New Features¶ ↑

• A type_routing plugin has been added. This plugin allows routing based on the requested type, which can be submitted either via a file extension or Accept header:

  plugin :type_routing
  
  route do |r|
    r.get 'a' do
      r.html{ "<h1>This is the HTML response</h1>" }
      r.json{ '{"json": "ok"}' }
      r.xml{ "<root>This is the XML response</root>" }
    end
  end
  
  # /a or /a.html => HTML response
  # /a.json => JSON response
  # /a.xml => XML response
  

  The response content type is set appropriately when the r.html, r.json, or r.xml block is yielded to. Using plugin options, you can add support for custom types, and choose whether to use only file extensions or only Accept headers for type matching.

• A request_headers plugin has been added. This allows easier access to request headers. For example, to access a header called X-My-Header, by default you would need to use the CGI mangled name:

  r.env['HTTP_X_MY_HEADER']
  

  The request_headers plugin allows the easier to use:

  r.headers['X-My-Header']
  

• An unescape_path plugin has been added. By default, Roda does not unescape a URL-encoded PATH_INFO before routing. This plugin allows URL-encoded PATH_INFO to work, supporting %2f as well as / as path separators, and having captures return unescaped values:

  plugin :unescape_path
  
  route do |r|
    # Assume /b/a URL encoded at %2f%62%2f%61
    r.on :x, /(.)/ do |*x|
      # x => ['b', 'a']
    end
  end
