synopsis: New combinator to return routed path in response headers
|
||||
prs: #1561
|
||||
issues: #1553

description: {
|
||||
|
||||
This commit introduces a new type-level combinator, `WithRoutingHeader`.
|
||||
It modifies the behaviour of the following sub-API, such that all endpoints of said API return an additional routing header in their response.
|
||||
|
||||
A routing header is a header that specifies which endpoint the incoming request was routed to.
|
||||
Endpoint are designated by their path, in which `Capture'` and `CaptureAll` combinators are replaced by a capture hint.
|
||||
|
||||
This header can be used by downstream middlewares to gather information about individual endpoints, since in most cases
|
||||
a routing header uniquely identifies a single endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```haskell
|
||||
type MyApi =
|
||||
WithRoutingHeader :> "by-id" :> Capture "id" Int :> Get '[JSON] Foo
|
||||
-- GET /by-id/1234 will return a response with the following header:
|
||||
-- ("Servant-Routed-Path", "/by-id/<id::Int>")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To achieve this, two refactorings were necessary:
|
||||
|
||||
* Introduce a type `RouterEnv env` to encapsulate the `env` type (as in `Router env a`), which contains a tuple-encoded list of url pieces parsed from the incoming request. This type makes it possible to pass more information throughout the routing process, and the computation of the `Delayed env c` associated with each request.
|
||||
* Introduce a new kind of router, which only modifies the `RouterEnv`, and doesn't affect the routing process otherwise: `EnvRouter (RouterEnv env -> RouterEnv env) (Router' env a)`.
|
||||
This new router is used when encountering the `WithRoutingHeader` combinator in an API, to notify the endpoints of the sub-API that they must produce a routing header (this behaviour is disabled by default).
|
||||
|
||||
This PR also introduces `Spec` tests for the `WithRoutingHeader` combinator, which showcase some of its possible uses.
