    • httpRequest

      S httpRequest(Consumer<ClientHttpRequest> requestConsumer)
      Callback for access to the ClientHttpRequest that in turn provides access to the native request of the underlying HTTP library.

      This could be useful for setting advanced, per-request options that are exposed by the underlying library.

      Parameters:
      requestConsumer - a consumer to access the ClientHttpRequest with
      Returns:
      this builder

    • retrieve

      RestClient.ResponseSpec retrieve()
      Enter the retrieve workflow and use the returned RestClient.ResponseSpec to select from a number of built-in options to extract the response. For example: 
       ResponseEntity<Person> entity = client.get()
     .uri("/persons/1")
     .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
     .retrieve()
     .toEntity(Person.class);

      Or if interested only in the body: 

       Person person = client.get()
     .uri("/persons/1")
     .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
     .retrieve()
     .body(Person.class);
      Note that this method does not actually execute the request until you call one of the returned RestClient.ResponseSpec. Use the exchange(ExchangeFunction) variants if you need to separate request execution from response extraction.

      By default, 4xx response code result in a HttpClientErrorException and 5xx response codes in a HttpServerErrorException. To customize error handling, use onStatus handlers.

      Returns:
      ResponseSpec to specify how to decode the body

    • exchange

      @Nullable default <T> T exchange(RestClient.RequestHeadersSpec.ExchangeFunction<T> exchangeFunction)
      Exchange the ClientHttpResponse for a type T. This can be useful for advanced scenarios, for example to decode the response differently depending on the response status: 
       Person person = client.get()
     .uri("/people/1")
     .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
     .exchange((request, response) -> {
         if (response.getStatusCode().equals(HttpStatus.OK)) {
             return deserialize(response.getBody());
         }
         else {
             throw new BusinessException();
         }
     });

      Note: The response is closed after the exchange function has been invoked.

      Type Parameters:
      T - the type the response will be transformed to
      Parameters:
      exchangeFunction - the function to handle the response with
      Returns:
      the value returned from the exchange function

    • exchange

      @Nullable <T> T exchange(RestClient.RequestHeadersSpec.ExchangeFunction<T> exchangeFunction, boolean close)
      Exchange the ClientHttpResponse for a type T. This can be useful for advanced scenarios, for example to decode the response differently depending on the response status: 
       Person person = client.get()
     .uri("/people/1")
     .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
     .exchange((request, response) -> {
         if (response.getStatusCode().equals(HttpStatus.OK)) {
             return deserialize(response.getBody());
         }
         else {
             throw new BusinessException();
         }
     });

      Note: If close is true, then the response is closed after the exchange function has been invoked. When set to false, the caller is responsible for closing the response.

      Type Parameters:
      T - the type the response will be transformed to
      Parameters:
      exchangeFunction - the function to handle the response with
      close - true to close the response after exchangeFunction is invoked, false to keep it open
      Returns:
      the value returned from the exchange function
