pathEnd

Description

Only passes the request to its inner route if the unmatched path of the RequestContext is empty, i.e. the request path has been fully matched by a higher-level path or pathPrefix directive.

This directive is a simple alias for rawPathPrefix(PathEnd) and is mostly used on an inner-level to discriminate “path already fully matched” from other alternatives (see the example below). For a comparison between path directives check Overview of path directives.

Example

final Route route = 
    route(
        pathPrefix("foo", () -> 
            route(
                pathEnd(() -> complete("/foo")),
                path("bar", () -> complete("/foo/bar"))
            )
        )
    );

// tests:
testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/foo")).assertEntity("/foo");
testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/foo/")).assertStatusCode(StatusCodes.NOT_FOUND);
testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/foo/bar")).assertEntity("/foo/bar");
