<blockquote>
<p>Module: <code>import HTTP</code></p>
</blockquote>
<h1 id="request">Request</h1>
<p>The most common part of the <code>HTTP</code> library we'll be interacting with is the <code>Request</code> type. Here's a look at some of the most commonly used attributes in this type.</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">public var method: Method
public var uri: URI
public var parameters: Node
public var headers: [HeaderKey: String]
public var body: Body
public var data: Content</code></pre>
<h3 id="method">Method</h3>
<p>The HTTP <code>Method</code> associated with the <code>Request</code>, ie: <code>GET</code>, <code>POST</code>, <code>PUT</code>, <code>PATCH</code>, <code>DELETE</code>.</p>
<h3 id="uri">URI</h3>
<p>The associated <code>URI</code> of the request. We will use this to access attributes about the <code>uri</code> the request was sent to.</p>
<p>For example, given the following uri: <code>http://vapor.codes/example?query=hi#fragments-too</code></p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let scheme = request.uri.scheme // http
let host = request.uri.host // vapor.codes
let path = request.uri.path // /example
let query = request.uri.query // query=hi
let fragment = request.uri.fragment // fragments-too</code></pre>
<h3 id="route-parameters">Route Parameters</h3>
<p>The url parameters associated with the request. For example, if we have a path registered as <code>hello/:name/age/:age</code>, we would be able to access those in our request, like so:</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let name = request.parameters["name"] // String?
let age = request.parameters["age"]?.int // Int?</code></pre>
<p>Or, to automatically throw on <code>nil</code> or invalid variable, you can also <code>extract</code></p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let name = try request.parameters.extract("name") as String
let age = try request.parameters.extract("age") as Int</code></pre>
<p>These extract functions can cast to any <code>NodeInitializable</code> type, including your own custom types. Make sure to check out <a href="https://github.com/vapor/node">Node</a> for more info.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note: Vapor also provides type safe routing in the routing section of our docs.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 id="headers">Headers</h3>
<p>These are the headers associated with the request. If you are preparing an outgoing request, this can be used to add your own keys.</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let contentType = request.headers["Content-Type"] </code></pre>
<p>Or for outgoing requests:</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let request = Request ...
request.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
request.headers["Authorization"] = ... my auth token</code></pre>
<h4 id="extending-headers">Extending Headers</h4>
<p>We generally seek to improve code bases by removing stringly typed code where possible. We can add variables to the headers using generic extensions.</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">extension HTTP.KeyAccessible where Key == HeaderKey, Value == String {
var customKey: String? {
get {
return self["Custom-Key"]
}
set {
self["Custom-Key"] = newValue
}
}
}</code></pre>
<p>With this pattern implemented, our string <code>"Custom-Key"</code> is contained in one section of our code. We can now access like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let customKey = request.headers.customKey
// or
let request = ...
request.headers.customKey = "my custom value"</code></pre>
<h3 id="body">Body</h3>
<p>This is the body associated with the request and represents the general data payload. You can view more about body in the associated <a href="./body.html">docs</a></p>
<p>For incoming requests, we'll often pull out the associated bytes like so:</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let rawBytes = request.body.bytes</code></pre>
<h2 id="content">Content</h2>
<p>Generally when we're sending or receiving requests, we're using them as a way to transport content. For this, Vapor provides a convenient <code>data</code> variable associated with the request that prioritizes content in a consistent way.</p>
<p>For example, say I receive a request to <code>http://vapor.codes?hello=world</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let world = request.data["hello"]?.string</code></pre>
<p>This same code will work if I receive a JSON request, for example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"hello": "world"
}</code></pre>
<p>Will still be accessible through data.</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let world = request.data["hello"]?.string</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<p>Note: Force unwrap should never be used.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This also applies to multi-part requests and can even be extended to new types such as XML or YAML through middleware.</p>
<p>If you'd prefer to access given types more explicitly, that's totally fine. The <code>data</code> variable is purely opt-in convenience for those who want it.</p>
<h2 id="json">JSON</h2>
<p>To access JSON directly on a given request, use the following:</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let json = request.json["hello"]</code></pre>
<h2 id="query-parameters">Query Parameters</h2>
<p>The same applies to query convenience:</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let query = request.query?["hello"] // String?
let name = request.query?["name"]?.string // String?
let age = request.query?["age"]?.int // Int?
let rating = request.query?["rating"]?.double // Double?</code></pre>
<h2 id="key-paths">Key Paths</h2>
<p>Key paths work on most Vapor types that can have nested key value objects. Here's a couple examples of how to access given the following json:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"metadata": "some metadata",
"artists" : {
"href": "http://someurl.com",
"items": [
{
"name": "Van Gogh",
},
{
"name": "Mozart"
}
]
}
}</code></pre>
<p>We could access the data in the following ways:</p>
<h3 id="metadata">Metadata</h3>
<p>Access top level values</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let type = request.data["metadata"].string // "some metadata"</code></pre>
<h3 id="items">Items</h3>
<p>Access nested values</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let items = request.data["artists", "items"] // [["name": "Van Gogh"], ["name": "Mozart"]]</code></pre>
<h3 id="mixing-arrays-and-objects">Mixing Arrays and Objects</h3>
<p>Get first artists</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let first = request.data["artists", "items", 0] // ["name": "Van Gogh"]</code></pre>
<h3 id="array-item">Array Item</h3>
<p>Get key from array item</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let firstName = request.data["artists", "items", 0, "name"] // "Van Gogh"</code></pre>
<h3 id="array-comprehension">Array Comprehension</h3>
<p>We can also smartly map an array of keys, for example, to just get the names of all of the artists, we could use the following</p>
<pre><code class="language-swift">let names = request.data["artists", "items", "name"] // ["Van Gogh", "Mozart"]</code></pre>
