defmodule Plug.Router do
@moduledoc ~S"""
A DSL to define a routing algorithm that works with Plug.
It provides a set of macros to generate routes. For example:
defmodule AppRouter do
use Plug.Router
plug :match
plug :dispatch
get "/hello" do
send_resp(conn, 200, "world")
end
match _ do
send_resp(conn, 404, "oops")
end
end
Each route needs to return a connection, as per the Plug spec.
A catch-all `match` is recommended to be defined as in the example
above, otherwise routing fails with a function clause error.
The router is itself a plug, which means it can be invoked as:
AppRouter.call(conn, AppRouter.init([]))
Notice the router contains a plug pipeline and by default it requires
two plugs: `match` and `dispatch`. `match` is responsible for
finding a matching route which is then forwarded to `dispatch`.
This means users can easily hook into the router mechanism and add
behaviour before match, before dispatch or after both.
To specify private options on `match` that can be used by plugs
before `dispatch` pass an option with key `:private` containing a map.
Example:
get "/hello", private: %{an_option: :a_value} do
send_resp(conn, 200, "world")
end
These options are assigned to `:private` in the call's `Plug.Conn`.
## Routes
get "/hello" do
send_resp(conn, 200, "world")
end
In the example above, a request will only match if it is a `GET` request and
the route is "/hello". The supported HTTP methods are `get`, `post`, `put`,
`patch`, `delete` and `options`.
A route can also specify parameters which will then be
available in the function body:
get "/hello/:name" do
send_resp(conn, 200, "hello #{name}")
end
Routes allow for globbing which will match the remaining parts
of a route and can be available as a parameter in the function
body. Also note that a glob can't be followed by other segments:
get "/hello/*_rest" do
send_resp(conn, 200, "matches all routes starting with /hello")
end
get "/hello/*glob" do
send_resp(conn, 200, "route after /hello: #{inspect glob}")
end
Finally, a general `match` function is also supported:
match "/hello" do
send_resp(conn, 200, "world")
end
A `match` will match any route regardless of the HTTP method.
Check `match/3` for more information on how route compilation
works and a list of supported options.
## Error handling
In case something goes wrong in a request, the router by default
will crash, without returning any response to the client. This
behaviour can be configured in two ways, by using two different
modules:
* `Plug.ErrorHandler` - allows the developer to customize exactly
which page is sent to the client via the `handle_errors/2` function;
* `Plug.Debugger` - automatically shows debugging and request information
about the failure. This module is recommended to be used only in a
development environment.
Here is an example of how both modules could be used in an application:
defmodule AppRouter do
use Plug.Router
if Mix.env == :dev do
use Plug.Debugger
end
use Plug.ErrorHandler
plug :match
plug :dispatch
get "/hello" do
send_resp(conn, 200, "world")
end
defp handle_errors(conn, %{kind: _kind, reason: _reason, stack: _stack}) do
send_resp(conn, conn.status, "Something went wrong")
end
end
## Routes compilation
All routes are compiled to a match function that receives
three arguments: the method, the request path split on `/`
and the connection. Consider this example:
match "/foo/bar", via: :get do
send_resp(conn, 200, "hello world")
end
It is compiled to:
defp match("GET", ["foo", "bar"], conn) do
send_resp(conn, 200, "hello world")
end
This opens up a few possibilities. First, guards can be given
to `match`:
match "/foo/:bar" when size(bar) <= 3, via: :get do
send_resp(conn, 200, "hello world")
end
Second, a list of split paths (which is the compiled result) is
also allowed:
match ["foo", bar], via: :get do
send_resp(conn, 200, "hello world")
end
After a match is found, the block given as `do/end` is stored
as a function in the connection. This function is then retrieved
and invoked in the `dispatch` plug.
## Options
When used, the following options are accepted by `Plug.Router`:
* `:log_on_halt` - accepts the level to log whenever the request is halted

## Match
@doc """
Main API to define routes.
It accepts an expression representing the path and many options
allowing the match to be configured.
## Examples
match "/foo/bar", via: :get do
send_resp(conn, 200, "hello world")
end
## Options
`match/3` and the other route macros accept the following options:
* `:host` - the host which the route should match. Defaults to `nil`,
meaning no host match, but can be a string like "example.com" or a
string ending with ".", like "subdomain." for a subdomain match.
* `:via` - matches the route against some specific HTTP method (specified as
an atom, like `:get` or `:put`.
* `:do` - contains the implementation to be invoked in case
the route matches.

Forwards requests to another Plug. The `path_info` of the forwarded
connection will exclude the portion of the path specified in the
call to `forward`.
## Options
`forward` accepts the following options:
* `:to` - a Plug the requests will be forwarded to.
* `:host` - a string representing the host or subdomain, exactly like in
`match/3`.
All remaining options are passed to the target plug.
## Examples
forward "/users", to: UserRouter
Assuming the above code, a request to `/users/sign_in` will be forwarded to
the `UserRouter` plug, which will receive what it will see as a request to
`/sign_in`.
Some other examples:
forward "/foo/bar", to: :foo_bar_plug, host: "foobar."
forward "/api", to: ApiRouter, plug_specific_option: true
