http_base_client 1.2.1

A minimalistic http client wrapped around the dart HTTP package.

A minimalistic http client.

Features

This package simplifies http requests, making it really easy and simple.

NOTE: Since dart:io and Socket connections are not supported in web browsers, the checkInternetConnection getter will ALWAYS return true when the code is compiled to JavaScript (Web). For all other platforms (Mobile and Desktop), the socket-based connection check remains fully functional.

Usage

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'package:http_base_client/http_base_client.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
