HTTP Blog is a TypeScript project that showcases the usage of a custom Request class for handling HTTP requests. The project includes a practical implementation of the Request class in a blog-style application, where it is used to fetch and manage blog posts. The application is built with Express.js and React, and it showcases best practices for structuring a TypeScript project.
The Request class is a custom class designed to handle generic or specific asynchronous HTTP requests. It provides a set of methods and properties that allow for easy configuration and execution of requests, including request and response interception, a customizable response messages, and a factory method for creating new instances.
The Request class can also be extended to create subclasses that hold their own default configurations, allowing for the creation of specialized request handlers for specific use cases of HTTP requests.
The Request class is implemented in the src/api/request.ts file. This includes the class definition, its methods, and any associated types or interfaces. Please refer to this file for the actual implementation details.
The Request class and its subclasses are used in various parts of the project to handle HTTP requests. You can find its usage in the following files:
src/controllers/PostController.ts: This file uses theRequestclass to make GET and POST HTTP requests related to the posts.
For more detailed information about the Request class, including examples of how to use and extend it, please refer to the Request Class Documentation.
Since this project was mainly developed to showcase the implementation of this Request class, it is strongly recommended to read its dedicated Request Class Documentation.
