# CurlReq

<!-- MDOC !-->

Req is awesome, but the world speaks curl.

Next time you're debugging a 3rd party API and need to ask for support, you can just toss in this line:

```elixir
|> CurlReq.inspect()
```

And you'll have the full curl command.

```elixir
# Turn a Req request into a `curl` command.

iex> Req.new(url: "/fact", base_url: "https://catfact.ninja/")
...> |> CurlReq.to_curl()
"curl -H \"accept-encoding: gzip\" -H \"user-agent: req/0.4.14\" -X GET https://catfact.ninja/fact" 

# Or use `CurlReq.inspect/2` to inspect inline.

iex> Req.new(url: "/fact", base_url: "https://catfact.nijna/")
...> |> CurlReq.inspect(label: "MY REQ")
...> # |> Req.request!()

```

`CurlReq` also implements the `~CURL` sigil, which converts a curl command to its corresponding Req request.

```elixir
iex> import CurlReq
...> ~CURL(curl https://www.google.com)
...> # |> Req.request!()

```

## Installation

The package can be installed
by adding `curl_req` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:curl_req, "~> 0.98.0"}
  ]
end
```

The docs can be found at <https://hexdocs.pm/curl_req>.
