<!-- ANCHOR: description -->

This library provides middlewares and various utilities for HTTP-clients.

Thus, it extends the [`tower_http`] functionality for creating HTTP clients
using [`tower`] middlewares.

At the moment, the de facto standard client library is [`reqwest`], which is
poorly compatible with the [`tower`] services, but thanks to the
[`tower_reqwest`] crate, it can be used with the any [`tower_http`] layers.

The first goal of the project is to create a more flexible and extensible
alternative for [`reqwest_middleware`].

## Examples

Simple client usage with layers from the [`tower_http`].

<!-- ANCHOR: example -->

```rust
use http::{header::USER_AGENT, HeaderValue};
use tower::{ServiceBuilder, ServiceExt};
use tower_http::ServiceBuilderExt;
use tower_http_client::{ServiceExt as _, ResponseExt as _};
use tower_reqwest::HttpClientLayer;
use wiremock::{Mock, MockServer, ResponseTemplate, matchers::{method, path}};

/// Implementation agnostic HTTP client.
type HttpClient = tower::util::BoxCloneService<
    http::Request<reqwest::Body>,
    http::Response<reqwest::Body>,
    anyhow::Error,
>;

/// Creates HTTP client with Tower layers on top of the given client.
fn make_client(client: reqwest::Client) -> HttpClient {
    ServiceBuilder::new()
        // Add some layers.
        .override_request_header(USER_AGENT, HeaderValue::from_static("tower-http-client"))
        // Make client compatible with the `tower-http` layers.
        .layer(HttpClientLayer)
        .service(client)
        .map_err(anyhow::Error::from)
        .boxed_clone()
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Start a mock server for testing
    let mock_server = MockServer::start().await;
    
    // Configure mock response
    Mock::given(method("GET"))
        .and(path("/hello"))
        .respond_with(ResponseTemplate::new(200).set_body_string("Hello, World!"))
        .mount(&mock_server)
        .await;

    // Create a new client.
    let mut client = make_client(reqwest::Client::new());
    // Execute request by using this service.
    let response = client
        .get(format!("{}/hello", mock_server.uri()))
        .send()
        .await?;

    let text = response.body_reader().utf8().await?;
    println!("{text}");

    Ok(())
}
```
