Execute

Execute makes a request with the given context, method, URL, request params, response, and request options. This is useful for hitting undocumented endpoints while retaining the base URL, auth, retries, and other options from the client.

If a byte slice or an [io.Reader] is supplied to params, it will be used as-is for the request body.

The params is by default serialized into the body using [encoding/json]. If your type implements a MarshalJSON function, it will be used instead to serialize the request. If a URLQuery method is implemented, the returned [url.Values] will be used as query strings to the url.

If your params struct uses [param.Field], you must provide either [MarshalJSON], [URLQuery], and/or [MarshalForm] functions. It is undefined behavior to use a struct uses [param.Field] without specifying how it is serialized.

Any "…Params" object defined in this library can be used as the request argument. Note that 'path' arguments will not be forwarded into the url.

The response body will be deserialized into the res variable, depending on its type:

• A pointer to a [*http.Response] is populated by the raw response.
• A pointer to a byte array will be populated with the contents of the request body.
• A pointer to any other type uses this library's default JSON decoding, which respects UnmarshalJSON if it is defined on the type.
• A nil value will not read the response body.

For even greater flexibility, see [option.WithResponseInto] and [option.WithResponseBodyInto].
