# getString static method

Future<String> getString(

1. String url, {
2. bool? withCredentials,
3. void onProgress(
   1. ProgressEvent e
   )?,

})

Creates a GET request for the specified `url`.

This is similar to request but specialized for HTTP GET requests which return text content.

To add query parameters, append them to the `url` following a `?`, joining each key to its value with `=` and separating key-value pairs with `&`.

    var name = Uri.encodeQueryComponent('John');
    var id = Uri.encodeQueryComponent('42');
    HttpRequest.getString('users.json?name=$name&id=$id')
      .then((String resp) {
        // Do something with the response.
    });

## Implementation

    static Future<String> getString(
      String url, {
      bool? withCredentials,
      void onProgress(ProgressEvent e)?,
    }) {
      return request(
        url,
        withCredentials: withCredentials,
        onProgress: onProgress,
      ).then((HttpRequest xhr) => xhr.responseText!);
    }
