Which platform is https://www.roc-lang.org/#code-sample supposed to run in? I can't seem to find the Http.get function

checkout the full example here for Http imports https://www.roc-lang.org/examples/Tasks/README.html

I think Http.get may be a deliberate simplification for educational sake

JRI98 (Dec 04 2023 at 16:36):

Oh ok. If that is the case now it makes sense :smile:

Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 04 2023 at 16:45):

basic-cli does have http capabilities in general though

Anton (Dec 04 2023 at 16:57):

You'll also need the JSON package btw, example.

Now we have basic-webserver I could add an example that uses that to encode/decode JSON for a simple API.
