Tolitech.HttpClients 1.0.0-preview.1

Tolitech.HttpClients.Abstractions

Tolitech.HttpClients.Abstractions provides contracts and abstractions to facilitate the creation of HTTP clients. It defines the necessary interfaces to build and consume HTTP APIs in a consistent and extensible way.

Features

• Defines fundamental interfaces for HTTP operations:
  • IHttpClient: Marks classes that represent HTTP clients.
  • IRequest: Base contract for request objects sent to an HTTP endpoint.
  • IResponse: Base contract for response objects received from an HTTP endpoint.

Purpose

This project serves as a foundation for standardizing HTTP communication in applications, allowing simplified integration with concrete implementations of HTTP clients.

Usage

Implement the provided interfaces to create custom request and response structures. A simple example:

public class MyRequest : IRequest
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

public class MyResponse : IResponse
{
    public string Message { get; set; }
}

Tolitech.HttpClients

Tolitech.HttpClients is a practical implementation of an HTTP client based on the abstractions provided by Tolitech.HttpClients.Abstractions. This project contains the base class BaseHttpClient, which offers methods for performing HTTP operations such as GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.

Features

• Generic implementation for HTTP clients.
• Built-in support for JSON requests and responses.
• Header management and response validation.
• Direct integration with the contracts from Tolitech.HttpClients.Abstractions.

Main Class

BaseHttpClient

BaseHttpClient provides methods such as:

• GetAsync<TResponse>(): Performs an HTTP GET request.
• PostAsync<TRequest, TResponse>(): Performs an HTTP POST request.
• PutAsync<TRequest, TResponse>(): Performs an HTTP PUT request.
• PatchAsync<TRequest, TResponse>(): Performs an HTTP PATCH request.
• DeleteAsync<TResponse>(): Performs an HTTP DELETE request.

Example Usage

public class MyHttpClient : BaseHttpClient
{
    public MyHttpClient(HttpClient httpClient) : base(httpClient) { }

    public async Task<Result<MyResponse>> GetMessageAsync(string url)
    {
        return await GetAsync<MyResponse>(url);
    }
}

How to Use

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
var service = new MyHttpClient(client);

var result = await service.GetMessageAsync("https://api.example.com/message");

if (result.IsSuccess)
{
    Console.WriteLine(result.Value.Message);
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Error: {result.Detail}");
}
