## Features
- Timeouts or self-control context.
- Serialize request body automatically.
- Response body deserialization wrapper.
- Decode the compressed response body automatically.
- Chaining API.
- Request and Response interceptors.
## Installation
> This package requires Go 1.18 and later versions.
You can install this package by the following command.
```sh
go get -u github.com/ghosind/go-request
```
## Getting Started
The is a minimal example of performing a `GET` request:
```go
resp, err := request.Request("https://example.com/products/1")
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
// handle response
```
### `POST` and other requests
You can perform a `POST` request with a request config that set the `Method` field's value to `POST`.
```go
resp, err := request.Request("https://example.com/products", RequestConfig{
Method: "POST",
Body: map[string]any{
"title": "Apple",
},
})
// handle error or response
```
If the `ContentType` field in the request config is empty, the body data will serialize to a JSON string default, and it'll also set the `Content-Type` field value in the request headers to `application/json`.
You can also use `POST` method to perform a `POST` request with the specific body data.
```go
resp, err := request.POST("https://example.com/products", RequestConfig{
Body: map[string]any{
"title": "Apple",
},
})
// handle error or response
```
We also provided the following methods for performing HTTP requests:
- `DELETE`
- `GET`
- `HEAD`
- `OPTIONS`
- `PATCH`
- `POST`
- `PUT`
> The above methods will overwrite the `Method` field in the request config.
### Timeouts
All the requests will set timeout to 1-second default, you can set a custom timeout value in milliseconds to a request:
```go
resp, err := request.Request("https://example.com", request.RequestConfig{
Timeout: 3000, // 3 seconds
})
// handle error or response
```
You can also set `Timeout` to `request.RequestTimeoutNone` to disable the timeout mechanism.
> The timeout will be disabled if you set `Context` in the request config, you need to handle it manually.
### Chaining API
You can also make a request by chaining API:
```go
resp, err := request.Req("http://example.com").
POST().
SetBody(map[string]any{ "title": "Apple" }).
SetTimeout(3000).
Do()
```
### Response body handling
We provided `ToObject` and `ToString` methods to handle response body. For example, the `ToString` method will read all data in the response body, and return it that represented in a string value.
```go
content, resp, err := ToString(request.Request("https://example.com/products/1"))
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
// handle response
```
The `ToObject` method will read the content type of response and deserialize the body to the specific type.
```go
type Product struct {
ID int `json:"id"`
Title string `json:"title"`
}
product, resp, err := ToObject[Product](request.Request("https://example.com/products/1"))
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
// handle response
```
> Both `ToObject` and `ToString` methods will close the `Body` of the response after reading all data.
## Client Instance
You can create a new client instance with a custom config.
```go
cli := request.New(request.Config{
BaseURL: "https://example.com/",
})
resp, err := cli.GET("/products/1")
// handle error or response
```
### Client Instance Config
| Field | Type | Description |
|:-----:|:----:|-------------|
| `BaseURL` | `string` | The base url for all requests that performing by this client instance. |
| `Headers` | `map[string][]string` | Custom headers to be sent. |
| `MaxRedirects` | `int` | The maximum number of redirects for this client, default 5. |
| `Parameters` | `map[string][]string` | Custom query string parameters to be sent. |
| `Timeout` | `int` | Timeout in milliseconds. |
| `UserAgent` | `string` | Custom user agent value. |
| `ValidateStatus` | `func(int) bool` | The function checks whether the status code of the response is valid or not. |
## Request Config
There are the available config options for performing a request, and all fields are optional.
| Field | Type | Description |
|:-----:|:----:|-------------|
| `Auth` | `*BasicAuthConfig` | HTTP Basic Auth config. |
| `BaseURL` | `string` | The base url for this requests. |

| `Headers` | `map[string][]string` | Custom headers to be sent. |
| `MaxRedirects` | `int` | The maximum number of redirects for the request, default 5. |
| `Method` | `string` | HTTP request method, default `GET`. |
| `Parameters` | `map[string][]string` | Custom query string parameters to be sent. |
| `Timeout` | `int` | Timeout in milliseconds. |
