Class RouterFunctions

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.web.servlet.function.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 using a discoverable builder-style API, to create a RouterFunction given a RequestPredicate and HandlerFunction, and to do further subrouting on an existing routing function.

  • Method Details

    • route

      public static RouterFunctions.Builder route()
      Offers a discoverable way to create router functions through a builder-style interface.
      Returns:
      a router function builder

    • 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

    • 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
      See Also:

    • resources

      public static RouterFunction<ServerResponse> resources(String pattern, Resource location, BiConsumer<Resource,HttpHeaders> headersConsumer)
      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
      headersConsumer - provides access to the HTTP headers for served resources
      Returns:
      a router function that routes to resources

    • resourceLookupFunction

      public static Function<ServerRequest,Optional<Resource>> resourceLookupFunction(String pattern, Resource location)
      Returns the resource lookup function used by resources(String, Resource). The returned function can be composed on, for instance to return a default resource when the lookup function does not match: 
       Optional<Resource> defaultResource = Optional.of(new ClassPathResource("index.html"));
 Function<ServerRequest, Optional<Resource>> lookupFunction =
   RouterFunctions.resourceLookupFunction("/resources/**", new FileSystemResource("public-resources/"))
     .andThen(resource -> resource.or(() -> defaultResource));
 RouterFunction<ServerResponse> resources = RouterFunctions.resources(lookupFunction);
      Parameters:
      pattern - the pattern to match
      location - the location directory relative to which resources should be resolved
      Returns:
      the default resource lookup function for the given parameters.

    • resources

      public static RouterFunction<ServerResponse> resources(Function<ServerRequest,Optional<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

    • resources

      public static RouterFunction<ServerResponse> resources(Function<ServerRequest,Optional<Resource>> lookupFunction, BiConsumer<Resource,HttpHeaders> headersConsumer)
      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
      headersConsumer - provides access to the HTTP headers for served resources
      Returns:
      a router function that routes to resources

    • changeParser

      public static <T extends ServerResponse> RouterFunction<T> changeParser(RouterFunction<T> routerFunction, PathPatternParser parser)
      Changes the PathPatternParser on the given router function. This method can be used to change the PathPatternParser properties from the defaults, for instance to change case sensitivity.
      Type Parameters:
      T - the type of response returned by the handler function
      Parameters:
      routerFunction - the router function to change the parser in
      parser - the parser to change to.
      Returns:
      the change router function
