gleam add gleam_fetch@1 gleam_http

import gleam/fetch
import gleam/http/request
import gleam/http/response
import gleam/javascript/promise

pub fn main() {
  let assert Ok(req) = request.to("https://example.com")

  // Send the HTTP request to the server
  use resp <- promise.try_await(fetch.send(req))
  use resp <- promise.try_await(fetch.read_text_body(resp))

  // We get a response record back
  resp.status
  // -> 200

  response.get_header(resp, "content-type")
  // -> Ok("text/html; charset=UTF-8")

  promise.resolve(Ok(Nil))
}

Warning

If you are running your Gleam project on the Erlang target (the default for new Gleam projects) then you will want to use a different library which can run on Erlang, such as gleam_httpc.
