pathEnd

Signature

def pathEnd: Directive0

Description

Only passes the request to its inner route if the unmatched path of the RequestContextRequestContext is empty, i.e. the request path has been fully matched by a higher-level path or pathPrefix directive.

This directive is a simple alias for rawPathPrefix(PathEnd) and is mostly used on an inner-level to discriminate “path already fully matched” from other alternatives (see the example below). For a comparison between path directives check Overview of path directives.

Example

Scala
sourceval route =
  pathPrefix("foo") {
    concat(
      pathEnd {
        complete("/foo")
      },
      path("bar") {
        complete("/foo/bar")
      }
    )
  }

// tests:
Get("/foo") ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "/foo"
}

Get("/foo/") ~> route ~> check {
  handled shouldEqual false
}

Get("/foo/bar") ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "/foo/bar"
}
Java
sourcefinal Route route =
    concat(
        pathPrefix("foo", () ->
            concat(
                pathEnd(() -> complete("/foo")),
                path("bar", () -> complete("/foo/bar"))
            )
        )
    );

// tests:
testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/foo")).assertEntity("/foo");
testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/foo/")).assertStatusCode(StatusCodes.NOT_FOUND);
testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/foo/bar")).assertEntity("/foo/bar");
