# RestClient for Unity 🤘
This **HTTP/REST** Client is based on Promises to avoid the [Callback Hell](http://callbackhell.com/) ☠️ and the [Pyramid of doom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_doom_(programming)) 💩 working with **Coroutines** in **Unity** 🎮, example:
```csharp
var api = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com";
RestClient.GetArray(api + "/posts", (err, res) => {
RestClient.GetArray(api + "/todos", (errTodos, resTodos) => {
RestClient.GetArray(api + "/users", (errUsers, resUsers) => {
//Missing validations to catch errors!
});
});
});
```
But working with **Promises** we can improve our code, yay! 👏
```csharp
RestClient.GetArray(api + "/posts").Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog ("Success", JsonHelper.ArrayToJson(response, true), "Ok");
return RestClient.GetArray(api + "/todos");
}).Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog ("Success", JsonHelper.ArrayToJson(response, true), "Ok");
return RestClient.GetArray(api + "/users");
}).Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog ("Success", JsonHelper.ArrayToJson(response, true), "Ok");
}).Catch(err => EditorUtility.DisplayDialog ("Error", err.Message, "Ok"));
```
## Features 🎮

## Demo ⏯
Do you want to see this beautiful package in action? Download the demo [here](https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https://github.com/proyecto26/RestClient/tree/master/demo)
## Installation 👨💻
### Unity package
Download and install the **.unitypackage** file of the latest release published [here](https://github.com/proyecto26/RestClient/releases).
### UPM package
Make sure you had installed [C# Promise package](https://openupm.com/packages/com.rsg.promise/) or at least have it in your [openupm scope registry](https://openupm.com/). Then install **RestClient package** using this URL from **Package Manager**: `https://github.com/proyecto26/RestClient.git#upm`
### NuGet package
Other option is download this package from **NuGet** with **Visual Studio** or using the **nuget-cli**, a **[NuGet.config](https://github.com/proyecto26/RestClient/blob/master/demo/NuGet.config)** file is required at the root of your **Unity Project**, for example:
```xml
```
The package to search for is **[Proyecto26.RestClient](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Proyecto26.RestClient/)**.
## Getting Started 📚
The default methods **(GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD)** are:
```csharp
RestClient.Get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1").Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Response", response.Text, "Ok");
});
RestClient.Post("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", newPost).Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Status", response.StatusCode.ToString(), "Ok");
});
RestClient.Put("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1", updatedPost).Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Status", response.StatusCode.ToString(), "Ok");
});
RestClient.Delete("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1").Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Status", response.StatusCode.ToString(), "Ok");
});
RestClient.Head("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts").Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Status", response.StatusCode.ToString(), "Ok");
});
```
## Handling during scene transition
```csharp
ExecuteOnMainThread.RunOnMainThread.Enqueue(() => {
//Any API call using RestClient
});
```
### Generic Request Method
And we have a generic method to create any type of request:
```csharp
RestClient.Request(new RequestHelper {
Uri = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/photos",
Method = "POST",
Timeout = 10,
Params = new Dictionary {
{ "param1", "Query string param..." }
},
Headers = new Dictionary {
{ "Authorization", "Bearer JWT_token..." }
},
Body = newPhoto, //Serialize object using JsonUtility by default
BodyString = SerializeObject(newPhoto), //Use it instead of 'Body' to serialize using other tools
BodyRaw = CompressToRawData(newPhoto), //Use it instead of 'Body' to send raw data directly
FormData = new WWWForm(), //Send files, etc with POST requests
SimpleForm = new Dictionary {}, //Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
FormSections = new List() {}, //Content-Type: multipart/form-data
CertificateHandler = new CustomCertificateHandler(), //Create custom certificates
UploadHandler = new UploadHandlerRaw(bytes), //Send bytes directly if it's required
DownloadHandler = new DownloadHandlerFile(destPah), //Download large files
ContentType = "application/json", //JSON is used by default
Retries = 3, //Number of retries
RetrySecondsDelay = 2, //Seconds of delay to make a retry
RetryCallbackOnlyOnNetworkErrors = true, //Invoke RetryCallack only when the retry is provoked by a network error
RetryCallback = (err, retries) => {}, //See the error before retrying the request
ProgressCallback = (percent) => {}, //Reports progress of the request from 0 to 1
EnableDebug = true, //See logs of the requests for debug mode
IgnoreHttpException = true, //Prevent to catch http exceptions
ChunkedTransfer = false,
UseHttpContinue = true,
RedirectLimit = 32,
DefaultContentType = false, //Disable JSON content type by default
ParseResponseBody = false //Don't encode and parse downloaded data as JSON
}).Then(response => {
//Get resources via downloadHandler to get more control!
