Introduction to bract.ring

This module provides Ring support for the Bract framework.

Starting a web server

The inducer bract.ring.inducer/start-server can start a web server using a supplied Ring handler. Include it in your inducer chain and populate the following keys in the context:

  :bract.ring/ring-handler   (fn [request])  ; a valid Ring handler
  :bract.ring/server-starter bract.ring.server/start-http-kit-server
  :bract.ring/server-options {:port 3000}

You may choose any supported server starter from the bract.ring.server namespace. You may also put the server options in the config (referred to by context key :bract.core/config) under the key "bract.ring.server.options".

Applying middleware to Ring handler

You may apply middleware to a Ring handler (required to be available under the context key :bract.ring/ring-handler) using the inducer bract.ring.inducer/apply-middlewares:

  :bract.ring/ring-handler (fn [request])  ; a valid Ring handler
  :app/inducers            [(bract.ring.inducer/apply-middlewares
                              [ring.middleware.content-type/wrap-content-type
                               ring.middleware.params/wrap-params])]

The above example applies two middlewares to the Ring handler. In practice, you would add the Ring handler to the context via an application inducer.

Applying wrapper to Ring handler

A wrapper is like a middleware (see above section) function, but with arity (fn [handler context]). There are several useful wrappers available in the bract.ring.wrapper namespace. Below is an example how you could apply wrappers to a Ring handler:

  :bract.ring/ring-handler (fn [request])  ; a valid Ring handler
  :app/inducers            [(bract.ring.inducer/apply-wrappers
                              [bract.ring.wrapper/info-endpoint-wrapper
                               bract.ring.wrapper/ping-endpoint-wrapper])]

In practice, you would add the Ring handler to the context via an application inducer.

Context keys

Provided default context

The file resources/bract/ring/context.edn (which may be referred as bract/ring/context.edn from an application) provides all wrappers from the namespace bract.ring.wrapper under the key :bract.ring/wrappers.

Config keys

Legend:

- FQFN: Fully qualified function name (string or symbol)
- FNable: Function or FQFN
- FNable-0: Zero arity function or FQFN
- FNable-1: Arity-1 function or FQFN
Config keyValue typeDescription
"bract.ring.server.options"

Wrapper enabled check
