It then applies +the given field constraints to the urlencoded data +and returns the result as a map. + +The urlencoded media type is used by Web browsers when +submitting HTML forms using the POST method. + +Cowboy will only return the values specified +in the fields list, and ignore all others. Fields can be +either the key requested; the key along with a list of +constraints; or the key, a list of constraints and a +default value in case the key is missing. + +This function will crash if the key is missing and no +default value is provided. This function will also crash +if a constraint fails. + +The key must be provided as an atom. The key of the +returned map will be that atom. The value may be converted +through the use of constraints, making this function able +to extract, validate and convert values all in one step. + +Cowboy needs to read the full body before parsing. By default +it will read bodies of size up to 64KB. It is possible to +provide options to read larger bodies if required. + +Cowboy will automatically handle protocol details including +the expect header, chunked transfer-encoding and others. + +Once the body has been read, Cowboy sets the content-length +header if it was not previously provided. + +This function can only be called once. Calling it again will +result in undefined behavior. + +== Arguments + +Fields:: + +Fields to retrieve from the urlencoded body. ++ +See link:man:cowboy(3)[cowboy(3)] for a complete description. + +Req:: + +The Req object. + +Opts:: + +A map of body reading options. Please refer to +link:man:cowboy_req:read_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_body(3)] +for details about each option. ++ +This function defaults the `length` to 64KB and the `period` +to 5 seconds. + +== Return value + +An `ok` tuple is returned. + +Desired values are returned as a map. The key is the atom +that was given in the list of fields, and the value is the +optionally converted value after applying constraints. + +The map contains the same keys that were given in the fields. + +An exception is triggered when the match fails. + +The Req object returned in the tuple must be used from that point +onward. It contains a more up to date representation of the request. +For example it may have an added content-length header once the +body has been read. + +== Changelog + +* *2.5*: Function introduced. + +== Examples + +.Match fields +[source,erlang] +---- +%% ID and Lang are binaries. +#{id := ID, lang := Lang} + = cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body( + [id, lang], Req). +---- + +.Match fields and apply constraints +[source,erlang] +---- +%% ID is an integer and Lang a non-empty binary. +#{id := ID, lang := Lang} + = cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body( + [{id, int}, {lang, nonempty}], Req). +---- + +.Match fields with default values +[source,erlang] +---- +#{lang := Lang} + = cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body( + [{lang, [], <<"en-US">>}], Req). +---- + +.Allow large urlencoded bodies +[source,erlang] +---- +{ok, Body, Req} = cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body( + Fields, Req0, #{length => 1000000}). +---- + +== See also + +link:man:cowboy_req(3)[cowboy_req(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:has_body(3)[cowboy_req:has_body(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:body_length(3)[cowboy_req:body_length(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:read_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_body(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:read_urlencoded_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_urlencoded_body(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:read_part(3)[cowboy_req:read_part(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:read_part_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_part_body(3)] diff --git a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_body.asciidoc b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_body.asciidoc index 729b2f0..2b87405 100644 --- a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_body.asciidoc +++ b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_body.asciidoc @@ -112,5 +112,6 @@ link:man:cowboy_req(3)[cowboy_req(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:has_body(3)[cowboy_req:has_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:body_length(3)[cowboy_req:body_length(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_urlencoded_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_urlencoded_body(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_part(3)[cowboy_req:read_part(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_part_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_part_body(3)] diff --git a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_part.asciidoc b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_part.asciidoc index ceed72a..9123b2e 100644 --- a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_part.asciidoc +++ b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_part.asciidoc @@ -131,4 +131,5 @@ link:man:cowboy_req:has_body(3)[cowboy_req:has_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:body_length(3)[cowboy_req:body_length(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_urlencoded_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_urlencoded_body(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_part_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_part_body(3)] diff --git a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_part_body.asciidoc b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_part_body.asciidoc index 3a1af2f..dc634f3 100644 --- a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_part_body.asciidoc +++ b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_part_body.asciidoc @@ -97,4 +97,5 @@ link:man:cowboy_req:has_body(3)[cowboy_req:has_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:body_length(3)[cowboy_req:body_length(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_urlencoded_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_urlencoded_body(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_part(3)[cowboy_req:read_part(3)] diff --git a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_urlencoded_body.asciidoc b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_urlencoded_body.asciidoc index 3b65fcf..e897a69 100644 --- a/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_urlencoded_body.asciidoc +++ b/doc/src/manual/cowboy_req.read_urlencoded_body.asciidoc @@ -90,5 +90,6 @@ link:man:cowboy_req(3)[cowboy_req(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:has_body(3)[cowboy_req:has_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:body_length(3)[cowboy_req:body_length(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_body(3)], +link:man:cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_part(3)[cowboy_req:read_part(3)], link:man:cowboy_req:read_part_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_part_body(3)] |
