This Haskell library wraps Network.Wreq to use the functions without Strings.
You can use:
- Data.Text
- Data.Text.Lazy
- Data.ByteString.UTF8
- Data.ByteString.Layz.UTF8
for all functions from Network.Wreq where the original implementation use Strings.
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} module Main where import qualified Data.Text as T import Lens.Micro.Extras (view) import qualified Network.Wreq as Wreq import qualified Network.Wreq.StringLess as Wreq' -- say we use a alternate prelude like 'Protolude', and we don't use Strings -- or we have the url from somewhere else, and it's not a String. url :: T.Text url = "http://httpbin.org" main :: IO () main = do -- with plain wreq view Wreq.responseStatus <$> Wreq.get (T.unpack url) >>= print -- with wreq-stringless - no manual conversion necessary view Wreq'.responseStatus <$> Wreq'.get url >>= print - replace your wreq dependency with wreq-stringless
- replace the import Network.Wreq with Network.Wreq.StringLess
