# Phoenix integration
`ash_onetime` does not depend on Phoenix. The integration surface is a [Plug](https://hexdocs.pm/plug)
module (`AshOnetime.Plug`) that copies request headers into the connection, the
[`AshOnetime.replayed?/1`](`AshOnetime.replayed?/1`) signal, and the error-code-to-HTTP-status
table in [Errors and HTTP mapping](errors.md). This guide shows an integration pattern to adapt
inside a Phoenix application. Its resource names, actions, response fields, and routes are host
application placeholders; verify the adapted controllers in that application's real Phoenix
request path.
## Wire the Plug
`AshOnetime.Plug` copies configured request headers into `conn.private.ash_onetime.untrusted`
as a map of `{context_name => binary}`. Values are raw and untrusted — verification happens only
inside the protected action. Add it to an API pipeline in your router:
```elixir
# lib/my_app_web/router.ex
pipeline :api do
plug :accepts, ["json"]
plug AshOnetime.Plug, headers: [idempotency_key: "idempotency-key"]
end
scope "/api", MyAppWeb do
pipe_through :api
post "/charges", ChargeController, :create
end
```
The header name is the wire name (`"idempotency-key"`); the context key (`:idempotency_key`)
matches the action argument. The Plug validates header syntax, rejects multi-valued or
oversized values, and raises `Plug.BadRequestError` on a violation.
## Share one sanitized error mapper
Ash may return an `AshOnetime.Error` leaf directly or inside an Ash class wrapper. Controllers
should recover the typed code with `AshOnetime.Error.code/1`, then pass only that code to one
shared mapper. The mapper below lists every client error explicitly, lists every retryable `503`
code explicitly, and fails unknown or server-fault codes closed to `500`.
Its public response contains only a recognized code string. It never serializes the exception,
calls the internal error-message helper on a wrapper, or exposes `details` and provider-supplied
reasons.

## Idempotency controller (create action)
A create action protected with `:idempotency` strategy:
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.ChargeController do
use MyAppWeb, :controller
alias MyApp.Charge
alias AshOnetime
alias MyAppWeb.OnetimeErrors
def create(conn, _params) do
# Read the untrusted header the Plug stashed.
idempotency_key = conn.private.ash_onetime.untrusted[:idempotency_key]
changeset =
Charge
|> Ash.Changeset.for_create(:charge, %{amount: conn.body_params["amount"]})
|> Ash.Changeset.set_argument(:idempotency_key, idempotency_key)
case Ash.create(changeset) do
{:ok, charge} ->
# replayed? is tri-state: true (replay) / false (fresh) / nil (untracked)
conn
|> maybe_put_replayed_header(AshOnetime.replayed?(charge))
|> put_status(if AshOnetime.replayed?(charge) == true, do: :ok, else: :created)
|> json(%{data: %{id: charge.id, amount: charge.amount}})
{:error, error} ->
render_error(conn, error)
end
end
defp maybe_put_replayed_header(conn, true),
do: put_resp_header(conn, "idempotent-replayed", "true")
defp maybe_put_replayed_header(conn, _), do: conn
defp render_error(conn, error) do
code = AshOnetime.Error.code(error)
conn
|> put_status(OnetimeErrors.status(code))
|> json(%{errors: %{code: OnetimeErrors.public_code(code)}})
end
end
```
### The replay signal
| `AshOnetime.replayed?(record)` | HTTP status | `Idempotent-Replayed` header |
|---|---|---|
| `true` (tracked replay) | `200 OK` | `Idempotent-Replayed: true` |
| `false` (tracked fresh) | `201 Created` | *(not set)* |
| `nil` (untracked / primitive return) | `201 Created` | *(not set)* |
The `nil` branch is load-bearing: an untracked execution must be observationally indistinguishable
from a fresh one (ADR-0001's untracked-transparency goal). Map it to `201`, never `200`.
## Nonce controller (single-use redemption)
A one-time nonce action has `replayed?/1 == nil` always (nonces don't store a replayable
response — the second call is rejected, not replayed). The controller shape is simpler:
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.RedemptionController do
use MyAppWeb, :controller
alias MyApp.Redemption
alias AshOnetime
alias MyAppWeb.OnetimeErrors
def redeem(conn, _params) do
proof = conn.private.ash_onetime.untrusted[:proof]
changeset =
Redemption
|> Ash.Changeset.for_update(:redeem, %{})
|> Ash.Changeset.set_argument(:proof, proof)
case Ash.update(changeset) do
{:ok, redemption} ->
conn
|> put_status(:ok)
|> json(%{data: %{id: redemption.id, status: redemption.status}})
{:error, error} ->
code = AshOnetime.Error.code(error)
conn
|> put_status(OnetimeErrors.status(code))
|> json(%{errors: %{code: OnetimeErrors.public_code(code)}})
end
end
end
```
Wire the Plug with `proof: "x-onetime-proof"` in the pipeline so the proof header flows into
the `:proof` argument.
## Notes
- The Plug's `conn.private.ash_onetime.untrusted` shape is `%{atom => binary}` — every value is
a raw string. The protected action validates it; the controller must not treat it as trusted.
- The shared error mapper covers every code in the full table, including the 5xx store-fault
codes that override Ash's class-based mapping. Keep the mapper synchronized with
[Errors and HTTP mapping](errors.md).
- `AshOnetime.Error.code/1` accepts either a leaf or an Ash class wrapper. Build the public JSON
body from its recognized code; keep the exception, message, `details`, and provider reasons in
trusted server-side handling.
