Runtime & HTTP – Contentstack Dart SDK

When to use

  • Changing how requests are built or executed
  • Working with http, headers, hosts/regions, or error mapping from responses
  • Adjusting runtime dependencies (pubspec.yaml) or environment loading (dotenv)

Instructions

HTTP stack

  • HTTP calls use the http package—keep usage consistent with Dart async/await patterns elsewhere in lib/src/
  • Do not introduce an alternate HTTP client for the same code paths without team agreement

Configuration

  • dotenv is used in tests and may be used for local/dev configuration—never commit real credentials (../testing/SKILL.md)
  • path and file support path handling where needed; keep imports minimal

Logging

  • logger is a dependency; avoid logging sensitive tokens or full auth headers

Packaging

Retries and resilience

  • If adding retries, backoff, or timeouts, document behavior in public API or internal modules and add tests where feasible
