FlueFlameHttpHost Configuration

FlueFlameHttpHostBuilder is used to create IFlueFlameHttpHost:

csharp
var host = new FlueFlameHttpHostBuilder().Build();

HttpClient Configuration

With the ConfigureHttpClient method, you have full access to HttpClient and can configure it however you like.

csharp
var host = new FlueFlameHttpHostBuilder()
	.ConfigureHttpClient(client =>
	{
		//Base adress
		client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:1234/");
		
		//JWT Authorization token
		client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization =
			new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...");
		
		//Timeout
		client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2);
	})
	.Build();

Custom HttpClient

If you have your own HttpClient you can force FlueFlame to use it:

csharp
var client = new HttpClient()
{
};

var host = new FlueFlameHttpHostBuilder()
	.UseCustomHttpClient(client)
	.Build();

Serializers

By default FlueFlame uses System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer and System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer.

It may be more convenient for you to use a different serializer.

For example, to use Newtonsoft.Json you can install the FlueFlame.Serialization.Newtonsoft package:

csharp
var host = new FlueFlameHttpHostBuilder()
	.UseNewtonsoftJsonSerializer()
	.Build();

To use all other serializers, you will have to implement the IJsonSerializer or IXmlSerializer interface.

Consider an example of the Newtonsoft.Json serializer, how you can use your own serializer. Сreate the NewtonsoftJsonSerializer class:

csharp
public class NewtonsoftJsonSerializer : IJsonSerializer
{
    private readonly JsonSerializerSettings _settings;
    public NewtonsoftJsonSerializer(JsonSerializerSettings settings = null)
    {
        _settings = settings;
    }
    public T DeserializeObject<T>(string response)
    {
        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(response, _settings);
    }
    public string SerializeObject(object value)
    {
        return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value, _settings);
    }
}

And pass its instance to the UseCustomJsonSerializer method:

csharp
var serializer = new NewtonsoftJsonSerializer(new JsonSerializerSettings()
{
	Formatting = Formatting.Indented
});

var host = new FlueFlameHttpHostBuilder()
	.UseCustomJsonSerializer(serializer)
	.Build();
