Usage

Making a Request

import "github.com/go-libs/quest"

q, err := quest.Request("GET", "http://httpbin.org/get")

Response Handling

q, err := quest.Request(quest.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
q.
  Response(func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data *bytes.Buffer, e error) {
  log.Println(req)
  log.Println(res)
  log.Println(data)
  log.Println(err)
})

Response Serialization

Built-in Response Methods

• Response(func(*http.Request, *http.Response, *bytes.Buffer, error))
• ResponseBytes(func(*http.Request, *http.Response, []byte, error))
• ResponseString(func(*http.Request, *http.Response, string, error))
• ResponseJSON(f interface{}), f Must be func
  • func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data *JSONStruct, e error)
  • func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data JSONStruct, e error)

Response String Handler

q, _ := quest.Request(quest.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
q.ResponseString(func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data string, e error) {
  log.Println(data)
})

Response JSON Handler

type DataStruct struct {
  Headers map[string]string
  Origin  string
}

q, _ := quest.Request(quest.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
q.ResponseJSON(func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data DataStruct, e error) {
  log.Println(data)
})

q.ResponseJSON(func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data *DataStruct, e error) {
  log.Println(data)
})

Chained Response Handlers

Response handlers can even be chained:

q, _ := quest.Request(quest.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
q.
  ResponseString(func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data string, e error) {
  log.Println(data)
}).
  ResponseJSON(func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data *DataStruct, e error) {
  log.Println(data)
})

HTTP Methods

OPTIONS
GET
HEAD
POST
PUT
PATCH
DELETE
TRACE
CONNECT

Query String

type Options struct {
  Foo string `url:"foo"`
}

q, _ := quest.Request(quest.GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
q.Query(Options{"bar"})
// http://httpbin.org/get?foo=bar

POST Request with JSON-encoded Parameters

type PostParameters struct {
  Foo []int             `json:"foo,omitempty"`
  Bar map[string]string `json:"bar,omitempty"`
}

parameters := PostParameters{
  "foo": []int{1, 2, 3},
  "bar": map[string]string{"baz": "qux"},
}

type DataStruct struct {
  Headers map[string]string
  Origin  string
  Json    PostParameters `json:"json,omitempty"`
}

type OtherDataStruct struct {
  Headers map[string]string
  Origin  string
}

q, _ := quest.Request(quest.POST, "http://httpbin.org/post")
q.Encoding("JSON").
  Parameters(&parameters).
  ResponseJSON(func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data *DataStruct, e error) {
  log.Println(data)
}).
  ResponseJSON(func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data OtherDataStruct, e error) {
  log.Println(data)
})

Downloading

Downloading a File

q, _ := quest.Download(quest.GET, "http://httpbin.org/stream/100", "stream.log")
q.Do()

Downloading a File w/Progress

destination := "tmp/stream.log"
q, _ := quest.Download(quest.GET, "http://httpbin.org/bytes/1024", destination)
q.
  Progress(func(bytesRead, totalBytesRead, totalBytesExpectedToRead int64) {
    log.Println(bytesRead, totalBytesRead, totalBytesExpectedToRead)
  }).Do()

destination, _ := os.Create("tmp/stream2.log")
q, _ := quest.Download(quest.GET, "http://httpbin.org/bytes/10240", destination)
q.
  Progress(func(current, total, expected int64) {
    log.Println(current, total, expected)
  }).Response(func(request *http.Request, response *http.Response, data *bytes.Buffer, err error) {
    log.Println(data.Len())
  })

Uploading

Supported Upload Types

• File
• Data
• Stream

Uploading a File

q, _: = quest.Upload(quest.POST, "http://httpbin.org/post", map[string]string{"stream": "tmp/stream.log"})
q.Do()

Uploading multi files w/Progress

stream2, _ := os.Open("tmp/stream2.log")
stream3 := bytes.NewBufferString(`Hello Quest!`)
data := map[string]interface{}{
  "stream1": "tmp/stream.log",      // filepath or filename
  "stream2": stream2,               // *os.File
  "stream3": stream3,               // io.Reader, filename is fieldname `stream3`
}

q, _ := quest.Upload(quest.POST, "http://httpbin.org/post", data)
q.
  Progress(func(current, total, expected int64) {
    log.Println(current, total, expected)
  }).Response(func(req *http.Request, res *http.Response, data *bytes.Buffer, err error) {
    log.Println(data.Len())
  })

Authenticate

HTTP Basic Authentication

type Auth struct {
  User          string
  Passwd        string
  Authenticated bool
}
user := "user"
passwd := "password"

q, _ := quest.Request(quest.GET, "https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/"+user+"/"+passwd)
q.Authenticate(user, passwd).
  ResponseJSON(func(_ *http.Request, _ *http.Response, data Auth, _ error) {
  log.Println(data)
}).Do()

Timeout

s := time.Duration(3 * time.Second)
q, _ := quest.Request(quest.GET, "https://httpbin.org/delay/5")
q.Timeout(s).Do()

Println & DebugPrintln Request

q, _ := Request(GET, "http://httpbin.org/cookies")
log.Println(q.Println())

c := &http.Cookie{}
c.Name = "k"
c.Value = "v"
q, _ := Request(GET, "http://httpbin.org/cookies")
q.Query(&queryParams)
q.Cookie(c)
log.Println(q.DebugPrintln())

Response Bytes(), String(), JSON(v interface{})

q, _ := Request(GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
b1, err := q.Bytes()
s1, err := q.String()

type DataStruct struct {
  Headers map[string]string
  Origin  string
}

v := DataStruct{}
err := q.JSON(&v)

TLS client config TLSConfig(*tls.Config)

t := &tls.Config{}
q, _ := Request(GET, "http://httpbin.org/get")
q.TLSConfig(t)

Get() Post() Put() Patch() Delete() Short APIs
