Simple and hackable request for dart.

Installing

1. Add dependencies to pubspec.yaml

   dependencies:
       hequest:
           git:
               url: https://github.com/teixeirazeus/hequest
   

2. Run pub get.

   flutter pub get
   

3. Import package.

   import 'package:hequest/hequest.dart';
   

Using

Hequest was created with simplicity in mind to handle multiple API requests.

You start by declaring an object of type Hequest and passing the baseUrl of your api.

final githubApi = Hequest(baseUrl: 'https://api.github.com');

GET

final response = await githubApi.get('/users/teixeirazeus');

POST

final response = await githubApi.post('/users/teixeirazeus', body: {
    'name': 'Zeus Teixeira',
    });

PUT

final response = await githubApi.put('/users/teixeirazeus', body: {
    'name': 'Zeus Teixeira',
    });

DELETE

final response = await githubApi.delete('/users/teixeirazeus');

JWT

All requests support sending jwt token.

To use to use the WithToken postfix and pass the token as a parameter.

final response = await githubApi.getWithToken('/users/teixeirazeus', token);

Tips

It is highly recommended that you use try catch to handle errors. Along with a larger abstraction with a class for each endpoint of your api.

class GithubApi {
  final Hequest _hequest;

  GithubApi(this._hequest);

  Future<Map> getUser(String username) async {
    try {
      final response = await _hequest.get('/users/$username');
      if (response.statusCode == 200) {
        return json.decode(response.body);
      } else if (response.statusCode == 404) {
        throw Exception('User not found');
      } else {
        throw Exception('Failed to load user');
      }
    } catch (e) {
      throw Exception('Error getting user');
    }
  }
}

final hequest = Hequest(baseUrl: 'https://api.github.com');
final githubApi = GithubApi(hequest);

final user = await githubApi.getUser('teixeirazeus');
print(user.toString());
