Class RoutingDsl

java.lang.Object

play.routing.RoutingDsl

public class RoutingDsl
extends java.lang.Object

A DSL for building a router. This DSL matches requests based on method and a path pattern, and is able to extract up to three parameters out of the path pattern to pass into lambdas. The passed in lambdas may optionally declare the types of the input parameters. If they don't, the JVM will infer a type of Object, but the parameters themselves are passed in as Strings. Supported types are java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Long, java.lang.Float, java.lang.Double, java.lang.Boolean, and any class that extends play.mvc.PathBindable. The router will attempt to decode parameters using a PathBindable for each of those types, if it fails it will return a 400 error. Example usage:

 import javax.inject.*;
 import play.mvc.*;
 import play.routing.*;
 import play.libs.json.*;
 import play.api.routing.Router;

 public class MyRouterBuilder extends Controller {

   private final RoutingDsl routingDsl;

   \@Inject
   public MyRouterBuilder(RoutingDsl routingDsl) {
     this.routingDsl = routingDsl;
   }

   public Router getRouter() {
     return this.routingDsl

       .GET("/hello/:to").routeTo(to -> ok("Hello " + to))

       .POST("/api/items/:id").routeAsync((Integer id) -> {
         return Items.save(id,
           Json.fromJson(request().body().asJson(), Item.class)
         ).map(result -> ok("Saved item with id " + id));
       })

       .build();
   }
 }
 

The path pattern supports three different types of parameters, path segment parameters, prefixed with :, full path parameters, prefixed with *, and regular expression parameters, prefixed with $ and post fixed with a regular expression in angled braces.
