recoverRejectionsWith

Signature

def recoverRejectionsWith(f: immutable.Seq[Rejection] => Future[RouteResult]): Directive0

Description

Low level directive – unless you’re sure you need to be working on this low-level you might instead want to try the handleRejections directive which provides a nicer DSL for building rejection handlers.

Transforms rejections from the inner route with an immutable.Seq[Rejection] => Future[RouteResult] functiona Function<Iterable<Rejection>, CompletionStage<RouteResult>>.

Asynchronous version of recoverRejections.

See recoverRejections (the synchronous equivalent of this directive) for a detailed description.

Note

To learn more about how and why rejections work read the Rejections section of the documentation.

Example

Scala
sourceval authRejectionsToNothingToSeeHere = recoverRejectionsWith { rejections =>
  Future {
    // imagine checking rejections takes a longer time:
    if (rejections.exists(_.isInstanceOf[AuthenticationFailedRejection]))
      Complete(HttpResponse(entity = "Nothing to see here, move along."))
    else
      Rejected(rejections)
  }
}
val neverAuth: Authenticator[String] = creds => None

val route =
  authRejectionsToNothingToSeeHere {
    pathPrefix("auth") {
      path("never") {
        authenticateBasic("my-realm", neverAuth) { user =>
          complete("Welcome to the bat-cave!")
        }
      }
    }
  }

// tests:
Get("/auth/never") ~> route ~> check {
  status shouldEqual StatusCodes.OK
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Nothing to see here, move along."
}
