URI Variables Example

URI Variables Example

import io.micronaut.http.annotation.Get
import io.micronaut.http.annotation.PathVariable
@Controller("/issues") (1)
class IssuesController {
    @Get("/{number}") (2)
    String issue(@PathVariable Integer number) { (3)
        "Issue # " + number + "!" (4)
    }
}

URI Variables Example

Micronaut will map the URI /issues/{number} for the above controller. We can assert this is the case by writing a set of unit tests:

    private static HttpClient client;
    @BeforeClass (1)
    public static void setupServer() {
        server = ApplicationContext.run(EmbeddedServer.class);
        client = server
                    .getApplicationContext()
                    .createBean(HttpClient.class, server.getURL());
    }
    @AfterClass (2)
    public static void stopServer() {
        if(server != null) {
        }
        if(client != null) {
            client.stop();
        }
    }
    @Test
    public void testIssue() throws Exception {
        String body = client.toBlocking().retrieve("/issues/12"); (3)
        assertNotNull(body);
        assertEquals("Issue # 12!", body); (4)
    }
    @Test
    public void testShowWithInvalidInteger() {
        HttpClientResponseException e =Assertions.assertThrows(HttpClientResponseException.class, () ->
                client.toBlocking().exchange("/issues/hello"));
        assertEquals(400, e.getStatus().getCode()); (5)
    }
    @Test
    public void testIssueWithoutNumber() {
        HttpClientResponseException e = Assertions.assertThrows(HttpClientResponseException.class, () ->
                client.toBlocking().exchange("/issues/"));
        assertEquals(404, e.getStatus().getCode()); (6)
    }
}

            val body = client.toBlocking().retrieve("/issues/12") (3)
            body shouldNotBe null
            body shouldBe "Issue # 12!" (4)
        }
        "test issue with invalid integer" {
            val e = shouldThrow<HttpClientResponseException> { client.toBlocking().exchange<Any>("/issues/hello") }
            e.status.code shouldBe 400 (5)
        }
        "test issue without number" {
            val e = shouldThrow<HttpClientResponseException> { client.toBlocking().exchange<Any>("/issues/") }
            e.status.code shouldBe 404 (6)
        }
    }

Note that the URI template in the previous example requires that the number variable is specified. You can specify optional URI templates with the syntax: /issues{/number} and by annotating the number parameter with @Nullable.
