S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Before we start sending requests,
0:04
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
it's important to understand the anatomy of an HTTP request.
0:07
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Because a HTTP request is made up of a couple of core
0:12
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
parts, which we'll all have a look at in this module here when it comes to configuring
0:16
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
them when sending a request.
0:18
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
The most important part about a request,
0:21
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
of course, is the URL you're sending the request to.
0:24
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
That's also called the API endpoint.
0:26
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
And it is something like yourdomain .com slash posts slash
0:30
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
one, for example.
0:31
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
The exact path here,
0:33
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
of course,
0:34
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
depends on the API you're interacting with.
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
However,
0:37
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
when communicating with a RESTful API,
0:39
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
it's not just about the URL,
0:41
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
but also about the HTTP verb you're using.
0:44
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Something like post,
0:45
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
get,
0:46
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
This defines which kind of request you wanna send to that endpoint.
0:50
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Do you want to store new data?
0:52
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Do you want to fetch data?
0:53
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Do you want to replace existing data?
0:55
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
The HTTP verb makes that clear.
0:57
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
But it always depends on the API you're working with,
1:00
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
which endpoints and which verbs for these endpoints are available.
1:04
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
So the official docs for the API is always the place to go.
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Unless you're of course writing your own API,
1:10
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
in which case you of course know which endpoint supports which operations.
1:14
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Now, when we're sending a request,
1:16
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
it's nice to know where and how to send it to that place,
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
but you often also need to set additional metadata,
1:22
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
the so -called headers of a request.
1:25
S… Speaker 2 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Now,
1:25
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
these are kind of optional or to be precise,
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
some default headers will be appended to a request for you by the browser
1:32
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
and by Angular,
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
but you can also append your own headers and that is therefore also
1:37
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
something we'll have a look at.
1:39
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Now, last but not least,
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
for some HTTP verbs,
1:43
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
you can also add a body to your request.
1:46
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
That's the core data that is attached to a request.
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
For example,
1:50
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
if you are sending a post request to create a new piece of data
1:54
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
on the server,
1:54
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
well,
1:55
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
then of course you should attach the information about that piece of data to your request
1:59
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
and you would do that in the request body.
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Therefore,
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
a request body can be set on post,
2:04
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
put and patch requests,
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
which are requests that do alter data on the server by adding
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
or replacing it.
2:11
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Now that's the general anatomy of a HTTP request.
2:14
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
Let's now have a look at how Angular helps us with writing
2:18
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
or with creating such requests,
2:20
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
how we can work with them,
2:21
S… Speaker 1 (257. The Anatomy of a Http Request)
how we can work with the response and what else Angular has to offer.
