Request

Define your request model and attach restclientgo methods to satisfy the Request interface.

type MyRequest struct {
    // Add your request fields here
    // ID string `json:"id"`
    // ...
}

func (r *MyRequest) Path() (string, error) {
    // Return the path of the request including the query string if any.
}

func (r *MyRequest) Encode() (io.Reader, error) {
    // Return the request body as string
}

func (r *MyRequest) ContentType() string {
    // Return the content type of the request
}

Response

Define your response model and attach restclientgo methods to satisfy the Response interface.

type MyResponse struct {
    // Add your response fields here
    // ID string `json:"id"`
    // ...
}

func (r *MyResponse) Decode(body io.Reader) error {
    // Decode the response body into the response model
}

func (r *MyResponse) SetBody(body io.Reader) error {
    // Set the response body if needed
}

func (r *MyResponse) StatusCode(int code) error {
    // Handler to set the HTTP status code of the response
}
