Frontend HTTP client

Opinionated HTTP client for the frontend.

Note that it is a ESM-only package.

Basic usage

import wretch from 'wretch'
import { z } from 'zod'

const client = wretch('http://localhost:8000')

const queryParamsSchema = z.object({
	param1: z.string(),
	param2: z.number(),
})

const requestBodySchema = z.object({
	requestCode: z.number(),
})

const responseBodySchema = z.object({
	success: z.boolean(),
})

const responseBody = await sendPost(client, {
	path: '/',
	body: { requestCode: 100 },
	queryParams: { param1: 'test', param2: 123 },
	queryParamsSchema,
	requestBodySchema,
	responseBodySchema,
})

No content response handling (HTTP 204)

SDK methods has a parameter (isEmptyResponseExpected) to specify if 204 response should be treated as an error or not. By default it is treated as valid except on sendGet method where it is treated as an error. Usage example:

const response = await sendGet(client, {
	path: '/',
	isEmptyResponseExpected: true,
})

if 204 responses are expected, the library will return null, if not, it will throw an error.

Non-JSON response handling

SDK methods has a parameter (isNonJSONResponseExpected) to specify if non json responses should be treated as an error or not. By default it is treated as valid except on sendGet method where it is treated as an error. Usage example:

const response = await sendGet(client, {
	path: '/',
	isNonJSONResponseExpected: true,
})

if non-JSON responses are expected, the library will return null, if not, it will throw an error.
