# FeignHTTP
[](https://crates.io/crates/feignhttp)
[](https://docs.rs/feignhttp)
[](./LICENSE)
FeignHTTP is a declarative HTTP client. Based on rust macros.
## Features
* Easy to use
* Asynchronous request
* Configurable timeout settings
* Supports form, plain text and JSON
* Selectable HTTP backends ([reqwest](https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest) or [isahc](https://github.com/sagebind/isahc))
## Usage
FeignHTTP mark macros on asynchronous functions, you need a runtime for support async/await. You can use [async-std](https://github.com/async-rs/async-std) or [tokio](https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio).
async-std:
```toml
[dependencies]
async-std = { version = "1", features = ["attributes", "tokio1"] }
```
The feature `tokio1` is need when use reqwest as the HTTP backend.
tokio:
```toml
[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
```
Add `feignhttp` in your `Cargo.toml` and use default feature:
```toml
feignhttp = { version = "0.4" }
```
Then add the following code:
```rust
use feignhttp::get;
#[get("https://api.github.com")]
async fn github() -> feignhttp::Result<String> {}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let r = github().await?;
println!("result: {}", r);
Ok(())
}
```
The `get` attribute macro specifies get request, `feignhttp::Result<String>` specifies the return result.
It will send get request to `https://api.github.com` and receive a plain text body.
Using non-default HTTP backend:
```toml
feignhttp = { version = "0.4", default-features = false, features = ["isahc-client"] }
```
The `default-features = false` option disable default reqwest.
