Example
-------
The following example demonstrates how to use the Mix-in to handle media
type validation and serialization.
.. code:: python
from tornado import web, gen
from sprockets.mixins import media_type
class MyRequestHandler(media_type.MediaTypeMixin, web.RequestHandler):
@gen.coroutine
def post(self, **kwargs):
# Validate the Content-Type header using the Mix-in
if not self.is_valid_content_type():
self.set_status(415, 'Unsupported content type')
self.finish()
return
# Deserialize your request payload
data = self.decode_request()
# Ensure that you get some data out of it!
if not data:
self.set_status(400)
self.finish()
return
# Manipulate your data and do business stuff with it
data.pop('the_key')
self.set_status(200)
# Automatically serialize your data using the HTTP Accept headers
self.write(data)
@gen.coroutine
def get(self, some_id):
# Validate the Accept headers using the Mix-in
if not self.is_valid_accept_header():
self.set_status(406, 'Invalid Accept header')
self.finish()
return
# Maybe do some lookups from the database or get some data from somewhere
data = {'some_id': some_id}
self.set_status(200)
# Automatically serialize your data using the HTTP Accept headers
self.write(data)
