SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies making HTTP requests in Go by wrapping the standard net/http library with functional programming principles, enabling composable, context-aware operations with automatic error propagation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Functional HTTP Client: Uses ReaderIOResult monad for lazy, composable HTTP requests.
  • Request Building: Provides functions to easily create GET, POST, and other requests with options for headers, query parameters, and JSON bodies.
  • Response Handling: Offers readers for JSON, text, and raw bytes, with automatic validation.
  • Parallel Requests: Supports executing multiple requests in parallel, handling both homogeneous and heterogeneous response types.
  • Builder API: A fluent API for constructing complex requests.
  • Use Case: Fetching data from multiple external APIs concurrently, processing the responses, and handling potential errors gracefully within a larger Go application.

Quick Start

Use the fp-go HTTP skill to make a GET request to "https://api.example.com/users/1" and parse the JSON response into a User struct.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make composable HTTP requests in Go using functional programming?▼

You can make composable HTTP requests in Go by using the fp-go library, which wraps the standard net/http client. It uses a ReaderIOResult monad to enable lazy evaluation and automatic error propagation for request operations.

What is the best way to execute parallel HTTP requests in Go and handle heterogeneous responses?▼

The best way to execute parallel HTTP requests in Go is using a functional HTTP client that supports concurrent operations. This approach handles both homogeneous and heterogeneous response types while maintaining robust error management.

How do I build complex HTTP API requests with headers and JSON bodies in Go?▼

You build complex HTTP API requests in Go using a fluent builder API. This interface allows you to easily configure GET and POST requests with custom headers, query parameters, and JSON bodies before execution.

Does this functional HTTP client approach support automatic JSON parsing for Go structs?▼

Yes, the functional HTTP client supports automatic JSON parsing for Go structs. It provides specific readers for JSON, text, and raw bytes, ensuring responses are parsed and validated automatically within the composable context.

Can I use this functional HTTP approach with the standard net/http library in my existing Go application?▼

Yes, you can use this approach with the standard net/http library in your Go application. The functional interface integrates directly with net/http, allowing you to fetch external API data and process responses without replacing your underlying HTTP stack.
