Handling requests

When a Runnable is used to handle an HTTP request, Atmo will bind that request to the Runnable. The req namespace of the Runnable API can then be used to access all of the information about the request. Note if the Runnable is not being used to handle a request, then all methods in the req namespace will return empty or an error.

In Rust these methods are available under the req module:

# Use the "req" module
use suborbital::req;

# Invoke the "State" method
req::state(…)

The following namespace methods are available:

Method​

Returns the HTTP method for the request:

pub fn method() -> String

URL​

Returns the full URL of the request:

pub fn url() -> String

ID​

Returns the unique ID assigned to the request by Atmo:

pub fn id() -> String

Body​

Returns the full request body as bytes:

pub fn body_raw() -> Vec<u8>

Body Field​

Returns the value for the provided key, if the request body is formatted as JSON:

pub fn body_field(key: &str) -> String

Returns the header value for the provided key:

pub fn header(key: &str) -> String

URL Parameter​

Returns the URL parameter for the provided key,

Example: /api/v1/user/:uuid

pub fn url_param(key: &str) -> String

State​

Returns the value from request state for the provided key:

pub fn state(key: &str) -> Option<String>
