Package sling is a Go HTTP client library for creating and sending API requests. Slings store HTTP Request properties to simplify sending requests and decoding responses. Check the examples to learn how to compose a Sling into your API client. Use a Sling to set path, method, header, query, or body properties and create an http.Request. Use Path to set or extend the URL for created Requests. Extension means the path will be resolved relative to the existing URL. Use Get, Post, Put, Patch, Delete, or Head which are exactly the same as Path except they set the HTTP method too. Add or Set headers for requests created by a Sling. Define url parameter structs (https://godoc.org/github.com/google/go-querystring/query). Use QueryStruct to encode a struct as query parameters on requests. Define JSON tagged structs (https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/). Use BodyJSON to JSON encode a struct as the Body on requests. Requests will include an "application/json" Content-Type header. Define url tagged structs (https://godoc.org/github.com/google/go-querystring/query). Use BodyForm to form url encode a struct as the Body on requests. Requests will include an "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" Content-Type header. Use Body to set a plain io.Reader on requests created by a Sling. Set a content type header, if desired (e.g. Set("Content-Type", "text/plain")). Each Sling generates an http.Request (say with some path and query params) each time Request() is called, based on its state. When creating different slings, you may wish to extend an existing Sling to minimize duplication (e.g. a common client). Each Sling instance provides a New() method which creates an independent copy, so setting properties on the child won't mutate the parent Sling. Without the calls to base.New(), tweetShowSling and tweetPostSling would reference the base Sling and POST to "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/show.json/statuses/update.json", which is undesired. Recap: If you wish to extend a Sling, create a new child copy with New(). Define a JSON struct to decode a type from 2XX success responses. Use ReceiveSuccess(successV interface{}) to send a new Request and decode the response body into successV if it succeeds. Most APIs return failure responses with JSON error details. To decode these, define success and failure JSON structs. Use Receive(successV, failureV interface{}) to send a new Request that will automatically decode the response into the successV for 2XX responses or into failureV for non-2XX responses. Pass a nil successV or failureV argument to skip JSON decoding into that value.
