Interface RequestPredicate

Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface public interface RequestPredicate
Represents a function that evaluates on a given ServerRequest. Instances of this function that evaluate on common request properties can be found in RequestPredicates.

  • Method Details

    • test

      boolean test(ServerRequest request)
      Evaluate this predicate on the given request.
      Parameters:
      request - the request to match against
      Returns:
      true if the request matches the predicate; false otherwise
    • and

      default RequestPredicate and(RequestPredicate other)
      Return a composed request predicate that tests against both this predicate AND the other predicate. When evaluating the composed predicate, if this predicate is false, then the other predicate is not evaluated.
      Parameters:
      other - a predicate that will be logically-ANDed with this predicate
      Returns:
      a predicate composed of this predicate AND the other predicate
    • negate

      default RequestPredicate negate()
      Return a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate.
      Returns:
      a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate
    • or

      default RequestPredicate or(RequestPredicate other)
      Return a composed request predicate that tests against both this predicate OR the other predicate. When evaluating the composed predicate, if this predicate is true, then the other predicate is not evaluated.
      Parameters:
      other - a predicate that will be logically-ORed with this predicate
      Returns:
      a predicate composed of this predicate OR the other predicate
    • nest

      default Optional<ServerRequest> nest(ServerRequest request)
      Transform the given request into a request used for a nested route. For instance, a path-based predicate can return a ServerRequest with a path remaining after a match.

      The default implementation returns an Optional wrapping the given request if test(ServerRequest) evaluates to true; or Optional.empty() if it evaluates to false.

      Parameters:
      request - the request to be nested
      Returns:
      the nested request
      See Also:
    • accept

      default void accept(RequestPredicates.Visitor visitor)
      Accept the given visitor. Default implementation calls RequestPredicates.Visitor.unknown(RequestPredicate); composed RequestPredicate implementations are expected to call accept for all components that make up this request predicate.
      Parameters:
      visitor - the visitor to accept
