request

A minimal abstraction of the 'http' package's 'get' and 'post' methods that automatically throws an exception when any non-200 status code is returned.

Usage

import 'package:request/request.dart' as http;

Like http, request exposes the get and post methods, which directly wrap http's equivalent methods, but throw a HttpStatusException when any status other than 200 is returned.

final response = await http.get(uri);

final reponse = await http.post(uri);

Additionally, request exposes the request method, which wraps get and returns the response's body as a String. Like get and post, an exception will be thrown when any status other than 200 is returned.

final body = await http.request(uri);

Uri Extension Methods

get, post, and request are also available as extension methods on Dart's Uri object.

final url = Uri.parse('https://pub.dev/packages/request');
final body = await url.request();

HttpStatusException

Returned HttpStatusExceptions contain the original response, and has getters for the requested url, statusCode and message.

message defaults to response.reasonPhrase, and if null, falls back to the standard status code phrases as defined by the W3C.
