Add a Query Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddQueryParam, which adds or replaces a query-string parameter. The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value; Chilkat URL-encodes both as needed.

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  final rest = CkRest();

  // Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
  // and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
  final bTls = true;
  final bAutoReconnect = true;
  try {
    rest.connect('example.com', 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Add query-string parameters.  The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value.
  // Chilkat automatically URL-encodes names and values as needed.
  rest.addQueryParam('q', 'chilkat rest');
  rest.addQueryParam('limit', '10');

  // For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
  final String responseText;
  try {
    responseText = rest.fullRequestNoBody('GET', '/api/search');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print(responseText);
