Generic HTTP Client

GenericHttpClient is a library that provides a simple and flexible way to send HTTP requests using a generic HTTP client. It supports GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests and handles responses with built-in deserialization.

Features

  • Generic HTTP client interface for easy integration
  • Support for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests
  • Automatic deserialization of JSON responses
  • Detailed error handling and response status

Installation

You can install the GenericHttpClient NuGet package using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package GenericHttpClient

Or via the NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package GenericHttpClient

Usage

1. Create an instance of HttpClientWrapper

var httpClientWrapper = new HttpClientWrapper();

2. Create an instance of GenericHttpClient

var genericHttpClient = new GenericHttpClient(httpClientWrapper);

3. Send a request

var url = "https://api.example.com/data";
var response = await genericHttpClient.SendRequestAsync<MyResponseType>(url, HttpRequestType.GET);

if (response.ResponseType == HttpResponseType.Success)
{
    var data = response.Data;
    // Handle success
}
else
{
    // Handle failure
    Console.WriteLine(response.Message);
}

Failure The request failed.
Empty The request succeeded but the response was empty.
Undeserializable The request succeeded but the response could not be deserialized.

Example

Here's an example of sending a POST request with a payload:

var url = "https://api.example.com/data";
var payload = new MyRequestType { Property1 = "value1", Property2 = "value2" };
var response = await genericHttpClient.SendRequestAsync<MyResponseType>(url, HttpRequestType.POST, payload);

if (response.ResponseType == HttpResponseType.Success)
{
    var data = response.Data;

}
else
{
    // Handle failure
    Console.WriteLine(response.Message);
