A stream based http client for Clojure and ClojureScript that works in browser, nodejs and JVM; and uses beicon as reactive streams abstraction.
Add the following dependency into your project.clj file:
[funcool/rxhttp "1.0.0"]This library just consists in one public namespace with one public method:
(require '[rxhttp.core :as http]
'[beicon.core :as rx])
(-> (http/send! {:method :get :url "https://httpbin.org/get"})
(rx/subscribe (fn [{:keys [status headers body] :as response}]
(println "Response:" response))))That's it, nothing more. You can see all available options in the
send! function docstring.
On JVM platform you also have a send!! function, that is a synchronous
variant of send!.
Just open an issue if you found an error or unexpected behavior or if you want discuss some additional feature. If you found some unexpected behavior and you have time to fix it, please open a PR!
- Why an other http client library?
Because I need and want to handle the response with reactive streams and that abstraction allows easy way to abort/cancel a ingoing request. A promise based solutions does allow that because promise abstracion is not cancellable.
This library does not intend to reinvent the wheel, it just the well established libraries under the hood and exposes an uniform api for all platforms..
- Is this library a replacement for httpurr?
Yes. Reactive-Streams provide a better abstraction for represent an asynchronous result; they are cancellable and lazy.
