go-request is a wrapper for net/http request to make it easier to send HTTP request.

go get -u github.com/amuwall/go-request

// Create client, default scheme is https and port is 443
client, err := request.NewClient("127.0.0.1")

// Create request
req, err := request.NewRequest(http.MethodPost, "/api/test")

// Send request
resp, err := client.do(req)

Here are some client options. When call NewClient, you can use these to set client.

• WithScheme
• WithPort
• WithTransport
• WithTimeout
• WithClientCertificateBlock
• WithClientCertificateFile
• WithTLSServerName
• WithSkipVerifyCertificates

Example:

client, err := request.NewClient(
    "127.0.0.1",
    request.WithScheme("http"),
    request.WithScheme("80"),
)

Here are some request options. When call NewRequest, you can use these to set request.

• WithHost
• WithHeaders
• WithQueryParams
• WithBodyParams

Example:

req, err := request.NewRequest(
    http.MethodPost,
    "/api/test",
    request.WithBodyParams(
        request.NewJsonBodyParams(map[string]string{"msg": "hello"}),
    ),
)

Here are two defined params, JsonBodyParams and FormBodyParams.

params := request.NewJsonBodyParams(map[string]string{"msg": "hello"})

params := request.NewFormBodyParams(map[string]string{"msg": "hello"})
params.AddFile("file", "test.txt", f) // Send file

You can use .StatusCode to get response status code, use .Header to get response header, and use .RawBody to get response body.
If your response body is JSON, you can call .UnmarshalJSONBody method to unmarshal response body

err := resp.UnmarshalJSONBody(val)
