Faraday!

Faraday is a great HTTP library, but it would be even better if had ! versions of all it's methods to raise errors when the request does not receive a successful response. Enter Farady! (pronounced Faraday Bang).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'faraday_bang'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install faraday_bang

Usage

Using Faraday! is just as easy as using Faraday, except all you have to do is add a ! to the Faraday methods.

response = Faraday.get!('http://sushi.com/nigiri/sake.json')

If a response is not successful, then a Faraday::Bang::ResponseError error will be raised.

Each of the HTTP error status codes have been given their own sub-class to make catching them even easier. Here are a few examples:

Faraday::Bang::Response401Error
Faraday::Bang::Response404Error
Faraday::Bang::Response500Error
Faraday::Bang::Response503Error

But Wait! There's More!

As a special added bonus an as_json method has been added to Faraday::Response to make it easier to JSON bodies back as a Ruby Hash.

response = Faraday.get!('http://example.com/example.json')
json = response.as_json
puts json # => {"name"=>"Mark"}
