Go REST Client

This client should simplify rest client creation by encapsulating common functionality required for all REST requests.

Usage

First define objects for the api requests and responses:

type DogList struct {
    Data []Dog `json:"data,omitempty"`
}

type Dog struct {
    Id    string `json:"id,omitempty"`
    Breed string `json:"breed,omitempty"`
}

The declare a client and

logger := stdr.New(nil)
// stdr.SetVerbosity(4)
cli := client.NewRestClient("https://dogapi.dog/api/v2")
cli.SetLogger(&logger)

ctx := client.NewRequestContextJson[interface{}, DogList](cli)

dogList := DogList{}
status, statusCode, err := ctx.Get("breeds", nil, &dogList)
fmt.Println(status, statusCode)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
