            },
        },
    }

Http POST request with bearer token authentication

type user struct {
    FirstName string `json:"firstName"`
    LastName  string `json:"lastName"`
}

user := user{
    FirstName: "foo",
    LastName:  "bar",
}

userBytes, _ := json.Marshal(user)

req := Request{
        Url:     "http://localhost:8080/auth/bearer_token/users",
        Method:  http.MethodPost,
        Body: userBytes,
        Timeout: 10,
        Auth:    &Auth{
            BearerToken: &AuthBearerToken{
                Token: "token",
            },
        },
    }

req := Request{
        Url:     "http://localhost:8080/auth/custom/users",
        Method:  http.MethodGet,
        Timeout: 10,
        Auth: &Auth{

                "my_custom_header": "header val",
            },
        },
    }

Make the http request using above request object as follows

resp, err := send(&req)
if err != nil {
    fmt.println(err)
}

var data []map[string]interface{}
err = json.Unmarshal(respBytes, &data)
if err != nil {
    fmt.println(err)
}

fmt.println(data)
