Routes that match with any HTTP method #121

Closed redneb closed 7 years ago

redneb commented 7 years ago

Hi, is there a way to add a route that matches regardless of the HTTP method used? scotty has matchAny. It would also be nice to be able to find out what method was actually used.

We currently don't have that in Spock as we have a separate "routing table" per method. You can still implement this combinator easily by iterating over all possible methods and wiring them up. Something like:

hookMethodAny path handler =
    forM_ [minBound..maxBound] $ \myMethod ->
    hookRoute myMethod path $ handler myMethod

Yeah, this is what I do currently. I was hopping for something more general, although I suspect that my application (which simply forwards requests to another server) will not encounter any nonstandard HTTP methods.

Another application that I had in mind, is the notFound route that scotty offers. Is there some other sensible way to implement this in Spock?

Yes, you can use the error handler of SpockCfg, but you currently only get the Status. This can easily be extended if you are up for a PR :-)
