Tarsier HTTP Parser

Documentation • Issues • Example • License • Pub.dev

A lightweight and flexible Dart HTTP client designed for making API calls with dynamic response parsing. It provides an easy way to handle HTTP requests and parse JSON responses into specific data models.

✨ Features

• Simple API: Includes basic HTTP methods like GET, POST, and DELETE.
• Dynamic Parsing: Supports generic types for flexible JSON-to-object conversion.
• Error Handling: Encapsulates success and error states using the Result<T> class.
• No Inheritance: Avoids unnecessary inheritance from http.Client for a minimal and focused API.

🚀 Installation

Add the following to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  tarsier_http_parser: ^1.0.1

Run the following command:

flutter pub get

📒 Usage

• Define a Data Model

  Create a data model that includes a fromJson factory constructor:

class User {
  final String id;
  final String name;

  User({required this.id, required this.name});

  factory User.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
    return User(
      id: json['id'] as String,
      name: json['name'] as String,
    );
  }
}

• Initialize the HTTP Client

  Create an instance of TarsierHttpClient with the fromJson function for single object:

final client = TarsierHttpClient<User>(
  fromJson: (json) => User.fromJson(json as Map<String, dynamic>),
);

For a list of objects:

final client = TarsierHttpClient<List<User>>(
    fromJson: (json) => (json as List).map((item) => User.fromJson(item)).toList(),
);

• Make HTTP Requests

  GET Request

final result = await client.get(Uri.parse('https://api.example.com/user'));

result
  .onSuccess((user) => print('User: ${user.name}'))
  .onError((error) => print('Error: $error'));

POST Request

final postResult = await client.post(
  Uri.parse('https://api.example.com/user'),
  body: {'name': 'New User'},
);

postResult
  .onSuccess((user) => print('Created User: ${user.name}'))
  .onError((error) => print('Error: $error'));

DELETE Request

final deleteResult = await client.delete(Uri.parse('https://api.example.com/user/123'));

deleteResult
  .onSuccess((data) => print('User deleted'))
  .onError((error) => print('Error: $error'));
