Installation

From Private Azure Feed

Since this package is hosted privately, configure your NuGet client:

dotnet nuget add source "https://your-private-feed-url" \
 --name "AzurePrivateFeed" \
 --username "YourAzureUsername" \
 --password "YourAzurePassword" \
 --store-password-in-clear-text

Install the package:

dotnet add package Franz.Common.Http.Client 

Usage

1. Configure HTTP Client Services

Use ServiceCollectionExtensions to register HTTP clients:

using Franz.Common.Http.Client.Extensions;

public class Startup
{
 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
 {
 services.AddHttpClientServices(); // Registers HTTP clients and related services
 }
}

2. Execute HTTP Requests

Use the HttpService for simplified HTTP interactions:

using Franz.Common.Http.Client.Files;

var httpService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<HttpService>();

var response = await httpService.GetAsync<MyResponse>("https://api.example.com/resource");

3. Custom Request Builders

Create custom request configurations with request builders:

using Franz.Common.Http.Client.Delegating;

var requestBuilder = new DomainRequestBuilder("https://api.example.com")
 .AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer token")
 .AddQueryParameter("key", "value");

4. File Uploads

Handle file uploads using HttpFileParameter:

using Franz.Common.Http.Client.Content;

var fileParameter = new HttpFileParameter
{
 FileName = "document.pdf",
 ContentType = "application/pdf",
 Content = fileStream
};

await httpService.PostFileAsync("https://api.example.com/upload", fileParameter);

5. Authentication

Integrate authentication workflows with AuthenticationService:

using Franz.Common.Http.Client.Authentication;

var authService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAuthenticationService>();
var token = await authService.GetAccessTokenAsync("my-client-id", "my-client-secret");

Integration with Franz Framework

The Franz.Common.Http.Client package integrates seamlessly with:

• Franz.Common: Provides core utilities.
• Franz.Common.Headers: Simplifies header management.
• Franz.Common.Errors: Handles HTTP-specific errors consistently.
• Franz.Common.Serialization: Enhances serialization for HTTP payloads.
• Franz.Common.MultiTenancy: Enables tenant-specific HTTP configurations.

Ensure these dependencies are installed to fully leverage the library's capabilities.
