    the name of the callback to add

  • opts (Hash)

    action options

Options Hash (**opts):

  • :only (Symbol, Array<Symbol>)

    restrict the callback to run only for specific actions

  • :except (Symbol, Array<Symbol>)

    @__after_actions = @__after_actions.dup
  end

  if @__after_actions.nil?
    @__after_actions = [action]

wrap_parameters :user, include: %i[name age]
wrap_parameters :user, exclude: %i[address]

Parameters:

  • key (Symbol)

    the wrapper key

  • include (Symbol, Array<Symbol>) (defaults to: [])

    the list of attribute names which parameters wrapper will wrap into a nested hash

  • exclude (Symbol, Array<Symbol>) (defaults to: [])

    the list of attribute names which parameters wrapper will exclude from a nested hash

#authenticate_or_request_with_http_token {|token| ... } ⇒ Object

Authenticate using an HTTP Bearer token, or otherwise render an HTTP header requesting the client to send a Bearer token. For the authentication to be considered successful, the block should return a non-nil value.

Examples:

before_action :authenticate

def authenticate
  authenticate_or_request_with_http_token do |token|
    ApiToken.find_by(token: token)
  end
end

Yields:

  • (token)

    token value extracted from the Authorization header

def authenticate_or_request_with_http_token
  authenticate_with_http_token { |token| yield(token) } || request_http_token_authentication
end

#authenticate_with_http_token {|token| ... } ⇒ Object

Authenticate using an HTTP Bearer token. Returns the value of the block if a token is found. Returns nil if no token is found.

Examples:

user = authenticate_with_http_token do |token|
  User.find_by(key: token)
end

    ::Rack::Utils::SYMBOL_TO_STATUS_CODE[status]
  else

Set response headers.

Examples:

headers["Content-Type"] = "application/pdf"

Returns:

  • (Hash)

565
# File 'lib/rage/controller/api.rb', line 563

def headers
  @__headers
end

#paramsHash{Symbol=>String,Array,Hash,Numeric,NilClass,TrueClass,FalseClass}

Get the request data. The keys inside the hash are symbols, so params.keys returns an array of Symbol.
You can also load Strong Parameters to have Rage automatically wrap params in an instance of ActionController::Parameters.
At the same time, if you are not implementing complex filtering rules or working with nested structures, consider using native Hash#fetch and Hash#slice instead.

For multipart file uploads, the uploaded files are represented by an instance of Rage::UploadedFile.

Examples:

With Strong Parameters

# in the Gemfile:
gem "activesupport", require: "active_support/all"
gem "actionpack", require: "action_controller/metal/strong_parameters"

# in the controller:
params.require(:user).permit(:full_name, :dob)

Without Strong Parameters

params.fetch(:user).slice(:full_name, :dob)

Returns:

  • (Hash{Symbol=>String,Array,Hash,Numeric,NilClass,TrueClass,FalseClass})

#render(json: nil, plain: nil, sse: nil, status: nil) ⇒ Object

Note:

render doesn’t terminate execution of the action, so if you want to exit an action after rendering, you need to do something like render(...) and return.

Send a response to the client.

Examples:

Render a JSON object

render json: { hello: "world" }

Set a response status

render status: :ok

Render an SSE stream

render sse: "hello world".each_char

Render a one-off SSE update

render sse: { message: "hello world" }

Write to an SSE connection manually

render sse: ->(connection) do
  connection.write("data: Hello, World!\n\n")
  connection.close
end

Parameters:

  • json (String, Object) (defaults to: nil)

    send a json response to the client; objects like arrays will be serialized automatically

  • plain (String) (defaults to: nil)

    send a text response to the client

  • sse (#each, Proc, #to_json) (defaults to: nil)

    send an SSE response to the client

  • status (Integer, Symbol) (defaults to: nil)

    set a response status

#stale?(etag: nil, last_modified: nil) ⇒ Boolean

Note:

stale? will set ETag and Last-Modified response headers made of passed arguments in the method. Value for ETag will be additionally hashified using SHA1 algorithm, whereas value for Last-Modified will be converted to the string which represents time as RFC 1123 date of HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616.

Note:

stale? will set the response status to 304 if the request is fresh. This side effect will cause a double render error, if render gets called after this method. Make sure to implement a proper conditional in your action to prevent this from happening:

if stale?(etag: "123")
  render json: { hello: "world" }
end

Checks if the request is stale to decide if the action has to be rendered or the cached version is still valid. Use this method to implement conditional GET.

Examples:

stale?(etag: "123", last_modified: Time.utc(2023, 12, 15))
stale?(last_modified: Time.utc(2023, 12, 15))
stale?(etag: "123")

Parameters:

  • etag (String) (defaults to: nil)

    The etag of the requested resource.

  • last_modified (Time) (defaults to: nil)

    The last modified time of the requested resource.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    True if the response is stale, false otherwise.
