Introduction to curlconverter

curlconverter is a powerful tool designed to convert cURL commands into code in various programming languages. It supports a multitude of languages including Python, JavaScript, PHP, Go, and many more. This utility can significantly streamline your workflow by allowing you to quickly translate raw cURL commands into fully functional code snippets ready for integration with your applications.

Getting Started with curlconverter

Before diving into usage examples, make sure you have curlconverter installed. You can easily install it via npm:

  npm install curlconverter

API Usage Examples

1. JavaScript Example

  const curlconverter = require('curlconverter');

  const curl = `curl -X POST https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts \\
    -H 'Content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' \\
    -d '{"title": "foo", "body": "bar", "userId": 1}'`;

  console.log(curlconverter.toNode(curl));

2. Python Example

  import curlconverter

  curl = """
  curl -X GET "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"
  """

  print(curlconverter.toPython(curl))

3. PHP Example

  require 'curlconverter.php';

  $curl = "curl -X PUT 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1' -H 'Content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' -d '{\"id\": 1, \"title\": \"foo\", \"body\": \"bar\", \"userId\": 1}'";

  echo curlconverter\toPhp($curl);

Advanced API Integration

4. Go Example

  package main

  import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/curlconverter/go"
  )

  func main() {
    curl := `curl -X DELETE "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"`
    fmt.Println(curlconverter.ToGo(curl))
  }

Building an Application with curlconverter

Let’s create a simple Node.js application that makes several API calls using curlconverter-generated code snippets.

  const axios = require('axios');
  const curlconverter = require('curlconverter');

  const getPost = async (id) => {
    const curl = `curl -X GET "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/${id}"`;
    const code = curlconverter.toNode(curl);
    console.log("Getting post:", code);

    const response = await axios.get(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/${id}`);
    console.log(response.data);
  };

  const createPost = async () => {
    const curl = `curl -X POST https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts \\
      -H 'Content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' \\
      -d '{"title": "foo", "body": "bar", "userId": 1}'`;
    const code = curlconverter.toNode(curl);
    console.log("Creating post:", code);

    const response = await axios.post('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', {
      title: 'foo',
      body: 'bar',
      userId: 1
    });
    console.log(response.data);
  };

  const updatePost = async (id) => {
    const curl = `curl -X PUT 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/${id}' \\
      -H 'Content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' \\
      -d '{"title": "foo", "body": "bar", "userId": 1}'`;
    const code = curlconverter.toNode(curl);
    console.log("Updating post:", code);

    const response = await axios.put(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/${id}`, {
      title: 'foo',
      body: 'bar',
      userId: 1
    });
    console.log(response.data);
  };

  const deletePost = async (id) => {
    const curl = `curl -X DELETE "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/${id}"`;
    const code = curlconverter.toNode(curl);
    console.log("Deleting post:", code);

    const response = await axios.delete(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/${id}`);
    console.log(response.status);
  };

  getPost(1);
  createPost();
  updatePost(1);
  deletePost(1);

By leveraging curlconverter, you’re able to efficiently translate cURL commands into actual code snippets for your specific language, thus speeding up the development process and reducing the chance of errors.

Happy coding!
