http library

Provides typed HTTP client factory with lifetime management and request/response logging.

This library implements HTTP client abstractions inspired by Microsoft.Extensions.Http, offering centralized configuration, automatic logging, and proper resource management for HTTP clients.

HTTP Client Factory

Create and configure HTTP clients through dependency injection:

final services = ServiceCollection()
  ..addHttpClient()
  ..addHttpClientLogging();

final factory = provider.getRequiredService<HttpClientFactory>();
final client = factory.createClient();

Named Clients

Register named clients with specific configurations:

services.addHttpClient('GitHub')
  .configureHttpClient((client, sp) {
    // Configure client
  })
  .redactLoggedHeaderNames(['Authorization'])
  .setHandlerLifetime(Duration(minutes: 5));

final githubClient = factory.createClient('GitHub');

Request Logging

Automatically log HTTP requests and responses:

services
  ..addLogging((builder) => builder.addSimpleConsole())
  ..addHttpClient()
  ..addHttpClientLogging();  // Enables request/response logging

Message Handlers

Add custom message handlers for cross-cutting concerns:

services.addHttpClient('API')
  .addHttpMessageHandler((sp) => AuthenticationHandler())
  .addHttpMessageHandler((sp) => RetryHandler());
