An Erlang shell utility to make Curl requests, with serialized JSON output.
GET:
1> cerly:cerly("curl -X GET -H \"Accept: application/json\" https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1").
{ok,{[{<<"userId">>,1},
{<<"id">>,1},
{<<"title">>,
<<"sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit">>},
{<<"body">>,
<<"quia et suscipit\nsuscipit recusandae consequuntur expedita et cum\nreprehenderit "...>>}]}}POST:
1> cerly:cerly("curl -X POST -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -d \"{\"test\":\"test\"}\" https://hookb.in/veD6WrOX").
{ok,{[{<<"success">>,true}]}}First, clone the repository.
The easiest way to then compile is to install rebar3 and then run:
$ rebar3 compile
Assuming everything went well, you should now be able to access the cerly module in the Erlang shell. To test this, just run:
$ rebar3 shell
And then:
1> cerly:cerly("curl -X GET http://localhost").
"<html><body><h1>It works!</h1></body></html>\n"Only a handful of Curl arguments are supported now and only GET/POST requests.
