Method Body

rest/request.go:377–412

Body makes the request use obj as the body. Optional. If obj is a string, try to read a file of that name. If obj is a []byte, send it directly. If obj is an io.Reader, use it directly. If obj is a runtime.Object, marshal it correctly, and set Content-Type header. If obj is a runtime.Object and nil,

(obj interface{})

// If obj is a runtime.Object and nil, do nothing.
// Otherwise, set an error.
func (r *Request) Body(obj interface{}) *Request {
	if r.err != nil {
		return r
	}
	switch t := obj.(type) {
	case string:
		data, err := ioutil.ReadFile(t)
		if err != nil {
			r.err = err
			return r
		}
		glogBody("Request Body", data)
		r.body = bytes.NewReader(data)
	case []byte:
		glogBody("Request Body", t)
		r.body = bytes.NewReader(t)
	case io.Reader:
		r.body = t
	case runtime.Object:
		// callers may pass typed interface pointers, therefore we must check nil with reflection
		if reflect.ValueOf(t).IsNil() {
			return r
		}
		data, err := runtime.Encode(r.serializers.Encoder, t)
		if err != nil {
			r.err = err
			return r
		}
		glogBody("Request Body", data)
		r.body = bytes.NewReader(data)
		r.SetHeader("Content-Type", r.content.ContentType)
	default:
		r.err = fmt.Errorf("unknown type used for body: %+v", obj)
	}
	return r
}

// Context adds a context to the request. Contexts are only used for
// timeouts, deadlines, and cancellations.
