Path matching and extracting on multiple segments

[stevem]

Hi

Spent a frustrating hour trying to work out how to do this but hopefully this is trivial for more experienced spray folks.

Given the path: "{special-prefix}" / p1 / p2 / p3 / "{special-suffix}".

How could the p1 / p2 / p3 segments be extracted as a string value?

Note, there would be other routes such as "{special-prefix}" / p1 / p2 /p3 that would be matched and handled separately.

Steve,

would

path("foo" / Segment / Segment / Segment / "bar") { (p1, p2, p3) =>
...
}

do the trick?

Cheers,
Mathias

Thanks for the reply.

In my case the number of segments in unknown and variable so this wouldn't be flexible enough.

Hi Steve,

then you can use something like this:

pathPrefix("foo") {

  pathSuffix("bar") {

    path(RestPath) { path =>

      complete(s"The inner path is $path")

    }

  }

}

path is of type `Path` which is basically a special kind of linked list which contains of `Slash`, `Segment` and an `Empty` element. You would need some deconstruction logic which extracts the elements in the way you need it.

Or you use a new PathMatcher:

object Segments extends PathMatcher1[List[String]] {

    def apply(path: Path): Matching[List[String] :: HNil] =

      path match {

        case Path.Segment(segment, tail) ⇒

          apply(tail).map {

            case rest :: HNil ⇒ (segment :: rest) :: HNil

          }

        case Path.Slash(tail) ⇒ apply(tail)

        case Path.Empty       ⇒ Matched(Path.Empty, Nil :: HNil)

      }

  }

then you can use something like this (where segs is of type List[String]):

pathPrefix("foo") {

  pathSuffix("bar") {

    path(Segments) { segs =>

      complete(s"The inner segments are $segs")

    }

  }

}

That solved the issue for me.

Many thanks for the help on this.

Heya,

I try to achieve exactly this, but it doesn't compile : I get "Missing parameter type" errors.

val route: Route =
  path("foo" / Segment / Segment / Segment /  "bar") { (p1, p2, p3) =>
    complete(OK)
  }

It's probably a dummy question, I'm sure I am missing something (obvious)

I'm using the last spray verion ("com.typesafe.akka/akka-http" 3.0.0-RC1)

Cheers,

Nicolas

Sorry for the previous message, I finally fixed the issue by upgrading IntelliJ to the latest version.

Cheers, Nicolas

Hi Nicolas. 

For akka-http, please ask your questions on the akka-http mailing list or Gitter channel. You will get much quicker answers there because it is an actively supported project.
