JVM - api.route()
Creates a new route (path) within an API.
import io.nitric.Nitric;public class Application {public static void main(String[] args) {var api = Nitric.INSTANCE.api("public");var customersRoute = api.route("/customers");Nitric.INSTANCE.run();}}
Parameters
- Name
match
- Required
- Required
- Type
- String
- Description
The path matcher to use for this route. Calling
route
on the same API more than once with the same matcher will return the same route object. Matchers accept path parameters in the form of a colon prefixed string. The string provided will be used as that path parameter's name when calling middleware and handlers. See create a route with path params
- Name
options
- Optional
- Optional
- Type
- RouteOptions
- Description
Additional options when creating method.
- Name
middleware
- Optional
- Optional
- Type
- HttpMiddleware or List<HttpMiddleware>
- Description
Middleware to apply to all methods on this route.
- Name
security
- Optional
- Optional
- Type
- Map<String, List<String>>
- Description
Specify the security rules that apply to this route. Overrides API level security rules.
Notes
The middleware
property on the options
param is useful for applying universal middleware such as CORS headers or Auth, across an entire route. However, if methods aren't registered, the route won't be deployed. If you need to run the same handler for all methods on a route, you should use route.all()
Examples
Create a route
import io.nitric.Nitric;public class Application {public static void main(String[] args) {var api = Nitric.INSTANCE.api("public");var customersRoute = api.route("/customers");Nitric.INSTANCE.run();}}
Create a route with path params
Route paths can include dynamic parameters. These values will automatically be parsed and provided in the context object for your middleware and handlers as a string
.
For example, if you have a customers path and you want to include a customerId
param you would define the route like this.
import io.nitric.Nitric;public class Application {public static void main(String[] args) {var api = Nitric.INSTANCE.api("public");var customersRoute = api.route("/customer/:customerId");Nitric.INSTANCE.run();}}
Create a route with middleware
import io.nitric.Nitric;import io.nitric.resources.RouteOptions;public class Application {public static void main(String[] args) {var api = Nitric.INSTANCE.api("public");var customersRoute = api.route("/customers", new RouteOptions.Builder().middleware(authMiddleware).build());Nitric.INSTANCE.run();}}
