Struct HttpClient 

pub struct HttpClient { /* private fields */ }

A thin wrapper around reqwest::Client shared by all hooksmith service crates.

Service crates (e.g. discord_hook, slack_hook) hold one of these, configure it at construction time, and call HttpClient::post_json to fire requests.

TLS configuration is the responsibility of the service crate — build a reqwest::Client with your chosen TLS backend and pass it in via HttpClient::with_reqwest.

Implementations

impl HttpClient

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a client backed by a freshly-constructed reqwest::Client.

A 30-second request timeout is applied by default so that a slow or unresponsive endpoint can never hang your application indefinitely. Override this by building your own reqwest::Client and passing it to HttpClient::with_reqwest.

pub fn with_reqwest(client: Client) -> Self

Wrap an existing reqwest::Client.

Use this to share a connection pool or inject custom configuration (timeouts, proxies, etc.) across your application.

pub async fn post_json( &self, url: &str, body: &impl Serialize, ) -> Result<Response, Error>

POST body serialized as JSON to url and return the raw response.

pub fn inner(&self) -> &Client

Access the underlying reqwest::Client for advanced use-cases.

Trait Implementations

impl Default for HttpClient

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
