Method: Roda::RodaPlugins::Base::RequestMethods#root

Defined in:

lib/roda/request.rb

#root(&block) ⇒ Object

Match method that only matches GET requests where the current path is /. If it matches, the match block is executed, and when the match block returns, the rack response is returned.

[r.request_method, r.remaining_path]
# => ['GET', '/']

r.root do
  # matches
end

This is usuable inside other match blocks:

[r.request_method, r.remaining_path]
# => ['GET', '/foo/']

r.on 'foo' do
  r.root do
    # matches
  end
end

Note that this does not match non-GET requests:

[r.request_method, r.remaining_path]
# => ['POST', '/']

r.root do
  # does not match
end

Use r.post "" for POST requests where the current path is /.

Nor does it match empty paths:

[r.request_method, r.remaining_path]
# => ['GET', '/foo']

r.on 'foo' do
  r.root do
    # does not match
  end
end

Use r.get true to handle GET requests where the current path is empty.
