204 response from API

[simonh1000]

Ok, I will split up the functions a little more

[simonh1000]

have you tried

emptyDecoder : Json.Decoder String
emptyDecoder =
    Json.succeed "true"

If that does not work, then you have to build your request object yourself. For example

let 
  req = createRequest method token url body (Json.succeed "")
  req_ = { req | expect = Http.expectString }
...

Thanks for the response @simonh1000

Json.succeed "true" doesn't work, can you prove the full example for building a request object? What needs to be in the in part of the let block?

See https://github.com/simonh1000/elm-jwt/blob/master/src/Jwt.elm#L190 and use expectText instead

I'm having the same issue for DELETE requests where the response obviously has no body.

See https://github.com/simonh1000/elm-jwt/blob/master/examples/phoenix/web/elm/App.elm#L323 for example of how I would now tackle this issue with the 5.0.0 release of elm-jwt

I'm not 100% percent sure, but I think using (Json.succeed "") will not work. Before the decoder is even applied to the response, JSON.parse() is called because the expectJson part is still hardcoded in the request creation method. But the JSON parsing will fail for an empty response. I think the solution would be not to assume that the response contains any kind of JSON and remove the expectJson from the function.

[simonh1000]

I'm going to remove the expectJson as this is a library for accessing an authenticated REST API. But the change I published yesterday makes it quite possible to change the expect to something else.