Texture texture = ((DownloadHandlerTexture)response.Request.downloadHandler).texture;
AudioClip audioClip = ((DownloadHandlerAudioClip)response.Request.downloadHandler).audioClip;
AssetBundle assetBundle = ((DownloadHandlerAssetBundle)response.Request.downloadHandler).assetBundle;
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Status", response.StatusCode.ToString(), "Ok");
}).Catch(err => {
var error = err as RequestException;
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Error Response", error.Response, "Ok");
});
```
- Example downloading an audio file:
```csharp
var fileUrl = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IonDen/ion.sound/master/sounds/bell_ring.ogg";
var fileType = AudioType.OGGVORBIS;
RestClient.Get(new RequestHelper {
Uri = fileUrl,
DownloadHandler = new DownloadHandlerAudioClip(fileUrl, fileType)
}).Then(res => {
AudioSource audio = GetComponent();
audio.clip = ((DownloadHandlerAudioClip)res.Request.downloadHandler).audioClip;
audio.Play();
}).Catch(err => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog ("Error", err.Message, "Ok");
});
```
With all the methods we have the possibility to indicate the type of response, in the following example we're going to create a class and the **HTTP** requests to load **JSON** data easily:
```csharp
[Serializable]
public class User
{
public int id;
public string name;
public string username;
public string email;
public string phone;
public string website;
}
```
* **GET JSON**
```csharp
var usersRoute = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users";
RestClient.Get(usersRoute + "/1").Then(firstUser => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("JSON", JsonUtility.ToJson(firstUser, true), "Ok");
});
```
* **GET Array (JsonHelper is an extension to manage arrays)**
```csharp
RestClient.GetArray(usersRoute).Then(allUsers => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("JSON Array", JsonHelper.ArrayToJsonString(allUsers, true), "Ok");
});
```
Also we can create different classes for custom responses:
```csharp
[Serializable]
public class CustomResponse
{
public int id;
}
```
* **POST**
```csharp
RestClient.Post(usersRoute, newUser).Then(customResponse => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("JSON", JsonUtility.ToJson(customResponse, true), "Ok");
});
```
* **PUT**
```csharp
RestClient.Put(usersRoute + "/1", updatedUser).Then(customResponse => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("JSON", JsonUtility.ToJson(customResponse, true), "Ok");
});
```
## Custom HTTP Headers, Params and Options 💥
**HTTP Headers**, such as `Authorization`, can be set in the **DefaultRequestHeaders** object for all requests
```csharp
RestClient.DefaultRequestHeaders["Authorization"] = "Bearer ...";
```
**Query string params** can be set in the **DefaultRequestParams** object for all requests
```csharp
RestClient.DefaultRequestParams["param1"] = "Query string value...";
```
Also we can add specific options and override default headers and params for a request
```csharp
var currentRequest = new RequestHelper {
Uri = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/photos",
Headers = new Dictionary {
{ "Authorization", "Other token..." }
},
Params = new Dictionary {
{ "param1", "Other value..." }
}
};
RestClient.GetArray(currentRequest).Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Header", currentRequest.GetHeader("Authorization"), "Ok");
});
```
And we can know the status of the request and cancel it!
```csharp
currentRequest.UploadProgress; //The progress by uploading data to the server
currentRequest.UploadedBytes; //The number of bytes of body data the system has uploaded
currentRequest.DownloadProgress; //The progress by downloading data from the server
currentRequest.DownloadedBytes; //The number of bytes of body data the system has downloaded
currentRequest.Abort(); //Abort the request manually
```
Additionally we can run a callback function whenever a progress change happens!
```csharp
RestClient.Get(new RequestHelper {
Uri = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users",
ProgressCallback = percent => Debug.Log(percent)
});
```
Later we can clear the default headers and params for all requests
```csharp
RestClient.ClearDefaultHeaders();
RestClient.ClearDefaultParams();
```
### Example
- Unity as Client
```csharp
[Serializable]
public class ServerResponse {
public string id;
public string date; //DateTime is not supported by JsonUtility
}
[Serializable]
public class User {
public string firstName;
public string lastName;
}
RestClient.Post("www.api.com/endpoint", new User {
firstName = "Juan David",
lastName = "Nicholls Cardona"
}).Then(response => {
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("ID: ", response.id, "Ok");
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Date: ", response.date, "Ok");
});
```
- NodeJS as Backend (Using [Express](http://expressjs.com/es/starter/hello-world.html))
```js
router.post('/', function(req, res) {
console.log(req.body.firstName)
res.json({
id: 123,
date: new Date()
})
});
```
