io.pedestal.http.route

*print-routing-table*

dynamic

added in 0.7.0

If true, then the routing table is printed to the console at startup, and when it changes.

Defaults to dev-mode?.

decode-query-part

(decode-query-part string)

Decodes one key or value of URL-encoded UTF-8 characters in a URL query string.

encode-query-part

(encode-query-part string)

Encodes one key or value for a UTF-8 URL-encoded query string. Encodes space as +.

expand-routes

(expand-routes & route-specs)

Converts any number of route fragments into a fully expanded routing table.

Route fragments are created by route definitions (such as table-routes), or when data structures are implicitly converted (via the ExpandableRoutes protocol).

Returns a wrapper object with a :routes key; the routes themselves are verified to have unique route names (or an exception is thrown).

ExpandableRoutes

protocol

A protocol extended onto types that can be used to convert instances into a RoutingFragment. The fragments are combined into a routing table by expand-routes.

Built-in implementations map vectors to terse-routes, sets to table-routes, and maps to map-routes->vec-routes.

members

-expand-routes

(-expand-routes expandable-route-spec)

Generate and return a RoutingFragment from the data.

form-action-for-routes

(form-action-for-routes routing-table & default-options)

Like ‘url-for-routes’ but the returned function returns a map with the keys :action, the URL string; and :method, the HTTP verb as a lower-case string. Also, the :method-param is :_method by default, so HTTP verbs other than GET and POST will be converted to POST with the actual verb in the query string.

The routing-table is obtained from expand-routes.

is-routing-table?

added in 0.8.0

(is-routing-table? routing-table)

Returns true if the value is a routing table (as returned from expand-routes).

method-param

(method-param)(method-param query-param-or-param-path)

Returns an interceptor that smuggles HTTP verbs through a value in the request. This interceptor must come after the interceptor that populates that value (e.g. query-params or body-params).

query-param-or-param-path may be one of two things:

The path :query-params :_method is used by default.

parse-param-map

(parse-param-map m)

parse-path-params

(parse-path-params request)

parse-query-params

(parse-query-params request)

parse-query-string

(parse-query-string string & options)

Parses URL query string (not including the leading ‘?’) into1 a map. options are key-value pairs, valid options are:

:key-fn Function to call on parameter keys (after URL decoding), returns key for the map, default converts to a keyword.

:value-fn Function to call on the key (after passing through key-fn) and parameter value (after URL decoding), returns value for the map, default does nothing.

path-params-decoder

An Interceptor which URL-decodes path parameters. The path parameters are assoc’d into the :request map with key :path-parameters.

This will only operate once per interceptor chain execution, even if it appears multiple times; this prevents failures in existing applications that upgrade to Pedestal 0.6.0, as prior releases incorrectly failed to decode path parameters. Existing applications that upgrade may have this interceptor in some routes which will do nothing (since the path parameters will already have been decoded).

print-routes

(print-routes routing-table)

Prints a routing-table (from expand-routes) in an easier to read format.

query-params

An interceptor which parses query-string parameters from an HTTP request into a map. Keys in the map are query-string parameter names, as keywords, and values are strings. The map is assoc’d into the request with key :query-params.

router

(router routing-table)(router routing-table router-type)

Given the expanded routing table and, optionally, what kind of router to construct, creates and returns a router interceptor.

router-type may be a keyword identifying a known implementation (see router-implementations), or a function that accepts a seq of route maps, and returns a router function.

A router function will be passed the request map, and return nil, or a matching route.

The default router type is :map-tree, which is the fastest built-in router; however, if the expanded routes contain any path parameters or wildcards, the result is equivalent to the slower :prefix-tree implementation.

router-implementations

Maps from the common router implementations (:map-tree, :prefix-tree, :sawtooth, or :linear-search) to a router constructor function (which accepts a routing table, and returns a Router instance).

routes-from

macro

added in 0.7.0

(routes-from & route-exprs)

Wraps around one or more expressions that each provide a RoutingFragment.

In production mode (the default) evaluates to a call to expand-routes.

In development mode (see dev-mode?), evaluates to a function that, when invoked, returns the expressions passed to expand-routes; this is to support a REPL workflow. This works in combination with the extension of RouterSpecification onto Fn, which requires that the returned routing specification be expanded.

Further, when the expression is a non-local symbol, it is assumed to identify a Var holding the unexpanded routing specification; to avoid capturing the Var’s value, the expansion de-references the named Var before passing it to expand-routes.

try-routing-for

(try-routing-for routing-table router-type path verb)

Used for testing; constructs a router from the routing-table and router-type and performs routing on the provided path and verb (e.g., :get or :post).

Returns the matched route (a map from the routing table), or nil if routing was unsuccessful.

The matched route has an extra key, :path-params.

The routing-table is obtained from expand-routes.

url-for

(url-for route-name & options)

Used by an invoked interceptor (including a handler function) to generate URLs based on a known route name (from the routing specification), and additional data.

This uses a hidden dynamic variable, so it can only be invoked from request processing threads, and only after the routing interceptor has routed the request.

The available options are as described in url-for-routes.

url-for-routes

(url-for-routes routing-table & default-options)

Returns a function that generates URL routes (as strings) from the routing table. The returned function has the signature:

    [route-name & options]

Where options are key-value pairs:

Key Value Description
:app-name String Application name specified for this route
:request Map The original request; it will be merged into the generated link
:params Map A map of all parameters; any params not used as path parameters will be added to the query string
:path-params Map A map of path parameters only
:strict-path-params? Boolean When true will throw an exception if all path-params aren’t fulfilled for the URL
:query-params Map A map of query-string parameters only
:method-param Keyword Names the query-string parameter in which to place the HTTP method name (used when not :get or :post)
:context varied String, function that returns a string, or symbol that resolves to a function; specifies root context for the URL
:fragment String The fragment part of the URL
:absolute? Boolean True to force an absolute URL
:scheme :http or :https Used to override the scheme portion of the URL
:host String Used to override the host portion of the URL
:port Integer Used to override the port in the URL

In addition, you may supply default-options to the ‘url-for-routes’ function, which are merged with the options supplied to the returned function.
