v3.8.0

You can also access response data directly through the response object (with square bracket notation only):

  LHC.json.get(url: 'http://datastore/entry/1')[:name]

This makes accessing the data object with .data unnecessary and direct data retrieval a little more convenient.

v3.7.3

Bump resolves some version conflicts with previous 'pre' release

v3.7.2

Minor fixes in regards of requiring files and std. libraries and gracefully initializing constants.

v3.7.1

3.7.0 introduced data accessing improvements but also improved the following different behaviour:

before 3.7.0

LHC.get('something').data.not_existing_key # nil

after 3.7.0

LHC.get('something').data.not_existing_key
# throws no method error

v3.7.0

Accessing data

The response data can be access with dot-notation and square-bracket notation. You can convert response data to open structs or json (if the response format is json).

  response = LHC.request(url: 'http://datastore/entry/1')
  response.data.as_open_struct #<OpenStruct name='local.ch'>
  response.data.as_json # { name: 'local.ch' }
  response.data.name # 'local.ch'
  response.data[:name] # 'local.ch'

v3.6.1

• fix active support dependency

v3.6.0

Custom error handling

You can provide custom error handlers to handle errors happening during the request.

If a error handler is provided nothing is raised.

If your error handler returns anything else but nil it replaces the response body.

handler = ->{ do_something; return {name: 'unknown'} }
response = LHC.get('http://something', error_handler: handler)
response.data.name # 'unknown'

v3.5.5

• Fixes #56
• Fixes some complex cases with names placeholders

v3.5.4

Fixes problem with URL-Templates containing . (dots)
e.g.

http://datastore/entries/:id.json

v3.5.3

Also sets the Accept header when format json is set.
