HTTP-API-PROBLEM

A library to create HTTP response content for APIs based on RFC7807.

** Breaking changes! This crate now uses http::StatusCode instead of the own custom one **

Usage

Get the latest version for your Cargo.toml from crates.io.

Add this to your crate root:

extern crate http_api_problem;

serde

HttpApiProblem implements Serialize and Deserialize for HttpApiProblem.

Examples

use http_api_problem::*;

let p = HttpApiProblem::with_title_and_type_from_status(HttpStatusCode::NotFound)
    .set_detail("detailed explanation")
    .set_instance("/on/1234/do/something");

assert_eq!(Some("https://httpstatuses.com/404".to_string()), p.type_url);
assert_eq!(Some(HttpStatusCode::NotFound), p.status);
assert_eq!("Not Found".to_string(), p.title);
assert_eq!(Some("detailed explanation".to_string()), p.detail);
assert_eq!(Some("/on/1234/do/something".to_string()), p.instance);

There is also From<u16> implemented for HttpStatusCode:

use http_api_problem::*;

let p = HttpApiProblem::with_title_and_type_from_status(428)
    .set_detail("detailed explanation")
    .set_instance("/on/1234/do/something");

assert_eq!(Some("https://httpstatuses.com/428".to_string()), p.type_url);
assert_eq!(Some(HttpStatusCode::PreconditionRequired), p.status);
assert_eq!("Precondition Required".to_string(), p.title);
assert_eq!(Some("detailed explanation".to_string()), p.detail);
assert_eq!(Some("/on/1234/do/something".to_string()), p.instance);

Features

with_iron

There is a conversion between irons StatusCode and HttpStatusCode back and forth.

The HttpApiProblem provides a method to_iron_response which constructs an iron Response. If the status field of the HttpApiProblem is None 500 - Internal Server Error is the default.

From<HttpApiProblem for iron::response::Response will also be there. It simply calls to_iron_response.

Additionally there will be a function into_iron_response which converts anything into an iron::response::Response that can be converted into a HttpApiProblem.

with_hyper

There is a conversion between hyperss StatusCode and HttpStatusCode back and forth.

The HttpApiProblem provides a method to_hyper_response which constructs a hyper Response. If the status field of the HttpApiProblem is None 500 - Internal Server Error is the default.

From<HttpApiProblem for hyper::Response will also be there. It simply calls to_hyper_response.

Additionally there will be a function into_iron_response which converts anything into a hyper::Response that can be converted into a HttpApiProblem.

with_rocket(nightly only)

There is a conversion between rockets Status and HttpStatusCode back and forth.

HttpApiProblem implements rocket::response::Responder, allowing it to be returned from rocket handlers directly (e.g. as Result<T, HttpApiProblem>). It also provides a method to_rocket_response which explicitly constructs a rocket Response. If the status field of the HttpApiProblem is None 500 - Internal Server Error is the default.

From<HttpApiProblem for rocket::Response will also be there. It simply calls to_rocket_response.

Additionally there will be a function into_rocket_response which converts anything into a rocket::Response that can be converted into a HttpApiProblem.
