wreq-stringless: Simple wrapper to use wreq without Strings
This Haskell library wraps Network.Wreq to use the functions without Strings.
You can use:
- Data.Text
- Data.Text.Lazy
- Data.ByteString.UTF8
- Data.ByteString.Layz.UTF8
for all functions from Network.Wreq where the original implementation use Strings.
Example:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
module Main where
import qualified Data.Text as T
import Lens.Micro.Extras (view)
import qualified Network.Wreq as Wreq
import qualified Network.Wreq.StringLess as Wreq'
-- say we use a alternate prelude like 'Protolude', and we don't use Strings
-- or we have the url from somewhere else, and it's not a String.
url :: T.Text
url = "http://httpbin.org"
main :: IO ()
main = do
-- with plain wreq
view Wreq.responseStatus <$> Wreq.get (T.unpack url) >>= print
-- with wreq-stringless - no manual conversion necessary
view Wreq'.responseStatus <$> Wreq'.get url >>= print
How to use it:
- replace your wreq dependency with wreq-stringless
- replace the import Network.Wreq with Network.Wreq.StringLess
The versions of this library correspond with the version of wreq.
So if you need wreq-0.5.1.0 you add wreq-stringless-0.5.1.0 as a dependency.
If you use stack, add the following yaml snippet to your ‘stack.yaml’
extra-deps:
- wreq-stringless-0.5.1.0
