Module: Roda::RodaPlugins::NotAllowed

Defined in:
lib/roda/plugins/not_allowed.rb

Overview

The not_allowed plugin makes Roda attempt to automatically support the 405 Method Not Allowed response status. The plugin changes the r.get and r.post verb methods to automatically return a 405 status if they are called with any arguments, and the arguments match but the request method does not match. So this code:

r.get '' do
  "a"
end

will return a 200 response for GET / and a 405 response for POST /.

This plugin also changes the r.is method so that if you use a verb method inside r.is, it returns a 405 status if none of the verb methods match. So this code:

r.is '' do
  r.get do
    "a"
  end

  r.post do
    "b"
  end
end

will return a 200 response for GET / and POST /, but a 405 response for PUT /.

Note that this plugin will probably not do what you want for code such as:

r.get '' do
  "a"
end

r.post '' do
  "b"
end

Since for a POST / request, when r.get method matches the path but not the request method, it will return an immediate 405 response. You must DRY up this code for it work correctly, like this:

r.is '' do
  r.get do
    "a"
  end

  r.post do
    "b"
  end
end

In all cases where it uses a 405 response, it also sets the Allow header in the response to contain the request methods supported.

This plugin depends on the all_verbs plugin.
