optionalHeaderValuePF

optionalHeaderValuePF

Description

Calls the specified partial function with the first request header the function is isDefinedAt and extracts the result of calling the function.

The optionalHeaderValuePF directive is similar to the headerValuePF directive but always extracts an Optional value instead of rejecting the request if no matching header could be found.

Example

final PartialFunction<HttpHeader, Integer> extractHostPort =
    new JavaPartialFunction<HttpHeader, Integer>() {
  @Override
  public Integer apply(HttpHeader x, boolean isCheck) throws Exception {
    if (x instanceof Host) {
      if (isCheck) {
        return null;
      } else {
        return ((Host) x).port();
      }
    } else {
      throw noMatch();
    }
  }
};

final Route route = optionalHeaderValuePF(extractHostPort, port -> {
  if (port.isPresent()) {
    return complete("The port was " + port.get());
  } else {
    return complete("The port was not provided explicitly");
  }
});

// tests:
testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/").addHeader(Host.create("example.com", 5043)))
                .assertEntity("The port was 5043");

testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/"))
                .assertEntity("The port was not provided explicitly");
