Crate problemdetails
source ·Expand description
This crate provides an implementation of a Problem Details response for HTTP APIs, as defined in RFC-7807. This is a standard way for HTTP APIs to indicate that a problem occurred with the request, including some standard payload fields as required.
When used with a supported HTTP Server, this will automatically generate the correct JSON response
and set the Content-Type header to the correct value of application/problem+json.
If used with an unsupported HTTP Server, the status code and body of the problem details can be
extracted and sent manually. The body field is in the correct structure to format into JSON using
something like serde already, so serializing it should be as simple as the HTTP Server allows for.
Examples
Create an empty problem.
problemdetails::new(StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST);Create a populated problem.
problemdetails::new(StatusCode::FORBIDDEN)
.with_type("https://example.com/probs/out-of-credit")
.with_title("You do not have enough credit.")
.with_detail("Your current balance is 30, but that costs 50.")
.with_instance("/account/12345/msgs/abc")
.with_value("balance", 30)
.with_value("accounts", vec!["/account/12345", "/account/67890"]);Features
