| 7 | +# KY |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The [KY library](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky) is a tiny wrapper over fetch providing a simpler API and some useful shortcuts. |
| 10 | +KY provides functionality allowing all requests & responses to be intercepted, exposing |
| 11 | +metadata which can be passed onto the Performance Monitoring library. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## Before Request Hook |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Before HTTP requests are sent out of the React Native environment, a number of functions can be called to modify or do things based on the current request. |
| 16 | +We can use this `beforeRequest` hook to create our HTTP metric. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +```js |
| 19 | +import perf from '@react-native-firebase/perf'; |
| 20 | +import ky from 'ky'; |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +const getContentLength = headers => { |
| 23 | + const length = getHeader('Content-Length', headers); |
| 24 | + return length ? Number(length) : null; |
| 25 | +}; |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +const getHeader = (header, headers) => headers.get(header) || headers.get(header.toLowerCase()); |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +const api = ky.create({ |
| 30 | + hooks: { |
| 31 | + beforeRequest: [ |
| 32 | + async (request, options) => { |
| 33 | + const { url, method } = request; |
| 34 | + options.metric = await perf().newHttpMetric(url, method); |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + // add any extra metric attributes, if required |
| 37 | + // options.metric.putAttribute('userId', '12345678'); |
| 38 | + // options.metric.setRequestPayloadSize(1234) |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + await options.metric.start(); |
| 41 | + }, |
| 42 | + ], |
| 43 | + }, |
| 44 | +}); |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +export default api; |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +This callback attaches the HTTP metric returned onto the request metadata, which can later be used on an |
| 50 | +incoming response. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## After Request Hook |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Similar to the before request hook, we can also hook into all responses from HTTP calls. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +```js |
| 57 | +import ky from 'ky'; |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +const getContentLength = headers => { |
| 60 | + const length = getHeader('Content-Length', headers); |
| 61 | + return length ? Number(length) : null; |
| 62 | +}; |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +const getHeader = (header, headers) => headers.get(header) || headers.get(header.toLowerCase()); |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +const api = ky.create({ |
| 67 | + hooks: { |
| 68 | + afterResponse: [ |
| 69 | + async (request, options, response) => { |
| 70 | + const { status, headers } = response; |
| 71 | + const { metric } = options; |
| 72 | + metric.setHttpResponseCode(status); |
| 73 | + metric.setResponseContentType(getHeader('Content-Type', headers)); |
| 74 | + metric.setResponsePayloadSize(getContentLength(headers)); |
| 75 | + await metric.stop(); |
| 76 | + }, |
| 77 | + ], |
| 78 | + }, |
| 79 | +}); |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +export default api; |
| 82 | +``` |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +All outbound requests sent from KY will appear in your Firebase console, detailing information such as |
| 85 | +how long the request took, response codes & more. Such data can give you greater insight into the performance of your application via any external APIs you may be using. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +## Full Example |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +A working example is provided below. Please adjust and extend according to your use case. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +```js |
| 92 | +import perf from '@react-native-firebase/perf'; |
| 93 | +import ky from 'ky'; |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +const getContentLength = headers => { |
| 96 | + const length = getHeader('Content-Length', headers); |
| 97 | + return length ? Number(length) : null; |
| 98 | +}; |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +const getHeader = (header, headers) => headers.get(header) || headers.get(header.toLowerCase()); |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +const api = ky.create({ |
| 103 | + // prevent circular dependency warning |
| 104 | + fetch: fetch, |
| 105 | + hooks: { |
| 106 | + beforeRequest: [ |
| 107 | + async (request, options) => { |
| 108 | + const { url, method } = request; |
| 109 | + options.metric = await perf().newHttpMetric(url, method); |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + // add any extra metric attributes, if required |
| 112 | + // options.metric.putAttribute('userId', '12345678'); |
| 113 | + // options.metric.setRequestPayloadSize(1234) |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | + await options.metric.start(); |
| 116 | + }, |
| 117 | + ], |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | + afterResponse: [ |
| 120 | + async (request, options, response) => { |
| 121 | + const { status, headers } = response; |
| 122 | + const { metric } = options; |
| 123 | + metric.setHttpResponseCode(status); |
| 124 | + metric.setResponseContentType(getHeader('Content-Type', headers)); |
| 125 | + metric.setResponsePayloadSize(getContentLength(headers)); |
| 126 | + await metric.stop(); |
| 127 | + }, |
| 128 | + ], |
| 129 | + }, |
| 130 | +}); |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +export default api; |
| 133 | +``` |
