standard response codes

Instance methods

accepts_formats

Extracts the mime types from the Accept header

Scanned by hand rather than split(";").flat_map(&.split(ACCEPT_SEPARATOR_REGEX)...). Every route that negotiates a content type runs this on every request, and the regex plus the intermediate arrays it built dominated the cost. Behaviour is unchanged, including that only a comma consumes the whitespace that follows it.

Macros

head(status)

only sends the header, no content to be sent.

you should only use render with the Macro DSL

delete "/:id", :destroy do
  MyModel.find(route_params["id"]).destroy
  head HTTP::Status::ACCEPTED
end

Source

redirect_to(path, status = :found)

redirects the browser to a new route

you should only use render with the Macro DSL

patch "/:id", :update do
  redirect_to "/#{params["id"]}"
end

Source

render(status = :ok, head = nil, json = nil, yaml = nil, xml = nil, html = nil, text = nil, binary = nil, template = nil, partial = nil, layout = nil)

used to stream a response back to the user, serializing directly to the IO

the content type is set appropriately based on the response type

a call to render implicitly executes a return as the response has been written to the client

you should only use render with the Macro DSL

get "/:id", :show do
  render json: MyModel.find(route_params["id"])
end

Source

respond_with(status = :ok, &block)

uses the content-type header to respond in the appropriate format

you should only use render with the Macro DSL

get "/:id", :show do
  model = MyModel.find(route_params["id"])

  respond_with do
    text model # calls to_s(response) on the object passed
    json model # calls to_json(response) on the object passed
    xml do     # can provide a block to perform additional processing too
      str = "<set_var>#{model.build_xml}</set_var>"
      XML.parse(str)
    end
  end
end
