post method

Future<Map<String, dynamic>?> post(Resource resource, { String decrypter(String ciphertext)?, bool refreshOriginals = true, })

Fetch the given resource from this bridge.

decrypter When the old tokens are read from local storage, they are decrypted. This parameter allows you to provide your own decryption method. This will be used in addition to the default decryption method. This will be performed after the default decryption method.

If the POST request is successful, then the original values in resource will be refreshed and set to their current values. To disable this behavior, set refreshOriginals to false.

Will return null if:

• The resource does not exist on this bridge
• This bridge does not have an IP address
• This bridge does not have an application key
• The resource does not have any data to POST
• Any other unforeseen error

Implementation

Future<Map<String, dynamic>?> post(
  Resource resource, {
  String Function(String ciphertext)? decrypter,
  bool refreshOriginals = true,
}) async {
  if (ipAddress == null) return null;
  if (applicationKey == null) return null;

  final Map<String, dynamic> resourceJson =
      resource.toJson(optimizeFor: OptimizeFor.post);

  if (resourceJson.isEmpty) return null;

  String body = JsonTool.writeJson(resourceJson);

  try {
    Map<String, dynamic>? result = await HueHttpRepo.post(
      bridgeIpAddr: ipAddress!,
      pathToResource: resource.id,
      applicationKey: applicationKey!,
      resourceType: resource.type,
      body: body,
      decrypter: decrypter,
    );

    if (result == null) return null;

    if (result[ApiFields.errors] == null ||
        (result[ApiFields.errors] as List<dynamic>).isEmpty) {
      resource.refreshOriginals();
    }

    return result;
  } catch (_) {
    return null;
  }
}
