patch

Description

This directive filters the incoming request by its HTTP method. Only requests with method PATCH are passed on to the inner route. All others are rejected with a MethodRejection, which is translated into a 405 Method Not Allowed response by the default RejectionHandler.

Example

final Route route = patch(() -> complete("This is a PATCH request."));

testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.PATCH("/").withEntity("patch content"))
    .assertEntity("This is a PATCH request.");
