Handle empty body for Delete method and have a valid Result object

Feature Request

Description

I try to do a request delete HTTP method in a coroutine. My api return an empty body for a delete but I would like to receive a com.github.kittinunf.result.Result after a call of Request.awaitObjectResult(). I know I shouldn’t use this class request method because my body is empty so I can’t deserialize nothing but I use your Result class to check if my request is a success or not. I can work around the problem by returning a Result<ByteArray, FuelError> but for me it doesn’t make sense when you read it.

Proposed Solution

Maybe a new awaitResult extension method for Request that return a Result and doesn’t take any serializer as a parameter.

Alternatives I’ve considered

Do nothing and use Result<ByteArray, FuelError>

Additional context

I may make a mistake or have missed something

🤔 Can you provide some sort of “dummy” Deserializable? Like

object UnitDeserializable : Deserializable<Unit> {
    fun deserialize(response: Response) = Unit
}

Then, pass it into your awaitObjectResult?

It is probably nice if we can provide awaitObjectResult(), but I feel it is too specific to this use-case.

Oh 😮. It was so simple. Sorry about that. Thank you very much ! Yes, I also think it’s too specific. Besides, you just showed me that there’s no need to do too much.
