.represent(model_class, options) ⇒ Object

Allows you to specify a default representation entity for a class. This allows you to map your models to their respective entities once and then simply call present with the model.

Note that Grape will automatically go up the class ancestry to try to find a representing entity, so if you, for example, define an entity to represent Object then all presented objects will bubble up and utilize the entity provided on that represent call.

Examples:

class ExampleAPI < Grape::API
  represent User, :with => Entity::User

  get '/me' do
    present current_user # :with => Entity::User is assumed
  end
end

Parameters:

  • model_class (Class) —

    The model class that will be represented.

  • options (Hash) —

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (options):

  • :with (Class) —

    The entity class that will represent the model.

Raises:

def represent(model_class, options)
  raise Grape::Exceptions::InvalidWithOptionForRepresent.new unless options[:with] && options[:with].is_a?(Class)
  imbue(:representations, model_class => options[:with])
end

.rescue_from(*exception_classes, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Allows you to rescue certain exceptions that occur to return a grape error rather than raising all the way to the server level.

Examples:

Rescue from custom exceptions

class ExampleAPI < Grape::API
  class CustomError < StandardError; end

  rescue_from CustomError
end

Parameters:

  • exception_classes (Array) —

    A list of classes that you want to rescue, or the symbol :all to rescue from all exceptions.

  • block (Block) —

    Execution block to handle the given exception.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Options for the rescue usage.

Options Hash (options):

  • :backtrace (Boolean) —

    Include a backtrace in the rescue response.

  route(:any, '/hello') do
    {:hello => 'world'}
  end
end

483
 
# File 'lib/grape/api.rb', line 479

def call(env)
  status, headers, body = @route_set.call(env)
  headers.delete('X-Cascade') unless cascade?
  [ status, headers, body ]
end

#cascade? ⇒ Boolean

Some requests may return a HTTP 404 error if grape cannot find a matching route. In this case, Rack::Mount adds a X-Cascade header to the response and sets it to 'pass', indicating to grape's parents they should keep looking for a matching route on other resources.

In some applications (e.g. mounting grape on rails), one might need to trap errors from reaching upstream. This is effectivelly done by unsetting X-Cascade. Default :cascade is true.

Returns:
