Method: Rack::Builder#use

Defined in:
lib/rack/builder.rb

#use(middleware, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Specifies middleware to use in a stack.

class Middleware
  def initialize(app)
    @app = app
  end

  def call(env)
    env["rack.some_header"] = "setting an example"
    @app.call(env)
  end
end

use Middleware
run lambda { |env| [200, { "content-type" => "text/plain" }, ["OK"]] }

All requests through to this application will first be processed by the middleware class. The call method in this example sets an additional environment key which then can be referenced in the application if required.
