You can create instance of Dio with a optional `Options` object: ```dart Dio dio = new Dio; // with default Options // Set default configs dio.options.baseUrl="https://www.xx.com/api" dio.options.connectTimeout = 5000; //5s dio.options.receiveTimeout=3000; // or new Dio with a Options instance. Options options= new Options( baseUrl:"https://www.xx.com/api", connectTimeout:5000, receiveTimeout:3000 ); Dio dio = new Dio(options); ``` The core API in Dio instance is : **Future request(String path, {data, Options options,CancelToken cancelToken})** ```dart response=await request("/test", data: {"id":12,"name":"xx"}, new Options(method:"GET")); ``` ### Request method aliases For convenience aliases have been provided for all supported request methods. **Future get(path, {data, Options options,CancelToken cancelToken})** **Future post(path, {data, Options options,CancelToken cancelToken})** **Future put(path, {data, Options options,CancelToken cancelToken})** **Future delete(path, {data, Options options,CancelToken cancelToken})** **Future head(path, {data, Options options,CancelToken cancelToken})** **Future put(path, {data, Options options,CancelToken cancelToken})** **Future path(path, {data, Options options,CancelToken cancelToken})** **Future download(String urlPath, savePath,** **{OnDownloadProgress onProgress, data, bool flush: false, Options options,CancelToken cancelToken})** ## Request Options These are the available config options for making requests. Requests will default to `GET` if `method` is not specified. ```dart { /// Http method. String method; /// Request base url, it can contain sub path, like: "https://www.google.com/api/". String baseUrl; /// Http request headers. Map headers; /// Timeout in milliseconds for opening url. int connectTimeout; /// Whenever more than [receiveTimeout] (in milliseconds) passes between two events from response stream, /// [Dio] will throw the [DioError] with [DioErrorType.RECEIVE_TIMEOUT]. /// Note: This is not the receiving time limitation. int receiveTimeout; /// Request data, can be any type. T data; /// If the `path` starts with "http(s)", the `baseURL` will be ignored, otherwise, /// it will be combined and then resolved with the baseUrl. String path=""; /// The request Content-Type. The default value is [ContentType.JSON]. /// If you want to encode request body with "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", /// you can set `ContentType.parse("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")`, and [Dio] /// will automatically encode the request body. ContentType contentType; /// [responseType] indicates the type of data that the server will respond with /// options which defined in [ResponseType] are `JSON`, `STREAM`, `PLAIN`. /// /// The default value is `JSON`, dio will parse response string to json object automatically /// when the content-type of response is "application/json". /// /// If you want to receive response data with binary bytes, for example, /// downloading a image, use `STREAM`. /// /// If you want to receive the response data with String, use `PLAIN`. ResponseType responseType; /// `validateStatus` defines whether the request is successful for a given /// HTTP response status code. If `validateStatus` returns `true` , /// the request will be perceived as successful; otherwise, considered as failed. ValidateStatus validateStatus; /// Custom field that you can retrieve it later in [Interceptor]、[TransFormer] and the [Response] object. Map extra; } ``` There is a complete example [here](https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/tree/flutter/example/options.dart). ## Response Schema The response for a request contains the following information. ```dart { /// Response body. may have been transformed, please refer to [ResponseType]. T data; /// Response headers. HttpHeaders headers; /// The corresponding request info. Options request; /// Http status code. int statusCode; /// Custom field that you can retrieve it later in `then`. Map extra; } ``` When request is succeed, you will receive the response as follows: ```dart Response response=await dio.get("https://www.google.com"); print(response.data); print(response.headers); print(response.request); print(statusCode); ``` ## Interceptors Each Dio instance has a `RequestInterceptor` and a `ResponseInterceptor`, by which you can intercept requests or responses before they are handled by `then` or `catchError`. ```dart dio.interceptor.request.onSend = (Options options){ // Do something before request is sent return options; //continue // If you want to resolve the request with some custom data， // you can return a `Response` object or return `dio.resolve(data)`. // If you want to reject the request with a error message, // you can return a `DioError` object or return `dio.reject(errMsg)` } dio.interceptor.response.onSuccess = (Response response) { // Do something with response data return response; // continue }; dio.interceptor.response.onError = (DioError e){ // Do something with response error return DioError;//continue } ``` If you may need to remove an interceptor later you can. ```dart dio.interceptor.request.onSend=null; dio.interceptor.response.onSuccess=null; dio.interceptor.response.onError=null; ``` ### Resolve and reject the request In all interceptors, you can interfere with thire execution flow. If you want to resolve the request/response with some custom data， you can return a `Response` object or return `dio.resolve(data)`. If you want to reject the request/response with a error message, you can return a `DioError` object or return `dio.reject(errMsg)` . ```dart dio.interceptor.request.onSend = (Options options){ return dio.resolve("fake data") } Response response= await dio.get("/test"); print(response.data);//"fake data" ``` ### Supports Async tasks in Interceptors Interceptors not only support synchronous tasks , but also supports asynchronous tasks, for example: ```dart dio.interceptor.request.onSend = (Options options) async{ //...If no token, request token firstly. Response response = await dio.get("/token"); //Set the token to headers options.headers["token"] = response.data["data"]["token"]; return options; //continue } ``` ### Lock/unlock the interceptors you can lock/unlock the interceptors by calling their `lock()`/`unlock` method. Once the request/response interceptor is locked, the incoming request/response will be added to a queue before they enter the interceptor, they will not be continued until the interceptor is unlocked. ```dart tokenDio=new Dio(); //Create a new instance to request the token. tokenDio.options=dio; dio.interceptor.request.onSend = (Options options) async{ // If no token, request token firstly and lock this interceptor // to prevent other request enter this interceptor. dio.interceptor.request.lock(); // We use a new Dio(to avoid dead lock) instance to request token. Response response = await tokenDio.get("/token"); //Set the token to headers options.headers["token"] = response.data["data"]["token"]; dio.interceptor.request.unlock() return options; //continue } ``` you can clean the waiting queue by calling `clear()`; ### aliases When the **request** interceptor is locked, the incoming request will pause, this is equivalent to we locked the current dio instance, Therefore, Dio provied the two aliases for the `lock/unlock` of **request** interceptors. **dio.lock() == dio.interceptor.request.lock()** **dio.unlock() == dio.interceptor.request.unlock()** ### Example Because of security reasons, we need all the requests to set up a csrfToken in the header, if csrfToken does not exist, we need to request a csrfToken first, and then perform the network request, because the request csrfToken progress is asynchronous, so we need to execute this async request in request interceptor. the code is as follows: ```dart dio.interceptor.request.onSend = (Options options) { print('send request：path:${options.path}，baseURL:${options.baseUrl}'); if (csrfToken == null) { print("no token，request token firstly..."); //lock the dio. dio.lock(); return tokenDio.get("/token").then((d) { options.headers["csrfToken"] = csrfToken = d.data['data']['token']; print("request token succeed, value: " + d.data['data']['token']); print('continue to perform request：path:${options.path}，baseURL:${options.path}'); return options; }).whenComplete(() => dio.unlock()); // unlock the dio } else { options.headers["csrfToken"] = csrfToken; return options; } }; ``` For complete codes click [here](https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/tree/flutter/example/interceptorLock.dart). ## Handling Errors When a error occurs, Dio will wrap the `Error/Exception` to a `DioError`: ```dart try { //404 await dio.get("https://wendux.github.io/xsddddd"); } on DioError catch(e) { // The request was made and the server responded with a status code // that falls out of the range of 2xx and is also not 304. if(e.response) { print(e.response.data) print(e.response.headers) print(e.response.request) } else{ // Something happened in setting up or sending the request that triggered an Error