SweetMeSoft.Connectivity 1.10.130

SweetMeSoft.Connectivity

Library to simplify and standardize requests to APIs and web services.

Description

SweetMeSoft.Connectivity is a library for .NET Standard 2.1 that provides an ApiReq class as a wrapper over HttpClient. Its goal is to facilitate making HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), handling different content types, cookie management and response deserialization in a structured and reusable way.

Features

• HttpClient Wrapper: Abstracts the complexity of HttpClient into a simpler API.
• HTTP Methods Support: Implements GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.
• Content Handling: Supports application/json, application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data.
• Generic Classes: Uses GenericReq<T> for requests and GenericRes<T> for responses, allowing strong typing.
• Cookie Management: Automatically manages cookies between requests.
• File Download: Includes a DownloadFile method to get files as a StreamFile.
• Singleton Pattern: Provides a single instance through ApiReq.Instance for easy access.

Dependencies

• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client
• Newtonsoft.Json
• SweetMeSoft.Base

Installation

dotnet add package SweetMeSoft.Connectivity

Usage

The library is used through the singleton instance ApiReq.Instance.

GenericReq<T>: The Request

This object is used to configure all request details.

GenericRes<T>: The Response

This object contains the request result.

Example: GET Request

// Define the expected response model
public class User
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

// Make the request
var response = await ApiReq.Instance.Get<User>("https://api.example.com/users/1");

if (response.IsSuccess)
{
    User user = response.Object;
    // ... use the 'user' object
}
else
{
    // ... handle the error with response.Error
}

Example: POST Request

// Define the request model
public class CreateUserInput
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
}

// Define the response model
public class CreateUserOutput
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string CreatedAt { get; set; }
}

// Prepare the request
var requestData = new CreateUserInput { Name = "John Doe", Email = "john.doe@example.com" };
var request = new GenericReq<CreateUserInput>
{
    Url = "https://api.example.com/users",
    Data = requestData,
    HeaderType = HeaderType.json // or xwwwunlercoded, formdata
};

// Make the request
var response = await ApiReq.Instance.Post<CreateUserInput, CreateUserOutput>(request);

if (response.IsSuccess)
{
    CreateUserOutput newUser = response.Object;
    // ...
}
