CurlReq

Req is awesome, but the world speaks curl.

Next time you're debugging a 3rd party API and need to ask for support, you can just toss in this line:

|> CurlReq.inspect()

And you'll have the full curl command.

Read the announcement here.

Usage

Req to Curl

# Turn a Req request into a `curl` command.

iex> Req.new(url: "/fact", base_url: "https://example.com/")
...> |> CurlReq.to_curl()
"curl --compressed -X GET https://example.com/fact" 

# Or use `CurlReq.inspect/2` to inspect inline.

Req.new(url: "https://example.com")
|> CurlReq.inspect()
|> Req.request!()
#=> curl --compressed -X GET https://example.com

Curl to Req

CurlReq also implements the ~CURL sigil, which converts a curl command to its corresponding Req request.

iex> import CurlReq
...> ~CURL(curl https://www.example.com)
...> # |> Req.request!()

or use CurlReq.from_curl/1:

iex> CurlReq.from_curl("curl https://example.com")
...> # |> Req.request!()

Req Plugin

One final feature to note the Req plugin, CurlReq.Plugin. Use CurlReq.Plugin.attach/2 to set up curl logging (inspired by TeslaCurl).

iex> Req.new(url: "/fact", base_url: "https://example.com/")
...> |> CurlReq.Plugin.attach()
...> # |> Req.request!()
