Mu::RestClient

This is a REST client I made for fun. ❤️

It is simple, yet flexible enough for my use cases.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mu-rest_client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mu-rest_client

Usage

Require it:

require 'mu/rest-client'

Success

result = Mu::RestClient.api_request(
  domain: 'reqres.in',
  path: '/api/users/2',
)
result.success? # => true
result.unwrap(:http_code) # => '200'
result.unwrap(:body)
# => {"data"=>
#   {"id"=>2,
#    "email"=>"janet.weaver@reqres.in",
#    "first_name"=>"Janet",
#    "last_name"=>"Weaver",
#    "avatar"=>"https://s3.amazonaws.com/uifaces/faces/twitter/josephstein/128.jpg"}}

Error 404

result = Mu::RestClient.api_request(
  domain: 'reqres.in',
  path: '/api/users/23',
)
result.error? # => true
result.code # => :http_error
result.unwrap(:http_code) # => '404'
result.unwrap(:response) # => #<Net::HTTPNotFound 404 Not Found readbody=true>
result.unwrap(:body) # => {}

Error 400

result = Mu::RestClient.api_request(domain: 'reqres.in', path: '/api/login', method: :post, body_params: { email: "peter@klaven" })
result.error? # => true
result.http_code # => '400'
result.unwrap(:body) # => {"error"=>"Missing email or username"}

Success 204

result = Mu::RestClient.api_request(
  domain: 'reqres.in',
  path: '/api/users/2',
  method: :delete,
  success_codes: ['204'],
)
result.success? # => true
result.http_code # => '204'
