fp-go HTTP Requests

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.
