recoverRejectionsWith

Description

Low level directive – unless you’re sure you need to be working on this low-level you might instead want to try the handleRejections directive which provides a nicer DSL for building rejection handlers.

Transforms rejections from the inner route with a Function<Iterable<Rejection>, CompletionStage<RouteResult>>.

Asynchronous version of recoverRejections.

See recoverRejections (the synchronous equivalent of this directive) for a detailed description.

Note

To learn more about how and why rejections work read the Rejections section of the documentation.

Example

final Function<Optional<ProvidedCredentials>, Optional<Object>> neverAuth =
  creds -> Optional.empty();

final Route originalRoute = pathPrefix("auth", () ->
  path("never", () ->
    authenticateBasic("my-realm", neverAuth, obj ->  complete("Welcome to the bat-cave!"))
  )
);

final Function<Iterable<Rejection>, Boolean> existsAuthenticationFailedRejection =
  rejections ->
    StreamSupport.stream(rejections.spliterator(), false)
      .anyMatch(r -> r instanceof AuthenticationFailedRejection);

final Route route = recoverRejectionsWith(
  rejections -> CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> {
    if (existsAuthenticationFailedRejection.apply(rejections)) {
      return RouteResults.complete(
          HttpResponse.create().withEntity("Nothing to see here, move along."));
    } else {
      return RouteResults.rejected(rejections);
    }
}), () -> originalRoute);

// tests:
testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/auth/never"))
  .assertStatusCode(StatusCodes.OK)
  .assertEntity("Nothing to see here, move along.");
