options

Matches requests with HTTP method OPTIONS.

def options: Directive0

Description

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

Example

Scala

val route = options { complete("This is an OPTIONS request.") }

// tests:
Options("/") ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "This is an OPTIONS request."
}

Java

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

testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.OPTIONS("/")).assertEntity(
    "This is a OPTIONS request.");
