wapi - async HTTP library

Post by Ulydev »

Hello,

Here's a little lib that implements async HTTP requests.
It's mainly designed for web REST APIs.

Image

Code: Select all

local wapi = require "webapi"

function love.update(dt)
  wapi.update()
end



request = wapi.request({
  method = "GET",
  url = "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"
}, function (body, headers, code)

  print(body)

end)
Check it out on Github :awesome:

This is cool... but it would be even cooler if it used coroutines! For example:

Code: Select all

local wapi = require "webapi"

function love.update(dt)
  wapi.update()
end


wapi.do(function()
body, headers, code = wapi.request({
  method = "GET",
  url = "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"
})

print(body)
end)

If speed is an issue, then don't use coroutines, since luaJIT can't/doesn't compile them.
Otherwise, go for it. :3
