// HTTP requests
final response = await joshReq(() async => http.get(url));

Core Functions

Function	Purpose	Return Type
joshSync<T>()	Sync operations	StandardResult
joshAsync<T>()	Async operations	Future<StandardResult>
joshReq<T>()	HTTP requests	Future<StandardResponse>

Return Types

class StandardResult {
  final Object? data;           // Result data
  final String? dataType;       // Data type
  final String? errorMessage;   // Error message
  final bool? isSuccess;        // Success status
}

class StandardResponse {
  final int? statusCode;        // HTTP status code
  final String? statusMessage;  // HTTP status message
  final dynamic data;           // Response data
  final String? dataType;       // Data type
  final bool? isSuccess;        // Success status
}

Examples

Basic Usage

// Sync operation
final result = joshSync(
  () => jsonDecode(jsonString),
  logTitle: 'JSON Parsing',
  showErrorLog: true,
