From f1c3b6d76f0c97e1ab927c288bb94891ae4c253b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Lo=C3=AFc=20Hoguin?= Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 16:43:29 +0300 Subject: Breaking update of the cowboy_req interface Simplify the interface for most cowboy_req functions. They all return a single value except the four body reading functions. The reply functions now only return a Req value. Access functions do not return a Req anymore. Functions that used to cache results do not have a cache anymore. The interface for accessing query string and cookies has therefore been changed. There are now three query string functions: qs/1 provides access to the raw query string value; parse_qs/1 returns the query string as a list of key/values; match_qs/2 returns a map containing the values requested in the second argument, after applying constraints and default value. Similarly, there are two cookie functions: parse_cookies/1 and match_cookies/2. More match functions will be added in future commits. None of the functions return an error tuple anymore. It either works or crashes. Cowboy will attempt to provide an appropriate status code in the response of crashed handlers. As a result, the content decode function has its return value changed to a simple binary, and the body reading functions only return on success. --- doc/src/guide/resp.ezdoc | 24 ++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/src/guide/resp.ezdoc') diff --git a/doc/src/guide/resp.ezdoc b/doc/src/guide/resp.ezdoc index 28f2544..009756a 100644 --- a/doc/src/guide/resp.ezdoc +++ b/doc/src/guide/resp.ezdoc @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ Cowboy will make sure to send the mandatory headers with the response. ``` erlang -{ok, Req2} = cowboy_req:reply(200, Req). +Req2 = cowboy_req:reply(200, Req). ``` You can define headers to be sent with the response.
