Eidolon Pro Tip!

Eidolon.Networking allows you to setup and manage web requests for your game faster than traditional solutions by providing you with easy-to-use methods for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests.

1. Setup and Usage

Integrate the Eidolon.Networking package into your project to simplify making HTTP requests. Here’s how you can use it:

2. Setting Custom Headers

Define custom headers for your web requests to include necessary authentication tokens and other information.

// Example for setting custom headers
var headers = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
    { "Authorization", "Bearer your_token_here" },
    { "Custom-Header", "custom_value" },
    { "User-Agent", "CustomUserAgent/1.0" }
};

3. Perform a GET Request

Retrieve data from a specified URL using the GET method.

// Example usage of GET request
EidolonRequest.Get(getUrl, headers,
    response =>
    {
        Debug.Log($"GET Request Successful.\nResponse: {response}");
    },
    error =>
    {
        Debug.LogError($"GET Request Failed.\nError: {error}");
    });

4. Perform a POST Request

Send data to a specified URL using the POST method.

// Example usage of POST request
var postFields = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    { "title", "foo" },
    { "newUser", false },
    { "userId", 1 }
};

EidolonRequest.Post(postUrl, postFields, contentType.Json, headers,
    response =>
    {
        Debug.Log($"POST Request Successful.\nResponse: {response}");
    },
    error =>
    {
        Debug.LogError($"POST Request Failed.\nError: {error}");
    });

5. Perform a PUT Request

Update data at a specified URL using the PUT method.

// Example usage of PUT request
var putData = "{\"id\":1,\"title\":\"foo\",\"body\":\"bar\",\"userId\":1}";

EidolonRequest.Put(putUrl, putData, headers,
    response =>
    {
        Debug.Log($"PUT Request Successful.\nResponse: {response}");
    },
    error =>
    {
        Debug.LogError($"PUT Request Failed.\nError: {error}");
    });

6. Perform a DELETE Request

Remove data at a specified URL using the DELETE method.

// Example usage of DELETE request
EidolonRequest.Delete(deleteUrl, headers,
    response =>
    {
        Debug.Log($"DELETE Request Successful.\nResponse: {response}");
    },
    error =>
    {
        Debug.LogError($"DELETE Request Failed.\nError: {error}");
    });
