[Question] Idiomatic processing of GET

[juergenhoetzel]

First: Thanks for this nice library :+1:

There are many useful examples on this page. But all examples do handle the response in a imperative/side-effect way (message output).

I would like to do something like this:

(request
 "http://example.host/add"
 :params '(("a" . 1) ("b" . 2))
 :parser 'json-read)

Eval result is:

3

Is this possible?

I don't entirely undertand your question, but if you are asking for access to the response data, then perhaps you want something like this?

(let* ((thisrequest elisp
    (request
      "http://example.host/add"
      :params '(("a" . 1) ("b" . 2))
      :parser 'json-read) ))
    (data (request-response-data thisrequest))
    (messate "%s" data))

I hope to update the documentation when I have time!
