mapResponseEntity

Signature

def mapResponseEntity(f: ResponseEntity => ResponseEntity): Directive0

Description

The mapResponseEntity directive is used as a building block for Custom Directives to transform a response entity that was generated by the inner route.

See Response Transforming Directives for similar directives.

Example

Scala

sourcedef prefixEntity(entity: ResponseEntity): ResponseEntity = entity match {
  case HttpEntity.Strict(contentType, data) =>
    HttpEntity.Strict(contentType, ByteString("test") ++ data)
  case _ => throw new IllegalStateException("Unexpected entity type")
}

val prefixWithTest: Directive0 = mapResponseEntity(prefixEntity)
val route = prefixWithTest(complete("abc"))

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

Java

sourceimport static akka.http.javadsl.server.Directives.mapResponseEntity;

final Function<ResponseEntity, ResponseEntity> prefixEntity = entity -> {
  if (entity instanceof HttpEntity.Strict) {
    final HttpEntity.Strict strict = (HttpEntity.Strict) entity;
    return HttpEntities.create(
      strict.getContentType(),
      ByteString.fromString("test").concat(strict.getData()));
  } else {
    throw new IllegalStateException("Unexpected entity type");
  }
};

final Route route = mapResponseEntity(prefixEntity, () -> complete("abc"));

testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/"))
  .assertEntity("testabc");
