Expand description

Resources scope.

Scope is a set of resources with common root path. Scopes collect multiple paths under a common path prefix. Scope path can contain variable path segments as resources. Scope prefix is always complete path segment, i.e /app would be converted to a /app/ and it would not match /app path.

You can get variable path segments from HttpRequest::match_info(). Path extractor also is able to extract scope level variable segments.

use actix_web::{web, App, HttpResponse};

fn main() {
    let app = App::new().service(
        web::scope("/{project_id}/")
            .service(web::resource("/path1").to(|| async { "OK" }))
            .service(web::resource("/path2").route(web::get().to(|| HttpResponse::Ok())))
            .service(web::resource("/path3").route(web::head().to(HttpResponse::MethodNotAllowed)))
    );
}

In the above example three routes get registered:

  • /{project_id}/path1 - responds to all http method
  • /{project_id}/path2 - GET requests
  • /{project_id}/path3 - HEAD requests

Implementations

Create a new scope

Add match guard to a scope.

use actix_web::{web, guard, App, HttpRequest, HttpResponse};

async fn index(data: web::Path<(String, String)>) -> &'static str {
    "Welcome!"
}

fn main() {
    let app = App::new().service(
        web::scope("/app")
            .guard(guard::Header("content-type", "text/plain"))
            .route("/test1", web::get().to(index))
            .route("/test2", web::post().to(|r: HttpRequest| {
                HttpResponse::MethodNotAllowed()
            }))
    );
}

Add scope data.

Data of different types from parent contexts will still be accessible. Any Data<T> types set here can be extracted in handlers using the Data<T> extractor.

Examples
use std::cell::Cell;
use actix_web::{web, App, HttpRequest, HttpResponse, Responder};

struct MyData {
    count: std::cell::Cell<usize>,
}

async fn handler(req: HttpRequest, counter: web::Data<MyData>) -> impl Responder {
    // note this cannot use the Data<T> extractor because it was not added with it
    let incr = *req.app_data::<usize>().unwrap();
    assert_eq!(incr, 3);

    // update counter using other value from app data
    counter.count.set(counter.count.get() + incr);

    HttpResponse::Ok().body(counter.count.get().to_string())
}

let app = App::new().service(
    web::scope("/app")
        .app_data(3usize)
        .app_data(web::Data::new(MyData { count: Default::default() }))
        .route("/", web::get().to(handler))
);
👎 Deprecated since 4.0.0:

Use .app_data(Data::new(val)) instead.

Add scope data after wrapping in Data<T>.

Deprecated in favor of app_data.

Run external configuration as part of the scope building process.

This function is useful for moving parts of configuration to a different module or library. For example, some of the resource’s configuration could be moved to different module.

use actix_web::{web, middleware, App, HttpResponse};

// this function could be located in different module
fn config(cfg: &mut web::ServiceConfig) {
    cfg.service(web::resource("/test")
        .route(web::get().to(|| HttpResponse::Ok()))
        .route(web::head().to(|| HttpResponse::MethodNotAllowed()))
    );
}

fn main() {
    let app = App::new()
        .wrap(middleware::Logger::default())
        .service(
            web::scope("/api")
                .configure(config)
        )
        .route("/index.html", web::get().to(|| HttpResponse::Ok()));
}

Register HTTP service.

This is similar to App's service registration.

Actix Web provides several services implementations:

  • Resource is an entry in resource table which corresponds to requested URL.
  • Scope is a set of resources with common root path.
  • “StaticFiles” is a service for static files support
use actix_web::{web, App, HttpRequest};

struct AppState;

async fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> &'static str {
    "Welcome!"
}

fn main() {
    let app = App::new().service(
        web::scope("/app").service(
            web::scope("/v1")
                .service(web::resource("/test1").to(index)))
    );
}

Configure route for a specific path.

This is a simplified version of the Scope::service() method. This method can be called multiple times, in that case multiple resources with one route would be registered for same resource path.

use actix_web::{web, App, HttpResponse};

async fn index(data: web::Path<(String, String)>) -> &'static str {
    "Welcome!"
}

fn main() {
    let app = App::new().service(
        web::scope("/app")
            .route("/test1", web::get().to(index))
            .route("/test2", web::post().to(|| HttpResponse::MethodNotAllowed()))
    );
}

Default service to be used if no matching route could be found.

If default resource is not registered, app’s default resource is being used.

Registers middleware, in the form of a middleware component (type), that runs during inbound processing in the request life-cycle (request -> response), modifying request as necessary, across all requests managed by the Scope.

Use middleware when you need to read or modify every request in some way.

Registers middleware, in the form of a closure, that runs during inbound processing in the request life-cycle (request -> response), modifying request as necessary, across all requests managed by the Scope.

Examples
use actix_service::Service;
use actix_web::{web, App};
use actix_web::http::header::{CONTENT_TYPE, HeaderValue};

async fn index() -> &'static str {
    "Welcome!"
}

fn main() {
    let app = App::new().service(
        web::scope("/app")
            .wrap_fn(|req, srv| {
                let fut = srv.call(req);
                async {
                    let mut res = fut.await?;
                    res.headers_mut().insert(
                       CONTENT_TYPE, HeaderValue::from_static("text/plain"),
                    );
                    Ok(res)
                }
            })
            .route("/index.html", web::get().to(index)));
}
