New Feature¶ ↑

• A custom_block_results plugin has been added for custom handling of block results. This allows routing blocks to return arbitrary objects instead of just String, nil, and false, and to have custom handling for them. For example, if you want to be able to have your routing blocks return the status code to use, you could do:

  plugin :custom_block_results
  
  handle_block_result Integer do |result|
    response.status_code = result
  end
  
  route do |r|
    200
  end
  

  While the expected use of the handle_block_result method is with class arguments, you can use any argument that implements an appropriate === method.

  The symbol_views and json plugins, which support additional block results, now use the custom_block_results plugin internally.
