recoverRejections

def recoverRejections(f: immutable.Seq[Rejection] => 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] => RouteResult function. a Function<Iterable<Rejection>, RouteResult>. A RouteResultRouteResult is either a Complete(HttpResponse(...)) Complete containing the HttpResponseHttpResponse or a Rejected(rejections). Rejected containing the rejections.

Example

Scala

copysourceval authRejectionsToNothingToSeeHere = recoverRejections { rejections =>
  if (rejections.exists(_.isInstanceOf[AuthenticationFailedRejection]))
    Complete(HttpResponse(entity = "Nothing to see here, move along."))
  else if (rejections == Nil) // see "Empty Rejections" for more details
    Complete(HttpResponse(StatusCodes.NotFound, entity = "Literally nothing to see here."))
  else
    Rejected(rejections)
}
val neverAuth: Authenticator[String] = creds => None
val alwaysAuth: Authenticator[String] = creds => Some("id")

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

// tests:
Get("/auth/never") ~> route ~> check {
  status shouldEqual StatusCodes.OK
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Nothing to see here, move along."
}
Get("/auth/always") ~> route ~> check {
  status shouldEqual StatusCodes.OK
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Welcome to the secret place!"
}
Get("/auth/does_not_exist") ~> route ~> check {
  status shouldEqual StatusCodes.NotFound
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Literally nothing to see here."
}
