sprockets.mixins.mediatype
|
|
==========================
|
|
A mixin that performs Content-Type negotiation and request/response
|
|
(de)serialization.
|
|
|
|
|Documentation| |Build Badge| |Package Info|
|
|
|
|
This mix-in adds two methods to a ``tornado.web.RequestHandler`` instance:
|
|
|
|
- ``get_request_body() -> dict``: deserializes the request body according
|
|
to the HTTP ``Content-Type`` header and returns the deserialized body.
|
|
- ``send_response(object)``: serializes the response into the content type
|
|
requested by the ``Accept`` header.
|
|
|
|
Support for a content types is enabled by calling either the
|
|
``add_binary_content_type`` or ``add_text_content_type`` function with the
|
|
``tornado.web.Application`` instance, the content type, encoding and decoding
|
|
functions as parameters:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import json
|
|
|
|
from sprockets.mixins import mediatype
|
|
from tornado import web
|
|
|
|
def make_application():
|
|
application = web.Application([
|
|
# insert your handlers here
|
|
])
|
|
|
|
mediatype.add_text_content_type(application,
|
|
'application/json', 'utf-8',
|
|
json.dumps, json.loads)
|
|
|
|
return application
|
|
|
|
The *add content type* functions will add a attribute to the ``Application``
|
|
instance that the mix-in uses to manipulate the request and response bodies.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from sprockets.mixins import mediatype
|
|
from tornado import web
|
|
|
|
class SomeHandler(mediatype.ContentMixin, web.RequestHandler):
|
|
def get(self):
|
|
self.send_response({'data': 'value'})
|
|
self.finish()
|
|
|
|
def post(self):
|
|
body = self.get_request_body()
|
|
# do whatever
|
|
self.send_response({'action': 'performed'})
|
|
self.finish()
|
|
|
|
Based on the settings stored in the ``Application`` instance and the HTTP
|
|
headers, the request and response data will be handled correctly or the
|
|
appropriate HTTP exceptions will be raised.
