Implementing a single html endpoint

[Emil Kampp]

Hi there. 

I need to render a single html endpoint in my grape app. I have looked around and found Rack::Static, but my page isn't static, it will contain some dynamic content generated by the grape controller. 

How would I go about implementing such a single html endpoint? I have tried with the format :html and content_type :html, but neither seems to work, so I must be missing a point somewhere. 

Cheers, 

Emil

Serving html is like any other content (here's an example that serves text: https://github.com/dblock/grape-on-rack/blob/master/api/content_type.rb).

The HTML content type is `text/html`, so add `content_type :html, 'text/html'` to the API and either `format :html` to the entire API endpoint or `content_type 'text/html'` inside the specific implementation. Also use some kind of renderer like HAML or ERB to generate the template.

Yes, I have solved it. It turns out you need the content_type and stuff in the before block, not inside the method :) Silly me.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Emil,

I know this is very old, but can you share an example of how you're retuning the HTML? I am trying to render the erb template from a rails controller, send to the endpoint to use as response. But this does not seem to work and I can only send it as text.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!
