# πͺΆ wispie
[](https://hex.pm/packages/wispie)
[](https://hexdocs.pm/wispie/)
A tiny Gleam library for rendering [π§ wisp](https://hex.pm/packages/wisp) **HTTP responses** into readable text snapshots.
Designed for use with [π¦ββ¬ birdie](https://hex.pm/packages/birdie) snapshot testing,
but also handy for **debugging** and **logging**.
## β¨ Features
- Converts `response.Response(wisp.Body)` into a nicely formatted string.
- Includes status, headers, and body β all in one view.
- Automatically detects and formats body content:
- `wisp.Text` β pretty-printed based on content type (`application/json`, `text/html`, etc.)
- `wisp.Bytes` β UTF-8 decoded when possible.
- `wisp.File` β compact file reference with offset and limit.
- Integrates seamlessly with **Birdie snapshot tests**.
- Uses [`contenty`](https://hex.pm/packages/contenty) for robust `Content-Type` parsing.
## π§© Installation
```sh
gleam add wispie@1
```
## π Usage
```gleam
import gleam/http/response
import wisp
import wispie
import birdie
pub fn json_response_snapshot__test() {
let response_body =
"
{
\"id\": \"123\",
\"name\": \"John Doe\"
}
"
let response = wisp.json_response(response_body, 201)
response
|> wispie.response_to_string
|> birdie.snap("json_response")
}
```
produces a clean snapshot like
```
201
content-type: application/json
{
"id": "123",
"name": "John Doe"
}
```
Further documentation can be found at <https://hexdocs.pm/wispie>.
## π§βπ» Development

```
