A type for chaining request configuration

Construct a url using String, String key value pairs for the query string. See Http.url.

googleUrl =
    url "https://google.com" [("q", "elm")]

Start building a GET request with a given URL

get "https://example.com/api/items/1"

Start building a POST request with a given URL

post "https://example.com/api/items"

Start building a PUT request with a given URL

post "https://example.com/api/items/1"

Start building a PATCH request with a given URL

patch "https://example.com/api/items/1"

Start building a DELETE request with a given URL

delete "https://example.com/api/items/1"

Add a single header to a request

get "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withHeader "Content-Type" "application/json"

Add many headers to a request

get "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withHeaders [("Content-Type", "application/json"), ("Accept", "application/json")]

Add a body to a request for requests that allow bodies.

post "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withHeader "Content-Type" "application/json"
    |> withBody (Http.string """{ "sortBy": "coolness", "take": 10 }""")

Convenience function for adding a string body to a request

post "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withHeader "Content-Type" "application/json"
    |> withStringBody """{ "sortBy": "coolness", "take": 10 }"""

Convenience function for adding a JSON body to a request

params = Json.Encode.object
    [ ("sortBy", Json.Encode.string "coolness")
    , ("take", Json.Encode.int 10)
    ]


post "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withHeader "Content-Type" "application/json"
    |> withJsonBody params

Convenience function for adding a multiplart body to a request

post "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withMultipartBody [Http.stringData "user" (JS.encode user)]

Convience function for adding multipart bodies composed of String, String key-value pairs. Since Http.stringData is currently the only Http.Data creator having this function removes the need to use the Http.Data type in your type signatures.

post "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withMultipartStringBody [("user", JS.encode user)]

Convenience function for adding url encoded bodies

post "https://example.com/api/whatever"
    |> withUrlEncodedBody [("user", "Evan"), ("pwd", "secret")]

Set the timeout setting on the request

get "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withTimeout (10 * Time.second)

Set the onStart setting on the request

get "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withStartHandler (onStartTask)

Set the onProgress setting on the request

get "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withProgressHandler (onProgressHandler)

Set the desired type of the response for the request, works via [XMLHttpRequest#overrideMimeType()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest#overrideMimeType())

get "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withMimeType (onProgressHandler)

Set the withCredentials flag on the request to True. Works via XMLHttpRequest#withCredentials

get "https://example.com/api/items/1"
    |> withCredentials

Injects a cache busting url param into the url with the current timestamp as the value to prevent the server from caching responses get "https://example.com/api/items/1" |> withCredentials

Explicitly allows a require for a file:// url with a response status code of 0 to pass through successfully. This is a common issue when dealing with file:// urls in environments like cordova, and using this function will allow you to work around the problem on an opt-in basis.

Once you're finished building up a request, send it with readers for the successful response value as well as the server error response value.

-- In this example a succesful response from the server looks like
-- ["string", "string", "string"], and an error body might look like
-- "Bad Request" or something similar, such that it is a string that is
-- not valid JSON (it would need to look like "\"Bad Request\"" to be
-- decodable as JSON).


successDecoder : Json.Decode.Decoder (List String)
successDecoder =
    Json.Decode.list Json.Decode.string


get "https://example.com/api/items"
    |> withHeader "Content-Type" "application/json"
    |> withTimeout (10 * Time.second)
    |> send (jsonReader successDecoder) stringReader

A function for transforming raw response bodies into a useful value. Plain string and JSON decoding readers are provided, and the string reader can be used as a basis for more custom readers. When future Http value types become supported matching readers will be added to extract them.

Attempts to read a raw response body as a plain text string, failing if the body is not readable as a string.

Attempts to decode the raw response body with the given Json.Decode.Decoder, failing if the body is malformed or not readable as a string.

Indicates that some kind of failure occured along the path of making and receiving the request. This includes a timeout or network issue, a failure to parse the response body, or a status code outside the 200 range. In the case that the error is due to a non-2xx response code, the full response is provided and the data decoded as JSON using the decoder for errors passed to send.

Represents a response from the server, including both a decoded JSON payload and basic network information.
