Mojito

Mojito is a simplified HTTP client for Elixir, built using the low-level Mint library.

It provides an interface that will feel familiar to users of other Elixir HTTP client libraries.

WARNING! This library currently depends on brand new software (Mint). It is not yet recommended to use Mojito in production.

Installation

Add mojito to your deps in mix.exs:

{:mojito, "~> 0.1.0"}

Single-request example

Mojito.request/5 can be used directly for making individual requests:

>>>> Mojito.request(:get, "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1")
{:ok,
 %Mojito.Response{
   body: "{\n  \"userId\": 1,\n  \"id\": 1,\n  \"title\": \"sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit\",\n  \"body\": \"quia et suscipit\\nsuscipit recusandae consequuntur expedita et cum\\nreprehenderit molestiae ut ut quas totam\\nnostrum rerum est autem sunt rem eveniet architecto\"\n}",
   headers: [
     {"content-type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"},
     {"content-length", "292"},
     {"connection", "keep-alive"},
     ...
   ],
   status_code: 200
 }}

Pool example

Mojito.Pool.request/6 can be used when a pool of persistent HTTP connections is desired:

>>>> children = [Mojito.Pool.child_spec(MyPool)]
>>>> {:ok, _pid} = Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
>>>> Mojito.Pool.request(MyPool, :get, "http://example.com")
{:ok, %Mojito.Response{...}}

Connection pooling in Mojito is implemented using Poolboy.

Self-signed SSL/TLS certificates

To accept self-signed certificates in HTTPS connections, you can give the transport_opts: [verify: :verify_none] option to Mojito.request/5 or Mojito.Pool.request/6:

>>>> Mojito.request(:get, "https://localhost:8443/")
{:error, {:tls_alert, 'bad certificate'}}

>>>> Mojito.request(:get, "https://localhost:4443/", [], "", transport_opts: [verify: :verify_none])
{:ok, %Mojito.Response{...}}
