Client Helper

A helper can prepare requests consistently without sending them.

client_helper.go

package main

import "fmt"

type apiRequest struct {
	Method  string
	URL     string
	Headers map[string]string
}

func buildAPIRequest(path string, token string) apiRequest {
	url := "https://api.example.test" + path
	headers := map[string]string{
		"Authorization": "Bearer " + token,
	}
	return apiRequest{Method: "GET", URL: url, Headers: headers}
}

func main() {
	var path = 
	request := buildAPIRequest(path, "demo-token")

	fmt.Println("path=", path)
	fmt.Println("method=", request.Method)
	fmt.Println("url=", request.URL)
	fmt.Println("hasAuth=", request.Headers["Authorization"] != "")
}

package main

	Method  string

helper function A small helper can centralize URL, method, and header setup for client code.
