Queried WebClient

Letting the client do the work.


This component makes working with requests a little easier in introducing a somewhat async workflow by taking a request on  one after another with an extensive API. 
It makes life a little easier by autoparsing requests and responses to JSON.

Parameters:
  • Server : The base domain all requests will be appended to.
  • Header: A TableDAT representing a Header that will be appended to every request where first col is the key, second col is the value.
  • Timeout: How long to wait in seconds before closing the connection and executing the next request.
  • Processing : A Toogle showing if the client is currently processing a request.

Attributes:
  • Processing : Bool. Shows if the webclient is currently fetching data.
  • Exceptions: A list of Exceptions.
  • Request: The class-definition of the Request
  • Response: The class-definition of the Response
  • Cookie: The class-definition for a cookie.

  • Multipart : ClassDefinition for multipart-formdata.

multiPart = op("queriedWebclient").Multipart()
multiPart.AddField( "Key", "Value")
multiPart.AddFile( "Key", pathlib.Path( filepath ) )
content, header = multiPart.Parse()
op("queriedWebclient").Post( "endpoint", header = header, data = content)

Methods:
  • Get( endpoint:str , params:dict = {}, header:dict = {}, cookies:list<Cookie> = [], callback:func<request, response, client_comp> = default_callback )
    Query a get request. Except endpoint everything else is optional.
  • Post/Put/Delete/Search( endpoint, params:dict = {} , header:dict = {}, cookies:list<Cookie> = [], data:any = None, callback:func<request, response, client_comp> = default_callback)
    Creates a Post/Put/Delete request. If the data is delivered as a dictionary, it will be converted to JSON and the apllicationtype Json will be applied to the header.
  • QueryRequest( request_object ) 
    Attaches a Request-Object and attaches it to the query. If no object is in the query it will start the request. Above functions are wrappers around this.
  • Request_Class( server:str, method:str, uri:str = "/", query:dict = {}, header:dict = {}, cookies:list<Cookie> = [], data:any = None, callback:func<lambda request, response, client_comp> = default_callback )
    Created a request-object that can be used in QueryRequest.
  • Cookie( cookie_str:str)
    Can be used to forge cookies, but you actually should just use the ones you already got in the response!

For get one page of catbreeds from catfact.ninja and print it out call:

op("queriedWebClient").Get("breeds", 
							params = {"limit" : 1},
							callback = lambda request, response, server: debug(response))

Callbacks:
  • onResponse(request, response, client_comp): Passes the request and the response on a good response.
  • onError(request, response, client_comp ): On error. Passes the request, response, an exception and the module with exceptions.
  • onQueryEmpty(): Gets called when the last request in the current query resolved.
  • onTimeout( request ): No response from the server during the timeout.

Exceptions:
The onError-callbacks passes an exception-object that can be rissen and excepted to handle specific errors.

try:
		raise error_exception( response["body"] )
	except exceptions.NotFound:
		#What happens when the endpoint cannot be found?

WebClientError : A general-purpose error.
UserError : The issues lies withing the request
ServerError : The issue comes from the server.
