.String("domain", "http://localhost:3333", "the domain to request")

func main() {
    flag.Parse()

    req := types.Request{
        Node:   "foo",
        Header: "foo-header",
        Foo:    "foo",
        Bar:    "bar",
    }
    resp, err := httpc.Do(context.Background(), http.MethodPost, *domain+"/nodes/:node", req)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    io.Copy(os.Stdout, resp.Body)
}

The above request is equivalent to the following curl：

curl --location 'http://localhost:3333/nodes/foo' \
--header 'X-Header: foo-header' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "foo":"foo",
    "bar":"bar"
}'
