• HttpClientFactory Extensions: Streamlined client creation with authentication and base address setup
• API Client Framework: Base classes and builders for creating structured API clients
• JWT Token Support: Built-in JWT authentication helpers
• Service Collection Extensions: Easy dependency injection setup

Installation

Install via NuGet Package Manager:

dotnet add package SimplyWorks.HttpExtensions

Or via Package Manager Console:

Install-Package SimplyWorks.HttpExtensions

Quick Start

HttpContent Extensions

using SW.HttpExtensions;

// Deserialize JSON response to strongly typed object
var response = await httpClient.GetAsync("api/users");
var users = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<List<User>>();

HttpClient Extensions

using SW.HttpExtensions;

// POST with automatic JSON serialization
var user = new User { Name = "John", Email = "john@example.com" };
var response = await httpClient.PostAsync("api/users", user);

// POST with automatic deserialization
var createdUser = await httpClient.PostAsync<User>("api/users", user);

// GET with automatic deserialization
var users = await httpClient.GetAsync<List<User>>("api/users");

// PUT with automatic JSON serialization
await httpClient.PutAsync("api/users/1", user);

HttpClientFactory Extensions

using SW.HttpExtensions;

// Create client with base address and JWT authentication
var client = httpClientFactory.CreateClient(
 new Uri("https://api.example.com"), 
 jwt: "your-jwt-token"
);

Service Collection Extensions

using SW.HttpExtensions;

// Add JWT token parameters from configuration
services.AddJwtTokenParameters(options => 
{
 // Configure JWT options
});

// Add API client with options
services.AddApiClient<IUserApi, UserApiClient, UserApiMock, UserApiOptions>(options =>
{
 options.BaseUrl = "https://api.example.com";
 options.Mock = false;
});
