HTTP Client

Introduction

JCC Express MVC ships a static fluent HTTP client (Http) built on top of Axios:

• Source: jcc-express-mvc/lib/Http/index.ts
• Core export: jcc-express-mvc/Core/http

It supports chainable headers/query setup and resets internal state after every request method.

Import

Supported request methods

• Http.get(url)
• Http.post(url, data?)
• Http.put(url, data?)
• Http.patch(url, data?)
• Http.delete(url)

Each returns the Axios promise/response.

Fluent configuration

• withHeaders(headers)
• withQueryParameters(params)
• withBody(data, contentType?)
• asForm() -> sets Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• accept(contentType)
• acceptJson()
• reset()

Example:

POST/PATCH/PUT examples

Query parameter behavior

withQueryParameters(...) appends query strings via URLSearchParams:

State reset behavior

After each verb call (get, post, put, patch, delete), the client calls reset() internally:

• query params cleared
• headers cleared
• body cache cleared

This prevents chained settings from leaking into the next request.

Notes

• withBody(...) currently stores body metadata and sets content type; pass actual payload directly to post/put/patch.
• The get method accepts a second params argument in signature, but current implementation uses withQueryParameters(...) for query injection.
• Socialite provider drivers use this HTTP client for OAuth calls.

Summary

• Use Http as a fluent Axios wrapper.
• Prefer withQueryParameters, withHeaders, acceptJson, and asForm before request verbs.
• Rely on automatic reset for clean per-request state.
