Class RouterFunctions

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.reactive.function.server.RouterFunctions

public abstract class RouterFunctions
extends Object

Central entry point to Spring's functional web framework. Exposes routing functionality, such as to create a RouterFunction given a RequestPredicate and HandlerFunction, and to do further subrouting on an existing routing function.

Additionally, this class can transform a RouterFunction into an HttpHandler, which can be run in Servlet 3.1+, Reactor, or Undertow.

Method Detail

route

public static <T extends ServerResponse> RouterFunction<T> route(RequestPredicate predicate,
                                                                 HandlerFunction<T> handlerFunction)

Route to the given handler function if the given request predicate applies.

For instance, the following example routes GET requests for "/user" to the listUsers method in userController:

 RouterFunction<ServerResponse> route =
     RouterFunctions.route(RequestPredicates.GET("/user"), userController::listUsers);
 

Type Parameters:

T - the type of response returned by the handler function

Parameters:

predicate - the predicate to test

handlerFunction - the handler function to route to if the predicate applies

Returns:

a router function that routes to handlerFunction if predicate evaluates to true

RequestPredicates

nest

public static <T extends ServerResponse> RouterFunction<T> nest(RequestPredicate predicate,
                                                                RouterFunction<T> routerFunction)

Route to the given router function if the given request predicate applies. This method can be used to create nested routes, where a group of routes share a common path (prefix), header, or other request predicate.

For instance, the following example first creates a composed route that resolves to listUsers for a GET, and createUser for a POST. This composed route then gets nested with a "/user" path predicate, so that GET requests for "/user" will list users, and POST request for "/user" will create a new user.

 RouterFunction<ServerResponse> userRoutes =
   RouterFunctions.route(RequestPredicates.method(HttpMethod.GET), this::listUsers)
     .andRoute(RequestPredicates.method(HttpMethod.POST), this::createUser);
 RouterFunction<ServerResponse> nestedRoute =
   RouterFunctions.nest(RequestPredicates.path("/user"), userRoutes);
 

Type Parameters:

T - the type of response returned by the handler function

Parameters:

predicate - the predicate to test

routerFunction - the nested router function to delegate to if the predicate applies

Returns:

a router function that routes to routerFunction if predicate evaluates to true

resources

public static RouterFunction<ServerResponse> resources(String pattern,
                                                       Resource location)

Route requests that match the given pattern to resources relative to the given root location. For instance

 Resource location = new FileSystemResource("public-resources/");
 RouterFunction<ServerResponse> resources = RouterFunctions.resources("/resources/**", location);
 

Parameters:

pattern - the pattern to match

location - the location directory relative to which resources should be resolved

Returns:

a router function that routes to resources

resources

public static RouterFunction<ServerResponse> resources(Function<ServerRequest,reactor.core.publisher.Mono<Resource>> lookupFunction)

Route to resources using the provided lookup function. If the lookup function provides a Resource for the given request, it will be it will be exposed using a HandlerFunction that handles GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS requests.

Parameters:

lookupFunction - the function to provide a Resource given the ServerRequest

Returns:

a router function that routes to resources

toHttpHandler

public static HttpHandler toHttpHandler(RouterFunction<?> routerFunction)

Convert the given router function into a HttpHandler. This conversion uses default strategies.

The returned handler can be adapted to run in

• Servlet 3.1+ using the ServletHttpHandlerAdapter,
• Reactor using the ReactorHttpHandlerAdapter,
• Undertow using the UndertowHttpHandlerAdapter.

Note that HttpWebHandlerAdapter also implements WebHandler, allowing for additional filter and exception handler registration through WebHttpHandlerBuilder.

Parameters:

routerFunction - the router function to convert

Returns:

an http handler that handles HTTP request using the given router function

toHttpHandler

public static HttpHandler toHttpHandler(RouterFunction<?> routerFunction,
                                        HandlerStrategies strategies)

Convert the given router function into a HttpHandler, using the given strategies.

The returned HttpHandler can be adapted to run in

• Servlet 3.1+ using the ServletHttpHandlerAdapter,
• Reactor using the ReactorHttpHandlerAdapter,
• Undertow using the UndertowHttpHandlerAdapter.

Parameters:

routerFunction - the router function to convert

strategies - the strategies to use

Returns:

an http handler that handles HTTP request using the given router function

toWebHandler

public static WebHandler toWebHandler(RouterFunction<?> routerFunction)

Convert the given router function into a WebHandler. This conversion uses default strategies.

Parameters:

routerFunction - the router function to convert

Returns:

a web handler that handles web request using the given router function

toWebHandler

public static WebHandler toWebHandler(RouterFunction<?> routerFunction,
                                      HandlerStrategies strategies)

Convert the given router function into a WebHandler, using the given strategies.

Parameters:

routerFunction - the router function to convert

strategies - the strategies to use

Returns:

a web handler that handles web request using the given router function
