RextHttpClient 1.0.23

RextHttpClient

------------ : REXT HTTP CLIENT : ------------

Simple HttpClient wrapper to speed up your Http task. Safely handles request with JSON, XML and Form Data.

Basic Usage

All basic API operations have been made available for quick access via IRextHttpClient. If you wish to make a direct call and handle deserialization yourself, then call _rext.MakeRequest method.

IRextHttpClient _rext = new RextHttpClient(); // create new instance via new or DI

Make http call with result deserialized to object.

string url = "http://myapp.com/api/employee/getemployee";
var rsp = await _rext.GetJSON<@Person>(url); // download json
var rsp = await _rext.GetXML<@Person>(url); // download xml
var rsp = await _rext.GetString(url); // download string

Console.WriteLine($"{rsp.StatusCode} - {rsp.Message} - 
Duration: {_rext.Stopwatch?.ElapsedMilliseconds}ms"); // get duration of http call
Console.WriteLine(rsp?.Data); // get deserialized result as object

All Rext methods for http call have overloads for adding more options to suit your need. You supply a type of T and the result from the call is deserialized into it. To retrieve the result you have to check if the call was successful with _rext.IsSuccess, if the value is true then access the data with _rext.Data.

Note: Only successful responses (200) are deserialized by default. to allow deserialization for all response types, set RextOptions.DeserializeSuccessResponseOnly = false or from the global configuration section
