SimpleHttpClient 2.1.0

SimpleHttpClient

An easy-to-use .NET wrapper for HttpClient. No extension methods, and included interfaces allow for easy unit test mocking, and straightforward properties allows for easier debugging (the response body is available as a string and/or a typed object).

Usage

public class YourClass
{
    private readonly SimpleClient client;

    public YourClass()
    {
        // Pass the host you'll be calling into the SimpleClient constructor
        client = new SimpleClient("https://postman-echo.com");
    }

    public async Task<string> MakeRequest()
    {
        // Pass the path you want to call into the SimpleRequest constructor
        var request = new SimpleRequest("/get");

        // Call MakeRequest on the client, passing your request, and get your response back
        var response = await client.MakeRequest(request);
        
        return response.StringBody;
    }
}

You can also call MakeRequest with a type to serialize to that type:

public async Task<SomeResponseObject> MakeRequest()
{
    // Pass the path you want to call into the Request constructor
    var request = new SimpleRequest("/get");

    // Call MakeRequest on the client, passing your request, and get your response back
    var response = await client.MakeRequest<SomeResponseObject>(request);

    return response.Body;
}