print(e.request) print(e.message) } } ``` ### DioError scheme ```dart { /// Response info, it may be `null` if the request can't reach to /// the http server, for example, occurring a dns error, network is not available. Response response; /// Error descriptions. String message; DioErrorType type; /// Error stacktrace info StackTrace stackTrace; } ``` ### DioErrorType ```dart enum DioErrorType { /// Default error type, usually occurs before connecting the server. DEFAULT, /// When opening url timeout, it occurs. CONNECT_TIMEOUT, /// Whenever more than [receiveTimeout] (in milliseconds) passes between two events from response stream, /// [Dio] will throw the [DioError] with [DioErrorType.RECEIVE_TIMEOUT]. /// /// Note: This is not the receiving time limitation. RECEIVE_TIMEOUT, /// When the server response, but with a incorrect status, such as 404, 503... RESPONSE, /// When the request is cancelled, dio will throw a error with this type. CANCEL } ``` ## Using application/x-www-form-urlencoded format By default, Dio serializes request data(except String type) to `JSON`. To send data in the `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` format instead, you can : ```dart //Instance level dio.options.contentType=ContentType.parse("application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); //or works once dio.post("/info",data:{"id":5}, options: new Options(contentType:ContentType.parse("application/x-www-form-urlencoded"))) ``` There is a example [here](https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/tree/flutter/example/options.dart). ## Sending FormData You can also send FormData with Dio, which will send data in the `multipart/form-data`, and it supports upload files. ```dart FormData formData = new FormData.from({ "name": "wendux", "age": 25, "file": new UploadFileInfo(new File("./example/upload.txt"), "upload.txt") }); response = await dio.post("/info", data: formData) ``` > Note: Just the post method suppots FormData. There is a complete example [here](https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/tree/flutter/example/formdata.dart). ## Transformer `TransFormer` allows changes to the request/response data before it is sent/received to/from the server. This is only applicable for request methods 'PUT', 'POST', and 'PATCH'. Dio has already implemented a `DefaultTransformer`, and as the default `TransFormer`. If you want to custom the transformation of request/response data, you can provide a `TransFormer` by your self, and replace the `DefaultTransformer` by setting the `dio.transformer`. There is example for [customing transformer](https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/blob/master/example/transformer.dart). ## Set proxy and HttpClient config Dio use HttpClient to send http request, so you can config the `dio.httpClient` to support `porxy`, for example: ```dart dio.onHttpClientCreate = (HttpClient client) { // config the http client client.findProxy = (uri) { //proxy all request to localhost:8888 return "PROXY localhost:8888"; }; // you can also create a new HttpClient to dio // return new HttpClient(); }; ``` There is a complete example [here](https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/tree/flutter/example/proxy.dart). ## Cancellation You can cancel a request using a *cancel token*. One token can be shared with multiple requests. when a token's `cancel` method invoked, all requests with this token will be cancelled. ```dart CancelToken token = new CancelToken(); dio.get(url1, cancelToken: token); dio.get(url2, cancelToken: token); // cancel the requests with "cancelled" message. token.cancel("cancelled"); ``` There is a complete example [here](https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/tree/flutter/example/cancelRequest.dart). ## Cookie Manager You can manage the request/response cookies using `cookieJar` . > The dio cookie manage API is based on the withdrawn [cookie_jar](https://github.com/flutterchina/cookie_jar). You can create a `CookieJar` or `PersistCookieJar` to manage cookies automaticlly, and dio use the `CookieJar` by default, which saves the cookies **in RAM**. If you want to persists cookies, you can use the `PersistCookieJar` class, the example codes as follows: ```dart var dio = new Dio(); dio.cookieJar=new PersistCookieJar("./cookies"); ``` `PersistCookieJar` is a cookie manager which implements the standard cookie policy declared in RFC. `PersistCookieJar` persists the cookies in files, so if the application exit, the cookies always exist unless call `delete` explicitly.
