nui_web 0.0.22

A new Flutter package for web/API calling

---

id: flutter-sdk-nuiweb title: NUIWeb Overview sidebar_label: Overview

NUIWeb is part of the Flutter SDK that allows you to integrate HTTP calls into the app in a simpler way:

• Generalized Base URL - Specify the base URL during the builder method for the app and start calling the HTTP methods by only specifying the path

• Generalized Headers - Specify the common headers and they be auto-injected into all the HTTP calls made throughout the app.

• Customizable Error Message - All HTTP errors are caught automatically and a standard response with the error code and message are returned. Customize the error messages for different HTTP error codes.

• Pre/Post HTTP Handling - Add additional processing to the response before and after the HTTP callback is made.

Builder Method for NUIWeb

Method	Remark
module()	Specify the module of this NUIWeb instance.
baseURL()	Specify the base URL of this instance.
headers()	Specify the common headers for this instance.
statusMessages()	Customize the messages for different HTTP status code.
preHandler()	Add additional pre-processing to the response.
postHandler()	Add additional post-processing to the response.
build()	Build the NUIWeb instance with the specified module.

Initialize NUIWeb with NUIWebBuilder.

Create a NUIWebBuilder instance to build NUIWeb instance.

var web = NUIWebBuilder();

Specifying the module for NUIWeb.

On the builder method, users can specify the module of the NUIWeb instance to have multiple NUIWeb instance for the app.

builder.module("hintv2");

Specifying the base URL for NUIWeb.

On the builder method, users can specify the base URL of the NUIWeb instance so that this url is used throughout all the HTTP calls for this NUIWeb instance.

builder.module("https://uathintv2.honda.net.my/hint-api/");

Specifying the common headers for NUIWeb.

On the builder method, users can specify the common headers so that these headers are automatically added to all the HTTP calls for this NUIWeb instance.

builder.headers(() => {
      "authorization" : "Bearer aasdjfhajsdfkjhkahs",
    });

• Parameters:

  Name	Type	Nullable	Remark
  headers	HttpHeaderSetter	N	A callback to obtain the headers in Map<String, String> format

Specifying customized HTTP code messages.

On the builder method, users can specify custom messages for different HTTP codes to all the HTTP calls for this NUIWeb instance.

builder.statusMessages({
    401: "Oops, you are unauthorized to access this resource",
    404: "Oops, the server is temporarily down for maintenance"
});

Adding the Pre/Post-Response Handler

Users can add a pre-response or post-response handler to handle additional tasks before returning the response in the callback.

builder.preHandler((response) { 
  //Todo what you want here
});

builder.postHandler((response) { 
  //Todo what you want here
}, delay: Duration(milliseconds: 500));

• Parameters:

  Name	Type	Nullable	Remark
  handler	HttpAdditionalHandler	N	A callback to handle the response
  delay	Duration	Y	The duration of delay for post handler

Build the NUIWeb instance

Once all the customizations for this NUIWeb is done, building the instance with NUIWebBuilder will return the instance of the NUIWeb.

final web = builder.build();

A Complete Example for Building A NUIWeb Instance

final web = NUIWebBuilder()
        .module("app")
        .headers(() => {
          "authorization": "Bearer token here",
          "x-tenant-id": "My Tenant Id"
        })
        .baseURL("http://143.192.96.7:8080")
        .statusMessages({
          404 : "Oops, this page you're looking for is not found",
          500: "Oops, seems like something went wrong"
        })
        .build();

Available Methods for NUIWeb
