Expand description

Specify the Request method that should be used for a type.

Due to the way the Rust type system works, you can implement both PostRequest and GetRequest for the same type. To be able to implement Request for your type, this trait helps by allowing you to specify which request type should be used.

For example:

use restless_core::*;
use std::borrow::Cow;

struct MyRequest;

impl GetRequest for MyRequest {
    type Response = Vec<u8>;
    type Query = ();

    fn path(&self) -> Cow<'_, str> {
        "api/v1/request".into()
    }

    fn query(&self) -> Self::Query {}
}

impl RequestMethod for MyRequest {
    type Method = methods::Get<Self>;
}
