Description

Version: 0.20.0

The fetching logic in waspc/cli/src/Wasp/Cli/Command/News/Fetching.hs contains patterns applicable beyond just news fetching. We should extract it to something like Wasp.Util.Network.HTTP and use it acorss the codebase.

Examples of files with similar patterns that could use this module:

  • waspc/cli/src/Wasp/Cli/Archive.hs
  • waspc/src/Wasp/AI/OpenAI/ChatGPT.hs
  • waspc/cli/src/Wasp/Cli/Command/Telemetry/Project.hs
  • waspc/cli/src/Wasp/Cli/GithubRepo.hs
  • waspc/src/Wasp/AI/CodeAgent.hs

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Fetching.hs file to identify reusable HTTP functions, then create a new module Wasp.Util.Network.HTTP, and update each of the listed files to use it.
