How to return arbitrary result?

[TvoroG]

Thanks a lot for the module!

I want to wrap json object into callback:

callback({"foo": "bar"})

I don't know how to do that. I've tried to return result as simple string from tarantool with following nginx config:

tnt_pass router;
tnt_method 'foo_method';
tnt_pure_result on;
tnt_multireturn_skip_count 2;

But module returns it wrapped into double quotes

"callback({\"foo\": \"bar\"})"

Please, show your foo_method code.

[TvoroG]

It simply returns a string

function foo_method()
    return 'callback({"foo": "bar"})'
end

And what do you expect?

Try something like this: https://github.com/tarantool/nginx_upstream_module/tree/82355b8a1276ad584308f3ee4cc6e6129ecb302f#http-headers-and-status

I'm expecting callback({\"foo\": \"bar\"}) but it returns "callback({\"foo\": \"bar\"})".

Thanks, but i was hoping to do it without lua on nginx.

I agree that it is not convenient to add extra logic on nginx side just to implement an API you need. AFAIU the module was initially made with RPC in a mind, that is why we need to preprocess-postprocess a request and a response to implement, say, restful API. However it would be good to change it in the future.

Hope we should not close the issue, but rather add an option that will do something like the Lua code that I linked above.
