Whenever we use the ’http’ module to create a ‘client’ and do a REST call in a Golang application we should create a ‘request’ from the same module and define it like in the next snippet:
What about when we create other requests like a GET with headers and query parameters…
or a POST with body…
Looks easy right?… Yes, it is! But this is what we have implemented in every project and as a developer i hate to repeat code or take too long to write so thats why i’ve created a Go module to simplified the construction of http requests faster by applying the builder pattern.
Let see how the previous http request are made with this module, first a simple GET…
GET with headers and query parameters…
POST with body…
Overall
I know it won’t save you that much time but you’ll use a simpler and even syntax so you won’t have to know or remember how to add headers, set query parameters or marshal a body to JSON for your requests.
If you want to contribute with any feature/enhancement/fix feel free to open a Pull Request or an issue in the repository :)
