sttp is a family of Scala HTTP-related projects, and currently includes:

sttp client: The Scala HTTP client you always wanted!
sttp tapir: Typed API descRiptions
sttp model: this project. Simple Scala HTTP model. Used by sttp client & sttp tapir

Quickstart with sbt

Add the following dependency:

"com.softwaremill.sttp.model" %% "core" % "1.7.11"

sttp model is available for 2.12, 2.13, 3.0.0, Scala.JS and Scala Native.

Project content

Available model classes include:

Uri
Method
StatusCode
MediaType
Header
HeaderNames
QueryParams
body fragments:
- Part
- ServerSentEvent
header values:
- Accepts
- Accept-Encoding
- CacheDirective
- Cookie
- ETag
- Range
- ContentRange
- WWWAuthenticateChallenge

Most classes contain both serialisation & parsing functionality, following these conventions:

.toString returns a representation of the model class in a format as in an HTTP request/response. For example, for an uri this will be http://..., for a header [name]: [value], etc.
[SthCompanionObject].parse(serialized: String): Either[String, Sth]: returns an error message, or an instance of the model class
[SthCompanionObject].unsafeApply(values): creates an instance of the model class; validates the input values and in case of an error, throws an exception. An error could be e.g. that the input values contain characters outside the allowed range
[SthCompanionObject].safeApply(...): Either[String, Sth]: same as above, but doesn't throw exceptions. Instead, returns an error message, or the model class instance
[SthCompanionObject].apply(...): Sth: creates the model type, without validation, and without throwing exceptions

Documentation

Javadocs

The docs for sttp client contain documentation for the model classes: overview, uri interpolator.

Contributing

If you have a question, or hit a problem, feel free to ask on our gitter channel!

Or, if you encounter a bug, something is unclear in the code or documentation, don’t hesitate and open an issue on GitHub.

Testing Scala.js

Scala.js tests require chromedriver. It is downloaded automatically by the test task. Make sure to run it before running tests in any other way, e.g. using testOnly.

Building & testing the scala-native version

By default, sttp-native will not be included in the aggregate build of the root project. To include it, define the STTP_NATIVE environmental variable before running sbt, e.g.:

STTP_NATIVE=1 sbt

You might need to install some additional libraries, see the scala native documentation site.
