Minor changes for status error handling and POST requests

Async/await http client using new concurrency model in Swift

Network layer for running requests like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE etc customizable with coders. There's ability to retry request with different strategies

Features

Fast track

1. Use

   try await Http.Get.from(url, retry: 5, validate: [.status(200)])

   try await Http.Post.from(url, taskDelegate : TaskDelegate())

   try await Http.Put.from(url, body: data)

   try await Http.Delete.from(url)

Fast-track functions return (Data, URLResponse) if you need to validate status code you can use func validateStatus check different strategies Http.Validate.Status

        let (data, response) = try await Http.Get.from(url)
        let rule : Http.Validate.Status = .range(200..<300)
        try validateStatus(response, by: rule)

Extended track

1. Create

    let url = URL(string: "http://localhost:3000")
    let http = Http.Proxy(baseURL: url)

with custom configuration

      let cfg = Http.Configuration(
                    reader: SomeReader(),
                    writer: SomeWriter(),
                    baseURL: baseURL,
                    session: session)
     let http = Http.Proxy(config: cfg)

2. Use

GET

    try await http.get(path: "users")

GET with retry

    try await http.get(path: "users", retry  : 5)

GET with validate status code 200..<300

    try await http.get(path: "users", validate: [.status(.range(200..<300))])

POST

    try await http.post(
                        path: "users", 
                        body: data, 
                        query: [("name", "Igor"), ("page","1")], 
                        headers: ["Content-Type": "application/json"])

POST with Delegate collecting metrics

    try await http.post(path: "users", taskDelegate: DelegatePickingUpMetrics())

PUT

    try await http.put(path: "users", body: data)

DELETE

    try await http.delete(path: "users")

Custom request

        public func send<T>(
            with request : URLRequest,
            retry strategy : RetryService.Strategy = .exponential(),
            _ validate : [Http.Validate] = [.status(200)],
            _ taskDelegate: ITaskDelegate? = nil
        ) async throws -> Http.Response<T> where T : Decodable

Retry strategy

This package uses stand alone package providing retry policy. The service creates sequence of the delays (nanoseconds) according to chosen strategy for more details folow the link retry service

type	description
constant	The strategy implements constant backoff
exponential [default]	The strategy implements exponential backoff

Validate

Is an array of different rules to check URLResponse. Currently is implemented for validating status code.

Status code

type	description
const(Int) [default] 200	Validate by exact value
range(Range) [default] 200..<300	Validate by range
predicate(Predicate)	Validate by predicate func if you need some specific processing logic
check(ErrorFn)	Check status and return custom error if status is not valid

By range

    try await http.get(path: path, validate: [.status(.range(200..<300))])

By predicate

    let fn : (Int) -> Bool = { status in status == 201 }
    
    try await http.get(path: path, validate: [.status(.predicate(fn))])

There's an example replicate toolkit for swift how to use it with a custom response error format that has different format then the successful response

The concept

Proxy is defining a communication layer and responsible for exchanging data with data source. There might be Http proxy, File proxy etc or some flavors REST proxy, LongFile proxy.
Reader and Writer are used to interpret data.

Try it in the real environment

Simple server installation (mocking with NodeJS Express)

To try it in the real environment. I suggest installing the basic NodeJS Express boilerplate. Take a look on the video snippet how easy it is to get it through Webstorm that is accessible for free for a trial period.

Get WebStorm Early Access
Get index.js file from here and replace it with the one in the boilerplate and launch the server.
