## Installation

We offer maven and jitpack installations. Maven via bintray only has stable releases but jitpack can be used to build any branch, commit and version.

### Maven

You can [download](https://bintray.com/kittinunf/maven/Fuel-Android/_latestVersion) and install `Fuel` with `Maven` and `Gradle`. The core package has the following dependencies:

* Kotlin - [![Kotlin](https://img.shields.io/badge/Kotlin-1.4.10-blue.svg)](https://kotlinlang.org)
* [Result ](https://github.com/kittinunf/result/)- 3.1.0

```groovy
  //core
  implementation 'com.github.kittinunf.fuel:fuel:<latest-version>'
  
  //packages
  implementation 'com.github.kittinunf.fuel:<package>:<latest-version>'
```

Make sure to include `mavenCentral()` in your repositories (`jcenter()` is deprecated, new releases starting from 2.2.3 are hosted on `mavenCentral()`)

```groovy
repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}
```

Each of the extensions / integrations has to be installed separately.

### Jitpack

If you want a SNAPSHOT distribution, you can use [`Jitpack`](https://jitpack.io/#kittinunf/fuel)

```kotlin
repositories {
  maven(url = "https://www.jitpack.io") {
    name = "jitpack"
  }
}

dependencies {
  //core
  implementation(group = "com.github.kittinunf.fuel", name = "fuel", version = "-SNAPSHOT")
  
  //packages
  // replace <package> with the package name e.g. fuel-coroutines
  implementation(group = "com.github.kittinunf.fuel", name = "<package>", version = "-SNAPSHOT")
}
```

or

```kotlin
dependencies {
  //core and/or packages
  // replace <package> with the package name e.g. fuel-coroutines
  listof("fuel", "<package>").forEach {
    implementation(group = "com.github.kittinunf.fuel", name = it, version = "-SNAPSHOT")
  }
}
```

#### Configuration

* `group` is made up of `com.github` as well as username and project name
* `name` is the subproject, this may be any of the packages listed in the [installation instructions](https://github.com/kittinunf/fuel#installation) eg. `fuel`, `fuel-coroutines`, `fuel-kotlinx-serialization`, etc
* `version` can be the latest `master-SMAPSHOT` or `-SNAPSHOT` which always points at the HEAD or any other branch, tag or commit hash, e.g. as listed on [jitpack.io](https://jitpack.io/#kittinunf/fuel).

We recommend *not* using `SNAPSHOT` builds, but a specific commit in a specific branch (like a commit on master), because your build will then be stable.

#### Build time-out

Have patience when updating the version of fuel or building for the first time as jitpack will build it, and this may cause the request to jitpack to time out. Wait a few minutes and try again (or check the status on jitpack).

**NOTE:** do *not* forget to add the `kotlinx` repository when using `coroutines` or `serialization`

### Forks

Jitpack.io also allows to build from `fuel` forks. If a fork's username is `$yourname`,

* adjust `group` to `com.github.$yourName.fuel`
* and look for `version` on `https://jitpack.io/#$yourName/Fuel`

## Quick start

Fuel requests can be made on the `Fuel` namespace object, any `FuelManager` or using one of the `String` extension methods. If you specify a callback the call is `async`, if you don't it's `blocking`.

#### Async Usage Example

```kotlin
import com.github.kittinunf.fuel.httpGet
import com.github.kittinunf.result.Result

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

    val httpAsync = "https://httpbin.org/get"
        .httpGet()
        .responseString { request, response, result ->
            when (result) {
                is Result.Failure -> {
                    val ex = result.getException()
                    println(ex)
                }
                is Result.Success -> {
                    val data = result.get()
                    println(data)
                }
            }
        }

    httpAsync.join()
}
```

#### Blocking Usage Example

```kotlin
import com.github.kittinunf.fuel.httpGet
import com.github.kittinunf.result.Result;

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

    val (request, response, result) = "https://httpbin.org/get"
        .httpGet()
        .responseString()

    when (result) {
        is Result.Failure -> {
            val ex = result.getException()
            println(ex)
        }
        is Result.Success -> {
            val data = result.get()
            println(data)
        }
    }

}

// You can also use Fuel.get("https://httpbin.org/get").responseString { ... }
// You can also use FuelManager.instance.get("...").responseString { ... }
```

`Fuel` and the extension methods use the `FuelManager.instance` under the hood. You can use this FuelManager to change the default behaviour of all requests:

```kotlin
FuelManager.instance.basePath = "https://httpbin.org"

"/get"
  .httpGet()
  .responseString { request, response, result -> /*...*/ }
// This is a GET request to "https://httpbin.org/get"
```
