io.pedestal.interceptor.helpers

deprecated in 0.6.0

A collection of interceptor helpers.

The usage of the Interceptor API is preferred over the macros defined in this namespace. Usage of the macro helpers should be limited to cases where you are porting an existing Pedestal code base.

The helper macros predate the interceptor API and can break AOT compilation but they are maintained for backwards compatibility. Refer to https://github.com/pedestal/pedestal/issues/308 and https://github.com/pedestal/pedestal/pull/301 for more details about macro helper issues and the rationale for the Interceptor API.

This namespace has been effectively deprecated since 2016, and is fully deprecated in release 0.6.0.

after

(after f)(after f & args)

Return an interceptor which calls f on context during the leave stage.

around

(around f1 f2)(around n f1 f2)

Return an interceptor which calls f1 on context during the enter stage, and calls f2 on context during the leave stage.

before

(before f)(before f & args)

Returns an interceptor which calls f on context during the enter stage.

defafter

macro

(defafter macro-name__14831__auto__ & args__14832__auto__)

Defines an after interceptor. The defined function is processed during the leave stage of interceptor execution. The implicitly created function will operate on context, and return a value used as the new context, e.g.:

(defafter check-zotted context (if-not (:zotted context) (throw (ex-info “Context was not zotted!” {:context context})) context))

defaround

macro

(defaround n & args)

Defines an around interceptor. The definition resembles a multiple arity function definition, however both fns are 1-arity. The first fn will be called during the enter stage, the second during the leave stage, e.g.:

(defaround aroundinterceptor (context(assoc context :around :entering)) (context(assoc context :around :leaving)))

defbefore

macro

(defbefore macro-name__14831__auto__ & args__14832__auto__)

Defines a before interceptor. The defined function performs processing during interceptor execution during the enter stage. The implicitly created function will operate on context, and return a value used as the new context, e.g.:

(defbefore flag-zotted context (assoc context :zotted true))

defhandler

macro

(defhandler macro-name__14831__auto__ & args__14832__auto__)

Defines a handler interceptor. The definition mirrors a ring-style request handler and is made in terms of a ring style request. The implicitly created interceptor will extract the request from the context it receives, pass it to the defined function, and then associate the return value from the defined function as into context with the :response key and return context, e.g.:

(defhandler hello-name request (ring.util.response/response (str "Hello, " (-> request :params :name))))

This is equivalent to:

(defbefore hello-name context (let request (:request context) response (ring.util.response/response (str "Hello, " (-> request :params :name))) (assoc context :response response)))

definterceptor

macro

deprecated in 0.6.0

(definterceptor name & body)

Define an instance of an interceptor and store it in a var. An optional doc string can be provided. The body can be anything that satisfies the IntoInterceptor protocol.

usage: (definterceptor encode-response “An interceptor that encodes the response as json” (on-response encode-json))

Alternatively, you may also: (def encode-response “An interceptor that encodes the response as json” (on-response encode-json)

defmiddleware

macro

(defmiddleware n & args)

Defines a middleware interceptor. The definition resembles a multiple arity function definition, however both fns are 1-arity. The first fn will be called during the enter stage with the value of the :request key in the context, the second during the leave stage with the response key in the context, e.g.:

(defmiddleware middleware-interceptor (request(assoc request :middleware :on-request)) (response(assoc response :middleware :on-response)))

defon-request

macro

(defon-request macro-name__14831__auto__ & args__14832__auto__)

Defines an on-request interceptor. The definition performs pre-processing on a request during the enter stage of interceptor execution. The implicitly created interceptor will extract the request from the context it receives, pass it to the defined function, and then associate the return value from the defined function as into context with the :request key and return context, e.g.:

(defon-request parse-body-as-wibblefish request (assoc request :wibblefish-params (wibblefish-parse (:body request))))

This is equivalent to:

(defbefore parse-body-as-wibblefish context (let request (:request context) new-request (assoc request :wibblefish-params (wibblefish-parse (:body request))) (assoc context :request new-request)))

defon-response

macro

(defon-response macro-name__14831__auto__ & args__14832__auto__)

Defines an on-response interceptor. The definition performs post processing on a response during the leave stage of interceptor execution. The implicitly created interceptor will extract the response from the context it receives, pass it to the defined function, and then associate the return value from the defined function into context with the :response key and return context, e.g.:

(defon-response change-body-to-html response (assoc response :body (render-to-html (:body response))))

This is equivalent to:

(defafter change-body-to-html context (let response (:response context) new-response (assoc response :body (render-to-html (:body response))) (assoc context :response new-response)))

handler

(handler f)(handler n f)

Returns an interceptor which calls f on the :request value of context, and assoc’s the return value as :response into context during the enter stage.

infer-rest-interceptor-function

(infer-rest-interceptor-function args)

Given list args, return the rest of args that would remain after removing the elements of args that specify the form returned by infer-first-interceptor-function.

middleware

(middleware f1 f2)(middleware n f1 f2)

Returns an interceptor which calls f1 on the :request value of context during the enter stage, and f2 on the :response value of context during the leave stage.

on-request

(on-request f)(on-request f & args)

Returns an interceptor which updates the :request value of context with f during the enter stage.

on-response

(on-response f)(on-response f & args)

Returns an interceptor which updates the :response value of context with f during the leave stage.
